  1. Regarding VSTNQ, can these pop out of bankruptcy at any time? Or is there a particular go/no-go date?

    Definitely not a good idea to hold this stock as a bag, but should I be worried that one day I will wake up and loose all the stock I had running o/n?

    Thanks,

    (BTW, I keep reading March 16th is the go/no-go decision for this stock coming out of bankruptcy.)

    1. They can theoretically pop out of bankruptcy in a good way at any time, but generally speaking the shares will not be cancelled (become worthless) except according to schedule. Stocks can remain in bankruptcy for a long time (for example, LEHMQ has been there almost a year and a half). In the meantime, they make for interesting trading due to short squeezes and momentum traders.

  2. Awesome calls in chat today, Reaper. I profited on BELM (500 sh from 4.99 to 5.15) and picked up some MCGI at 2.07 for overnight. Just got the email from BestDamnPennyStocks, and MCGI is their pick. Should open nicely tomorrow.
