Sounds to me like the risk managers are reluctant to increase their exposure to losses here much more than they are already on the hook for. A month ago the order would have been filled in a heartbeat. They know just as we do that good news is coming and that good news is going to exacerbate their problems. I hope those that can have set very very high GTC's on their shares. Fidelity won't allow it but Etrade will and I believe but am not certain that Ameritrade will as well. In the meantime I hope you are aware of the efforts the minions of the shorts are making to try and lower longs expectations. seems they have pretty much given up on getting longs to sell as they now realioze that isn't happening. Go IPIX!!!
