Merge motley required

hi there Jason Moser analyst with Motley Fool one thanks for joining us for another edition of ask fool today we're taking a question a question from Steve who asks after the merger I went from five hundred shares of aamrq 233 shares of a al or american airlines will I recover any additional shares over the coming months and he's talking about the merger with US air and so I want to go ahead and just go into this really quick the bottom line here Steve it's possible that you will receive additional shares or fractions of shares after the obligatory of the obligatory 120-day period if we look at the notes of effective date it says and I quote the effective date of the plan is defined in the plan occurred on December 9 2013 and as a result the plan has been substantially consummated so that's essentially just another way of saying the deal is done but you know if we look at the effective date of the plan it aamrq holders may receive additional distributions based on American Airlines common stock trading price during the 120-day period after the effective date along with the total amount of allowed claims so with the effective date of December 9th you're looking at about four months from there or around april 9th which will be the expiration of that effective date and this will be based on in part it'll be based on american airlines the stock price at that time now it's more than likely you won't be much if you do recover any additional funds but it's certainly possible so I would hang in there and see hopefully though this is something you can look back on as an investing lesson now sometimes it costs us a little bit in the short run but they can be invaluable in the long run and in basically investing in special in special situations and bankruptcies is just plain tough to do it's not impossible of course but you need to approach these types of investments with the utmost skepticism in my opinion if you think about the risk-reward ratio and whether it's something you're comfortable with and further go ahead and accept the fact that they're going to be plenty of people out there who know more about this situation than you do and the bottom line is that the deck is not usually stacked in the end of investors favor I've always believed that investing is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it there are plenty of great companies out there they can earn attractive returns for years on end so you know after this is after all this is said and done see the glass-is-half-full here I think you've learned a great lesson and that should serve you well as an investor is sometimes we have to live it to actually learn it but I doubt you'll forget it after after after you...
