Update - Sharper Image

Last week the Sharper Image SHRP (NASDAQ) (see blog) forced its CEO out, Steven Lightman, and replaced him with Robert Conway a founding member of retail turnaround firm Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co. Just a week later the company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. In a short statement, Sharper Image said it would continue to operate while it reorganizes the company.
