Big Board Pulls New Century; Trading Halted 

New Century Financial Corporation (NYSE: NEW) said today that the New York Stock Exchange has halted trading of its stock, including both common and preferred stock. Saying that the NYSE Board had determined that New Century’s stock was “no longer suitable for continued listing on the NYSE and will be suspended immediately,” the company said the exchange’s decision was driven by the company’s recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
