Six Flags stock hits record low

Shares of SIX is now trading below $1.00. They're 85 cents per share as of July 15.

Now's a time to pick up some shares, eh?

I would but i'm really scared to go anywhere near Six Flags right now. I don't see it getting any better anytime soon.

.85 is pretty tempting but i have a feeling it will never go back over 15 so i'll pass for now.

Thin ice, thin ice. A SFGADV fan site I went to yesterday really depressed me.

Junk bond status will probably happen really soon.

I hope though that they turn around soon.

I can't believe they haven't booted Shaprio over this. Although I think he has actually done a good job.

This just hasn't been a good week for the amusement park industry. From the Busch buyout to Six Flags' stock woes, there have just been numerous problems this week.

No, it will be "Here! Take some stock! It's worth less than your daily ticket price!"

WOW!!! It dropped again. I sure as heck wont be buying any of their stock.

I'd be suprised if it's not below 30 cents by friday.

Ok so i'm not all that into stocks and really no nothing about the system. What happens when a company's stock reaches 0?

well the different things that the stock price meanse are, 1. The cumulative cost of all the stocks is equal to the total value of the company (and nobody wants a company thats worth a value of $0) and 2. the company gets some profit of the buying/selling of stocks (which is the reason companies go public) and if the stock does go all the way down nobody will buy stock and six flags would lose income and probably end up declaring bankrupcy or go through huge management restructuring.
