Is there any kind of law to protect stock i own in a bank if the bank goes under?
My wife and I own what was $3000 worth of stock in a local, yet fairly large bank. Her father bought it for her when she was younger for $3000, and the bank had grown in size significantly. Now it is under cease and desist from the Feds and the FDIC. If it goes under, do we lose it all, or is it somewhat protected?

As a shareholder you have no insurance like those of the depositors, and you do stand to loose your investment.

However, if the bank is taken over by another bank that could buy their assets and assume their depositors and loans, then you stock may retain some value.

In some cases such as yours, major stockholder could take legal action against the board and bank officers with the possibility of trying to recover part of their investment as shareholders.

As a shareholder you own the corporate charter, which may have value to another bank or as a shell corporation for investors who would be willing to start another bank.

At this point in time, you just have to sit back and wait until the notices from receivers or other shareholders are distributed.

shareholders will probably lose it all.

First, check the current price. It is probably so low that you have to hold on and hope it rebounds.

Seize and desist? This is hard to understand. WaMu, as an example, was seized and resold in less than a day.

If it completely fails the shareholders will lose all.

One strategy is SELL HALF.

No. That is the risk you take when you invest in stock. Deposits are FDIC insured, not stock shares.

It is not protected. FDIC protects deposits. Nothing protects stock. When you are buy stock, there is an assumption of risk. Have you ever heard the phrase "past performance does not guarantee future results" Its in virtually every prospectus. I am assuming this is common stock. The rules are a little different for preferred. If a company is insolvent, the assets are claimed 1st) by bond holders, 2nd) by preferred stock holders, 3rd) common stock holders.

Good luck. Please get more information about the stock you own.

No. You are thinking of the unlucky depositors assets. The shareholders who kept the board of directors in position while the bank steamed onto the rocks lose all the money they staked on profiting from the bank.

I believe the FDIC covers up to $100,000. What a lot of people don't realize is that there is some fine print that allows the FDIC 99 years to pay back the money.
