We sometimes forget anything can happen.

We are getting screwed by all sides here but the news of a deal is good plain and simple. We have to take it as a step in the right direction.

We each have a view of how this will turn out for shareholders. Some views will be we get nothing. Other views will be we get something and some views might be we get a settlement of north of 2 billion and do ok is we are averaged down.

Kind of the glass half full vs half empty.

All the points you bring up are valid and may happen. Even if we win we may not get anything. I don't see the issue of trading as being the end. Options are out their to get what we are owed. It will just make things more difficult for shareholders who want to trade and sell but it doesn't mean management gets to keep the money to do what they want with even if that fits in with their MO.

We could get hit by an asteroid the day we are to get paid or the banks could collapse and we get stuck.

I have taken the road that we will get something unless I'm proved we won't as opposed to be will get nothing but hope I'm wrong.

We are all in this mess because of our own greed. Personally I have learned a difficult lessen that I already knew but ignored. Nothing can change that and I'm no worse the wear for being optimistic I will get something when this ordeal is over.
