Does anyone have any positive info about weatherford and what direction they are headed in? Where will they be in a year or two? Do employees get out or stay? Will the paychecks keep coming or will they not be able to pay you one day??

It’s best to think on WFTs current situation like a game of Monopoly. In this game they bought a bunch of properties, some were good, some not so good. For example, Park Place and Baltic Avenue. But they spent most of their money hoping to cash in as... — read more

What will happen to my Weatherford stock? Does it get deleted from all online accounts?
