Thanks for trying to stay on topic. This isn't a Marriots topic, its a Six Flags going out of Business topic.
To answer your question, the market is all about trends and feelings. Currently there is no confidence in Six Flags because its been failing for a long time in what used to be a good market for its product, and now that the economy is hurting thanks to rising fuel/food prices Six Flags is getting hurt even more. Maybe if they report some good profits at the end of the quarter that could help stock prices, but for every dollar Six Flags makes right now almost a quarter of it goes toward credit interest. That means nowhere.

Does anybody know what happens to the parks if they do file for bankruptcy? I know someone said that it depended on the chapter filed, but what are some of the possibilities?
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
There was a major mix up on the Yahoo finance page early Friday morning. Somehow it was showing as 41.40. I just bought 300 shares of it about two weeks ago when it was .97. I really wish that mistake was real
Seems it was going up steadily for most of this week, but after the announcement of the court date over the SFKK suit, it's been going down.
Once a stock price falls to only $1 its extremely difficult for that stock to re-cooperate, and in the eyes of the NYSE is pretty much kaput. The only stocks I can think of that make a full recovery are the ones that get large amounts of government money to bail them out (Washington Mutual for example, which ironically is now down big again). I cant think of any company that dropped to below $1 and actually made a full recovery without a window from the FED, and Six Flags isnt quite essential to the nations economy like the nations largest bank, Freddie Mac, or the entire airline industry. August 4th will be a huge day for Six Flags, if they report a positive cash flow then they should be fine, but if they come out and report another substantial loss thats big trouble. The stock cannot afford to plummet again or Six Flags will get kicked off the exchange, and people will start looking for answers, and European firms will start looking at some pretty dirt cheap theme park investments...
I just seen on the news earlier that SIX is considering filing bankruptcy protection....
Not good news, hope it still opens if this happens....Which parks do you think will disappear?? Even though I don't think SFGAm will be one of them IF Bankruptcy protection is filed....This brings up questions.
People buying things they can't afford is what put our economy to $^&% in the first place....So why is SIX doing the same (Unnecessary Spending) on new coaster for SFMM. and BB for us. I believe BB is kinda like a "last Resort" to get people coming to the park. Even though the "We can't afford" part was focused at people buying HOMES they can't afford.....It affects everyone!! Stupid Banks should not have given the mortgage to those people! Damn them!
If it does happen (Which is VERY Likely) I hope Cedar Fair buys it....but they aren't in any position to buy anyway.....So SFGAm's Attractions will be sold. Kinda like what happened to that other Six Flags park...anyone got the name of it?
Ugh, I hate this.

It is actually great news for everyone except stock holders and those owed money. This will allow them to shake off some debt, kept the parks open and improve the state of the company.
SF isn't going anywhere. They will just be able to get creditors off of their backs and restructure based on a court order (bankruptcy protection)
Even if SF decides to try and unload some more of their parks, SFGAm will not be on that list. It is one of their cash cows.
Heck, CF won't be buying anything because they are in the process of unloading a few parks themselves to reduce their debt (which by the way is just as bad as SF's)
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Six back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Chap 11 bankruptcy is just about the only thing that can save Six Flags, all it would do is restructure the debt and the company would restructure into a more profitable entity.
Either that or find 300 million people to each donate $1 to Six Flags
