When a company declares bankruptcy, its stock still trades, though its ticker symbol changes. That's what's currently happening with J.C. Penney (JCPN.Q), the struggling department store chain that has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The news, however, is not good for investors who own shares of the company's stock. And while the company being rescued from bankruptcy helps a lot of people, that's not a reason for anyone to buy shares of J.C. Penney.
In a Chapter 11 filing, bondholders, unpaid creditors, lenders, and pretty much anyone or any institution the company owes money to gets consideration before the stockholders do. Usually, those stakeholders end up with more equity, and the company's stock either ceases to exist or the shares you own eventually come to represent a much smaller piece of the company.
The people who tout buying shares of bankrupt companies are day traders or speculators playing a dangerous game. They're treating the stock market like a casino (and they'll lose money in the end like anyone who has a system playing roulette or a "magical" method of beating slot machines).

C. Penney, with Goldman Sachs as the sole underwriter, announced plans to issue 84 million shares of its stock.
