RadioShack Corp.'s (NYSE: RSH) past problems are still lingering for the oddball retailer, but give it some credit (I think). The retailer's latest quarter showed profit growth amid changes like closing stores and selling more popular electronics items. With new leader Julian Day at the helm, under-performing stores are seeing the axe while a focus on personal electronics and wireless sales are helping the company stay afloat. I have to admit, many recent visits to the retailer have resulted in rabid-dog sales associates pushing new cellphones and contracts faster than I can say no. I hope RadioShack is not relying solely on wireless sales to prop up sales and profits, but that is the impression I've had lately.
