Securities can be untradeable for a few reasons, including: The exchange has paused trading for it. It's been delisted from the major exchanges and trades in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, and only shows a trade option of Position close only. It's a foreign security, which we don't support.
The only thing delisting does is that the stock doesn't trade on whatever exchange it got delisted from. It would still exist and you would still own it. No one is going to pay you out. It would trade over the counter.
i) Reason 1 : There may be some companies listed on the exchange who have paid listing fees and adhering to listing regulations & norms, but still not traded on a day to day basis : this may be because there are no buyers nor sellers as of that date - willing to sell nor willing to buy.
Volatility and pending news are two of the most common reasons.

Trading can be halted in anticipation of a news announcement, to correct an order imbalance, as a result of a technical glitch, due to regulatory concerns or because the price of the security or an index has moved rapidly enough to trigger a halt based on exchange rules.

Delisted stocks will not be automatically removed/ liquidated from a user's account. The user can submit orders if the client wishes to remove or liquidate them. When a stock becomes delisted it will usually be quoted and traded over the counter (OTC).
If a stock becomes delisted, the liquidity drops immensely. In fact, they are considered illiquid. In many cases, they are untradeable on most brokerage platforms that don't support OTCBB or Pink Sheets trading.
If a company is delisted, you are still a shareholder, to the extent of a number of shares held. And yet, you cannot sell those shares on any exchange. However, you can sell it on the over-the-counter market. This means you can look for a buyer outside the stock exchange.

Stocks are more straightforward and can offer steady growth over long periods of time but also come with some risk.
A covered call is an options trading strategy that involves an investor holding a long position in an underlying asset, such as a stock, while simultaneously writing (selling) call options on the same asset. This approach aims to generate additional income from the premiums received by selling the call options.
Selling options can provide a cushion against losses due to the upfront premium received. This premium offsets some of the risk and can turn what would have been a losing position into a break-even or slightly profitable one.
Currently, if a company's stock falls below $1, it has 180 days to regain compliance with the minimum price requirement. If it fails to do so, the company can request an additional 180 days and, in some cases, appeal the delisting decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
