If there is a cash settlement you would simply see the amount of cash per share that is settled on in your account and your shares go poof. They can have my shares for $5 per share LOL.
The shares all of us hold are shares of the holding company. The bank is gone and the holding company won't get it back. Even without a bank, the holding company has other, less significant operations.
Regardless to whether they just put money in out accounts and the shares disappear or a settlement "fattens" our stocks, either way we are big time winners tradersrule. I am just hoping for a win in May. The money we save in taxes will be massive for us old time holders of El Banco.
