us?
12- Its the time of the year again where investors
are going to be heavily focused on retail sales.
Consumer spending is nowhere more apparent than
at retail (online and physical) stores heading
into the holidays.
13- As the last remaining big store electronics
chain, BBY does have something of advantage over
non-specialized stores. Still, many shoppers
prefer to save money and effort by purchasing
online.
14- An online giant like Amazon AMZN still has an
edge over an electronics specialist like BBY
which has a hard time competing on price. Heres
the deal This week, a large amount of puts
traded in BBY options.

underlying stock goes down before its expiration
date. To be more specific, traders bought over

about 0.70. And, open interest shows this is
clearly opening action. - Heres the chart of BBY

recent days. The share price has fallen well
below the 50-day moving average, and is nearing
the lows of the year.
19- The put buying suggests not only is there no
upside to look forward to now that December is
here, but also there could be even more downside
in the coming days.

large brick and mortar retailers with Black
Friday sales way down compared to last year.
