stock filing bankruptcy
| HelpRegister |
stock filing bankruptcy I have submitted filings when one of my stocks ended up in law suits. Save your buy and sell confirmations, copies are needed in order to file for your share of any settlement. The forms are easy and you are entitles to any settlement coming to you. When stock holders do not file for their share, it means a greater share for those who do file. Even if the settlement is small it is greated than not filing for the settlement.

Simply stated, most of those types of lawsuits apply to the dates of purchase, so if you purchased the stock after a certain date and sold it at a loss after the issue arose (misstated earnings, fraud, etc.), you would still be entitled to any settlement. That being said, the lawyers make a lot of money from those suits, but the shareholders get little to no benefit, so I would not worry about it. Sell the stock if you can, even for just $1 and take the loss on the tax return.

Or would having owned the shares secure your rights?

They are not worthless, but they may not be worth much. Many companies eventually cancel their outstanding stock when the bankruptcy is finalized. That is the point when the shares become worthless and you can write them off, but this can take several years. Until then, you'd own a stock with little value that would make your club record keeping a bit harder because you'd have to update its price manually. If you want to keep things simple, you'll probably want to have your broker sell the shares you have ASAP so you can remove them from your records. Laurie Frederiksen Invest with your friends!
