Remond Of Dow Jones Newswires NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of Absolute Health and Fitness (AHFI) fell sharply Thursday after they resumed following a 10-day suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC halted trading in Absolute Health stock on Dec. 15 because of "a lack of current and accurate information" about the company and because of "questions regarding the accuracy of assertions by Absolute Health, and by others, in public statements to investors." None of the information typically filed by a broker-dealer requesting the resumption of trading after a halt has been filed with the NASD and the shares of Absolute Health are currently trading in the grey, or unofficial, market. The stock of Absolute Health closed at $1.05, down 62% from its closing price before the SEC halt. More than 3.8 million shares traded Thursday. Shareholders Continue To Lack Information An "In The Money" column on Dec. 9 detailed Absolute Health and the complete lack of information about the company, its business, its insiders or its shareholders. The column highlighted, among others things, that Randall Rohm, a man identified in promotional online newsletters as president of Absolute Health, is being sued by a business partner alleging that Rohm mismanaged gyms they own together. That man, Jeremy Jaynes, was convicted in November by a Virginia jury on felony charges for violating that state's tough e-mail spam law. Jaynes is out on bail awaiting sentencing. The stock of Absolute Health was trading on the unregulated Pink Sheets before the SEC halt but is not currently eligible to trade on that quotation system. Instead, one or several brokers appear to be putting trades directly through Nasdaq's Automated Confirmation Transaction Service, or ACT, a person familiar with the matter said. Typically, a broker-dealer looking to initiate or resume trading in a stock must file information with the NASD regarding the company. But in the case of Absolute Health, no such information was filed which means that the company's shares continue to trade with a complete lack of accurate information about its insiders and purported assets. -By Carol S.
