You are in trouble only if you borrowed a large amount of money to buy the stock, then you are obliged to pay it back. If it was all your money, that's all you lose no more.

When a company acquires the assets of another does that include the stock as well?

I all depends upon the purchase contract which spells out the agreement between the two companies. In a strictly asset sale, the acquiring company will purchase some or all of the assets within a corporation, leaving the remaining assets in the original corporation. If there are no assets left, then the corporation is essentially a shell with no assets. In a strictly stock sale, the acquiring company will purchase some or all of the stock of the corporation. If a large company sells a division, the assets are usually sold to the buyer and no stock is transferred. If the acquiring company wants to run the purchased business in a separate entity, they may elect to purchase all of the stock. Typically buyers want to sell the stock of a corporation, and sellers want to purchase the assets for past legal liability reasons.
