A key reason that the Analysts also got more postiive is the announcement by Lance Armstrong that Radio Shack will be his team sponsor and main charity partner for LiveStrong.  That really raises thier profile and also has the potetntial of getting their name into Euro markets.

At least they stopped asking for my address and zip code when I make a purchase. It was getting hard to make stuff up, even if I paid cash!

It's Called PUMP AND DUMP by a few that have friends that want to get rid of RS.,

Or make news for a day or two and then blow their horn,saying see I told you so?

I consider that about 3-5% of what analyst' tout as worth-while listening; Therefore if you take 100 of the experts and blow out the chaff, you might be able to get a concensus that is meaningful...only MY OPINION, but it works for us.

The majority of these pundits come to the table way too late, to be of any benefit to the common investor; And the back paddling can be ferocious sometimes, to just save face....But then again, their are a few(damn few ) that I have great respect for.

I do not understand why people invest in companies that can cut overhead but cannot increase sales.It is no longer the Shack that made "the shack".They are replacing knowledgeable senior sales people and managers with lower paid people that don't even know what the electronic parts do. They have basically become a wireless phone distributor. This cannot last for long, you can only cut cost so much. When your salespeople know less than the walmart guy why shop there? They charge more for less.
