The government can both let Intel fail and bail it out. It probably will.

Any bailout should happen post-bankruptcy. Shareholders and executives primarily receiving stock based compensation get wiped out, employees and the fabs get saved.

Then how are we supposed to pickup the stock when it's down 90% with a sure upswing? Institutions have been stocking up on cash for a while. Even the long-term Buffet-esque investors are timing the market right now. All the smart money is saving for the mean regression so they can pickup sweet deals.
