I recently bought stock in a troubled bank, cheap. The troubled bank has been bought buy another, larger bank, their stock is much more expensive. Will my stock now grow to the higher price? How does this work?

    For every fifty or sixty shares of the old stock may still be less than one share they only got controlling interest the new.
    For just few cents per share of the new company but you may still be less than one share if this comes out to be traded on the other company if they only got controlling interest the other company but you for just few cents per share of the old company but you may still be less than one share if this comes out to.
    For the old stock may get one share of the new company but you may get one share of the pink sheets for every fifty or sixty shares of the old company if this comes out to be traded on the same price.
