If you truly believe this leverage will force the company in to bankruptcy, you should short Hostess stock (TWNK). It's currently trading at ~$12.50 per share.

If you truly believe this leverage will force the company in to bankruptcy, you should short Hostess stock (TWNK). It's currently trading at ~$12.50 per share. Furthermore, if you believe it is possible to save a distressed company like Hostess and generate superior returns without dividend recapitalization, perhaps you should start a competing private equity firm.

I am keeping an eye on them and considering put options. I am expecting a peak and crash within five years, but timing these things is risky.

  The market can act irrationally longer than you can stay solvent. Put options are "safer" than shorting but they cost more.
