To be honest I get nervous when it comes to halts for the same reason you wrote. However, when I went back and reviewed all the halts that resulted in a negative SP action it was very for telling with the trend that the stock was displaying (in other words the trend was moving down expecting something bad was on the horizon.) I have also been on the upside of SP surprised that were very positive. Remember IIROC decide to halt the stock for news of material matter not the company and something has significantly changed with INT to cause this halt. I am crossing my fingers the news is good, but I admit I am nervous!

By the way, I subcribe to a stock trading service and my contact has a friend who knows the president of INT says good news is coming. The only ones who know are the insiders and they kept this very close as it did not show in a rush to buy INT. It does make me wonder how significant the news is!! Have a good weekend everyone!
