Ending A Business Emotionally – Who Misses NU107?

Immense sadness engulfed the Pinoy rock crowd along Garnet and Emerald Streets in Ortigas when NU107 played the Eraserheads’ “Ang Huling El Bimbo” as its final song on air and signed off for the last time a little past midnight on November 8, 2010.  Rock musicians and enthusiasts were orphaned and left without any alternative rock station to listen to and to fill in the void.

Close to 3 years since the station’s demise, the same old rockers and fans still long for the pleasurable noise and rhythm of NU107. Some Facebook group members even speculate a big comeback in November this year. (Rumor-mongering/publicity is sometimes good for a business’ health. :P)

All of us 90’s buffs will never forget the institutional programs of In The Raw, Crossroads, Against The Flow, The Midnight Countdown, Not Radio, Jake/Zach & Joey in the Morning, and the rest of the other successful shows including Rock Ed Radio, University Rock, unTV‘s Strangebrew that ran almost all throughout the whole new millennium.

What Happens To Your Shares When the Company Gets Delisted?

I had an opportunity to coach a relatively small group of OFW’s in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia last Thursday, April 11, 2013 that included mostly of couples and their young children. It was an interesting session as questions thrown in were very challenging.

One of the questions asked by a participant was, “what happens to our shares when a company we’re buying becomes delisted from the PSEi”?

And then this morning, I read another similar question asked by a forum member to COL Financial advisor, Mike Viñas who was worried as to what will happen to her shares in a company that has been delisted by the PSE. She was not aware that the delisting has already happened. Continue reading What Happens To Your Shares When the Company Gets Delisted?
