Joe K asked:


I own stock in a company that is facing bankruptcy. Will I lose my stock if the company is acquired by another company or will I lose my stock if they go bankrupt and do a reorganization settlement/agreement with their creditors?

I own stock in a company that is getting ready to emerge from bankruptcy, with a new stock symbol. Will my stock be converted into the new stock symbol or stay the old symbol? Will my current stock be worth the same price as newly issued common stock? What will happen to my shares?
