Die letzten Zahlen waren zwar mies, aber so billig hat die Aktie nicht verdient. Haben die in den Staaten wohl gestern auch so gesehen, Mehr als 2,5 Millionen gehandelt.
Ich denke, bis 4 Dollar ist auf jeden Fall noch Luft, auch charttechnisch, und dann muss man mal neue Fakten abwarten.
Komplett krachen geht die Firma sicher nicht, erst im Juni haben Vorstände nachgekauft. (Obwohl das wohl eindeutig zu früh war)

Das spült vielleicht ein wenig frisches Geld in die Kassen. Für allen Schulden reicht das aber sicher nicht. Aber 'ne nette Idee, für Umsatz zu sorgen.


The Sharper Image to resume redemption of gift cards

San Francisco, CA – After a brief suspension, Sharper Image Corporation plans to immediately resume redemption of all its customers' Gift Cards, Reward Cards, Gift Certificates and Merchandise Certificates for their full value as follows after Bankruptcy Court approval.

All Gift Cards, etc., will be honored for their full value with two conditions – (1) they must be redeemed in full in one transaction; and (2) customers must purchase an item that costs double the value of the gift certificate or merchandise certificate. For example, if a customer holds a $25 Gift Certificate, the customer will get the full value of the $25 Gift Certificate as long as the customer purchases at least $50 worth of goods. Partial redemptions will not be honored at this time. This is a purely voluntary program. Customers who do not wish to redeem their cards on this basis can retain them for future use, as Sharper Image is working diligently to be able to honor the cards without condition in the future.

This updated policy will apply to all Gift Cards, Reward Cards, Gift Certificates and Merchandise Certificates issued prior to the Company's petition for protection under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (February 19, 2008).

“We have worked very hard to address the concerns of our customers, and to dispel rumors in the media that Sharper Image's gift cards are worthless. That is simply not true,” said Robert Conway, Chief Executive Officer of The Sharper Image. He also said that Sharper Image “certainly appreciates our customers' continued support during this difficult period. While not a complete solution, it does provide immediate satisfaction to customers on a voluntary basis. We are extremely gratified that our Company will now be able to honor the full value of all pre-Chapter 11 Gift Cards, Reward Cards and Merchandise Certificates. I sincerely hope the vast majority of customers will feel this is a fair resolution to the difficult problem and we look forward to serving our customers well today and for many years to come.”
