Hi Drew,it would help if you told us, which shares you're talking about. And when you tried to sell them.Two possible reasons come immediately to mind:1. you tried to sell after hours;2. trading in the shares was halted, maybe even suspendedA variation on theme 2: The share might have been placed in Pre-Open for about ten minutes, pending an announcement, which in other systems comes as "Notice Received". Whenever a company makes a price-sensitive announcement, such as a profit guidance, financial report, or similar, ASX puts the shares in a temporary Pre-Open, so traders have the opportunity to digest the news and make up their mind whether they want to buy, sell, or hold.
