....Six Flags. (SIX; about 30,000 employees; stock down 84%). This theme-park operator has been losing money for several years, and selling off properties to try to pay down debt and get back into the black. But the ride may end prematurely.

This doesn't suprise me but seeing sbarro krispy kreme and blockbuster on that list realy does........and if chrysler goes out..........dayton and detroit are dead.......

Im shocked Six is hanging on like they have. I see them much smaller in 2010 and on.

Funny but my overall observation is that a lot of these companies over expaneded in the 90's and are paying for it now.
