RadioShack Corp (RSH)

Radio Shack or "The Shack" has increased their profit the Circuit City way by forcing out higher paid employees in lieu of unknowledgable lower priced employees. People who are not very good with electronics go to Radio Shack for help, and those that know a lot do not pay $50 for a cable that costs $3 on monoprice.com. So they are killing their core business.

RadioShack Corporation (RadioShack) is primarily engaged in the retail sale of consumer electronics goods and services through its RadioShack store chain and non-RadioShack branded kiosk operations. As of December 31, 2008, the Company operated 4,453 Company-operated stores under the RadioShack brand located throughout the United States, as well as in Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. As of December 31, 2008, it operated 688 kiosks located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. In December 2008, the Company acquired the remaining interest (slightly more than 50%) of its Mexican joint venture, RadioShack de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., with Grupo Gigante, S.A.B. de C.V.

Big move up today when the rest of the market was losing. I am betting that some of this was not justified and that this stock will move down as the market tries to recover some ground.
