Tim, that's right. It takes extraordinary circumstances for the price not to decline. Otherwise, as someone already pointed out, why not just keep doubling away? :)

Tim, 1 - If its widely seen that the additional money is needed to keep the company going under (in which case you might not lower the stock price, but a company facing going under would already have a very low stock price). Another factor, aside from the benefit to the company (and S holder value) of raised cash is, anticipation in the market in the form of Lay-offs as referred to by justaview. Infers that short interest is raising. So the new shares will be absorbed by the shorties. I suspect convertible bonds rather than shares straight out. Hector took care of the employees back around Q4 05 IIRC. Recently, he has reloaded on options, setting up for the next cycle, if so it goes. .
