Only prefs (P's and K's) have a par value.
Commons have no par value.
Actually, prefs had a par value, but because they have been cancelled and replaced by escrow markers, the concept of par value is no longer applicable.
In order for a pref escrow marker to receive the par of its predecessor security, $10 billion would need to be distributed. I optimistically estimate the chances of that happening at about 1 in 10,000. And only 1 other poster that I know of holds more P escrows than I do, so it is not as if I don't care about the amount that will be distributed.
I am extremely irritated at a couple of posters who have convinced many in this congregation of an absolute fantasy: that a major payout is a certainty. It is not, no matter how developed and convincing their theories are. Catz' payout estimate is going to be far far closer to the reality.
Don't give up your day job.
