Simple, please tell me how you are still able to trade? Are you an "expert trader"? Aren't they the only ones who can trade the stock at this time? If so, simpleknight might be a deceptive handle. Sorry, but we get so many trolls over here!

But to answer your questions, IMO,

1. yes stock will come back stronger with a clean slate.

2) What do folks estimate the chances are of: going private; restructuring to a new company with new shares; being absorbed by another company; completely disappearing?

None. Pasaca Agreement is in place. Future in that regard is secure. See my last post for IMO of new registration.

3) In those scenarios, how many of them result in our ending up with nothing?

DJPele research in his posts show that shareholders are protected in the process.

4) Is it better to hold and hope, or sell now and wait until whatever happens happens, and then buy back in at that point?

Do you know the date that QMC will file the S-1 and ask reregistration of it's shares?
Do you know how we much revenue QMC will reveal in the reregistration?
Answer those two questions and you'll know what to do.
