I dunno Clawmann, but I think you are reaching. Which is ok. Long ago I felt that preferreds would need to see at least 70% before commons got a bone. Commons got a bigger bone, relatively but the best way I can reconcile that is the pre-seizure holders are deserving, if that enters into the equation anywhere. I suspect it did, because of the massive fraud involved. I remember in the Worldcom case, the SEC took $750 million right off the top and distributed it later to the commons on a sliding scale, depending on how long the shares were held. No one argued with that, even though senior creditors only got a 23% recovery. And Bernie Ebbers rots in prison, where Jamie is destined.
