You haven't lost it yet for IRS purposes. It will only become a deductible loss when Syquest officially declares a different kind of bankruptcy, such as Chapter 7.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a means of getting the courts to allow the business to continue operating under an agreed plan to attempt to "emerge" again as a whole entity.

The process takes a while. In reality, the shareholders are probably going to receive absolutely nothing for their shares but the process could drag on for a long time, read years, before a final resolution.

Chin up. There is a one in a million chance that you can still get some money back.

You should really know this stuff BEFORE you speculate with such a risky stock!
