X3AP stock share recovery issue ?

[dadmod]

Greetings,
Long time player in the Poisoned Paranid scenario. Have advanced through the business scenario up to level 10 'business total monopoly' however I'm stuck with 1200+ corporation shares to retrieve and for some reason I am not getting any messages that another group of shares have been located for me to track down (I believe the auction set is next). Without this set I won't get the 'blood stained' note leading to the new asteroid/gate discovery that ultimately results in discovery of a new sector.
I returned to a save game at level 6 'first positive steps' with the same result.
Has anyone experienced similar? Is this some glitch? Any corrective measure available?
Thanks
dadmod

There's no need to post the same thing in different forums. I'll leave this gameplay post open and lock the other.
