Riley G: Does that mean that all brokers and dealers are to ignore the following caveat offered by the SEC in their notice of halt in trading because as of tomorrow RMIL will be in compliance with all the SEC has asked them to do? Therefore brokers and dealers do not have to be concerned with not being in compliance with Rule 15c2-11. "Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, AT THE TERMINATION OF THE TRADING SUSPENSION, (my emphasis and as outlined in the suspension notice 11:59 p.m. EST, on January 6, 1998) NO QUOTATION MAY BE ENTERED UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY HAVE STRICTLY COMPLIED WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE RULE. (Again my emphasis) If any broker or dealer has any questions as to whether or not he has complied with the rule, he should not enter any quotation but immediately contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-11, he should refrain from entering quotations relating to RMIL's securities until such time as he has familiarized himself with the rule AND IS CERTAIN THAT ALL OF ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MET.(my emphasis) If any broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action. Note that this information above pertains to trading after the last day specified in the original trading suspension notice. IMHO that means that unless RMIL has filed a current 10K, complete with audit verification and accepted by the SEC , no legitimate trading will take place tomorrow. Good luck! TLW
