Lehman Brothers has filed bankruptcy and is being bought by another company., Barclay’s. Do I buy stock under Lehman’s or Barclay’s, the company who is buying them out? It was said that trading of Lehman shares were halted because of the decision to buy.

    The proceeds from asset sales will go to pay existing debt holders.

    The short answer is no. If the company is being purchased by another, the stock is invalid. It is junk. Avoid it like the plague.
