Hopefully they can manage something that keeps the stocks from falling even further. It ends up in a very vicious circle when stockholders and investors start panicking and fleeing like rats on a sinking ship.
I think what makes me most edgy about this is the fact that all Sony needs is just one thing. Just one. That particular item could be just about anything, but all it needs to be is a hint of positive news that makes people say, "Oh, hm, that's interesting. Tell me more." When someone has an illness, they have surgery. When they're bleeding out (similar to the current situation), it becomes triage. I know that people don't seem to believe Kaz when he starts talking about making grim choices and rebooting things to make them profitable again, but...they have a lot of assets. A LOT of them. They don't have one single impressive item in R&D or somewhere else they could show off that makes people want to stick around and see what happens? That's all it would take right now. A glimmer of hope to folks who think that Sony isn't going to offer them any decent returns in the near future. That should be enough to stop a complete free fall into, "Oh my god, we're so screwed," territory, I'd wager.
To me, that lack of that shred of positive news being bandied about feels slightly more grim than stock drops and words of belt tightening.
