Actually its a valid point. Most bailouts wipe out the shareholders, so it is a practically guaranteed $0 stock value situation. Either the company gets a bailout that wipes out the shareholders, or it goes bankrupt. Given the domino effect, I'd bet money on the former (and, when you think about it, so has everyone who has put down a deposit...)
