Can you sell stock after bankruptcies?
A company’s stock may continue to have value and trade on a public stock exchange even though it is in bankruptcy. Stocks that do not meet the requirements to be listed (and thus traded) on one of the major exchanges like the NYSE or the NASDAQ, may trade on other public exchanges like the OTC or the Pink Sheets.
Can a stock come back from zero?
A stock price can never actually go below zero. So you won’t owe anybody any money. You just won’t have anything. If a company goes out of business, they’ll likely have outstanding debts that creditors will try to collect.
Can the trustee take my tax refund after filing Chapter 7?
Tax Refunds Are Property of the Estate Here’s the rule: If you earned all or part of a tax refund for work you did before filing for bankruptcy, that portion of your tax refund is part of your bankruptcy estate. So that portion of the refund belongs to your trustee unless the refund is protected by an exemption.
