If everyone panicked(as in the case of MFS shares)and withdrew their money at once,they would more than likely not get as much as was originally invested as the money is invested elsewhere. Meanwhile investors will still receive interest on the whole amount of their investments until such times as some normality returns to current sentiment. In hind sight I am thinking perhaps MFS would have been better off, as would share holders, if the Trading Halt had of been called earlier. I think after todays announcement regarding the sale of Stella investors would be feeling a bit more secure. This is just my opinion, and I thank the few posters on the MFS threads who have remained reasonably positive. It has been a worry for a lot of people and the media has done a lot of unneccessary damage to the company. Seamisty
