It all depends on the terms of your proposal. The basic idea behind a proposal is that you are offering to repay a portion of your debts. The “portion” needs to be more than your crediotrs would receive if you filed for bankruptcy. If you filed for bankruptcy you’d lose the stocks so if you file a proposal you should be offering to pay your creditors sometihng to allow you to keep the stocks.
