The previous post was assuming that it goes to 0 but I'm
not really assuming that. Even in a worst-case bankruptcy scenario where the stock does eventually end up worthless, it often retains some value for a long time as the situation works itself out. E.g., IRID, where the handwriting was on the wall for a very long time yet the stock still traded above $5.

Also, I'm buying for the first time but I can imaging that if I'd been holding on the way down, I'd have that 'punched in the gut one too many times' feeling.

KKR couldn't figure out how to spinoff non-tobacco portion of RJR and gave up. If they couldn't do it, I doubt anyone will be successful at it.
