Actually, a whole chain of them or there franchises, just went under!
Link, please?
Not that I don't believe you, but while their stock HAS taken a hit, that's because of several factors--not the least of which is sector-wide decline in people eating meals out. When folks have less money, they eat out less, doubly so when a majority of these places are centered in shopping malls, etc.
Even the Motley Fool thinks they took an unfair hit:
LINKQuality casual dining: This isn't a stock. It's a niche. Load up on the battered stars of casual dining, such as Cheesecake Factory (Nasdaq: CAKE), P.F. Chang's (Nasdaq: PFCB), and California Pizza Kitchen (Nasdaq: CPKI). If the concepts had wait times to get seated on weekend evenings before the economy tanked, they will be the first to bounce back. This won't happen overnight, of course. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because it will give the industry time to shake out more of the weaker casual-dining players. By the time the rubble settles, the popular chains will be able to score great lease terms on vacant units and hit the market with fewer competitors nearby. This is only a suggestion for patient investors, since the downdraft may last for some time.
So really, before you go dishing out BS's for something of which you know little to nothing, and knowing what I do of you, I'd venture to guess you don't eat there much. If it goes under, it goes under, and shouldn't get a bailout from ANY government entity. Did the government give bailouts to buggy makers when the automobile came along? To folks who made only 8-track players when the cassette was invented, or ditto when Sony developed the CD?
Government is NOT, repeat NOT, in the business of business. At least not the last time I looked. And every time it has tried in our history, it has been a miserable failure. That fact isn't going to change.
