Now would be the best time to do it

If it doesn't do it on its own, one of 2 things will happen:

  1. They get bought out, which almost always results in a bump.
  2. The government bails them out, which is an even bigger bump.

I don't think government will let the company fold. The stock will go up not in the short term but over 10-15 years it will surely fly.

Having said than enron is still in the back of the mind.
