Attention, those of you who own Weatherford International plc (WFT): WFT has entered bankruptcy, and has changed its symbol to WFTIQ. This will likely leave the stock price with little or no value in the future. At this time we recommend selling the shares and recognizing the loss in the Snider Investment Method®.
We recommend these steps to close the WFTIQ position:
• Sell all your WFTIQ shares.
• Record the information about the sale on your Individual Stock Purchase Record.
• Complete the “Profit from Closed Position” portion of the Individual Stock Purchase Record. In this case ‘Profit’ will be negative.
• Record the loss on the Monthly Stake Worksheet.
• Remove WFTIQ from your Allocated Cash Worksheet.
