The financial crisis hurt the value of most stocks in the Wireless Communications industry, but with a closing share price of only $0.73 on October 6, Globalstar Inc. (GSAT) [Chart - News - Analysis] seems to have been hit especially hard.

Unfortunately for Globalstar Inc., trading below $1 per share means not only that investors have lost a lot of money but also that the stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ.

Here's how it typically works. If a stock trades below $1 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the exchange will begin the delisting process.

For a while during the height of the financial crisis, the NYSE and the NASDAQ suspended their requirement that a stock remain above $1 per share or face the possibility of being delisted. However, on August 3, both exchanges reinstituted this requirement.

Of course, companies are not completely at the mercy of the market when they are facing being delisted from a major stock exchange. One remedy available to management is a reverse stock split, which would instantly bring the price of the stock back up above $1 per share. Naturally, this isn't always a popular move, but neither is being delisted.
