My question to my fellow Freepers is.. Do I buy or sell?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

DUMP IT

[SBeck]

Keep it for the class action to follow.

[AM2000]

If you've held on to it all the way to 0.07, why bother selling now?

[Jim Robinson]

Hold. You can always get the stock certificates and use to paper your bathroom. Will be a great conversation piece.

[Illbay]

Hang on to it. You ought to be able to sell the certificates on eBay in about twenty years, just in time for your retirement!

[Thane_Banquo]

You could buy another 100 shares for 7 bucks. Do some dollar-cost averaging. You have already lost way more, but there is virtually no chance WCOM would come back. Depending on how much in dollar terms is still in WCOM, you lose nothing more by staying in, unless you have 15,000 shares or something.

[MinuteGal]

Sell. She may bring a pretty good price in today's market.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Sell and invest in realestate.

[KantianBurke]

the wife or the stock? ;>

[RightWhale]

Do I buy or sell?

Have the shares delivered to you. Put the certificate in your scrapbook. The greatgrandkids will get a chuckle over it.

[da_toolman]

hold on to it, class action lawsuit is quite possible.

[fogarty]

WorldCom has so many creditors that shareholders (who are last in line for any bankruptcy or liquidation) might get back a tenth of what they put in. Maybe.

So sure, go ahead and sell. Your shares may be worth 7 bucks now. If you hold on, in a few months you may get 1 buck back after the company is broken up and sold off.

[Quilla]

Whatever you do, you may want to do it quickly. I heard that the SEC will delist WorldCom either tomorrow or Monday. For whatever it's worth, Neal Boortz said he had a few friends who had actually retired based on their WorldCom holdings. He (and I as well) hoped they sold out their positions before this recent collapse.

Don't be too hard on your wife, I've ignored tips that I'm still kicking myself over the fortunes I could have made had I just listened.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Sell her. Buy a boat.

[olivia3boys]

Just don't be too hard on your wife even though you were right in the end. A good marriage is worth more than money, right?

[budwiesest]

Sorry, can't help, I don't buy stock, I buy beer.(The price for which never seem to go down.) The market must be fixed.

BTW, these are the Roaring 20's to any dyslexic.

[mdittmar]

She loved her World Com stock

That's the problem,my ex father inlaw was a bigwig with Sambos restaurants,remember them,he loved that company,and stuck with them all the way down.Lost everything.

Never fall in love with a company.

Hey, I bought GE stock when it was $65.00, and it went down to $20.00 when Jack Welch's wife found out about his girlfriend. Thanks to this romance stuff, I have lost over $30,000.00. Life ain't fair. And they're railing after Martha Stewart. Chicken feed, in my opinion. (I've held on hoping for an upswing.) I don't think you should, though.

[per loin]

proudly announced that whe just bought

Your use of the feminized variant of "we" indicates that you will have to ask her whether to buy or sell. Let us know what she decides.

[Sungirl]

So is it your turn for the silent treatment?
