  • Hi, My name is Steve and Im with Options Trading
    Research, today were reviewing our recently
    published article

  • Unusual Options Activity in Best Buy BBY

6
  • As many of you know, unusual options activity can
    be a valuable indicator as to what traders are
    thinking, and more importantly, where these
    stocks are heading in the short-term.

7
  • This is something professional options traders
    pay a lot of attention to, and for good reason
    Unusual options activity can tip off big moves
    in a stock, either up or down.

8
  • So lets take a look at some interesting
    activity that caught our eye this week Best Buy
    BBY is the sole remaining large scale, brick and
    mortar electronics retailer in the US.

9
  • The company is worth about 11 billion and
    generates over 40 billion in sales each year.
    For a good description of the company, follow the
    link.

10
  • BBY is trading at 31.24, down 16 for the year.
    Thats 24 below the 52-week high, and 11 above
    the 52-week low.

11
  • So what does unusual options activity in BBY tell
    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.

15
  • Keep in mind, a put option makes money when the
    underlying stock goes down before its expiration
    date. To be more specific, traders bought over
    6,000 31 strike puts expiring on December 11th.

16
  • The average price paid for each contract was
    about 0.70. And, open interest shows this is
    clearly opening action.

  • As you can see, BBY has taken a sharp downturn in
    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.

20
  • This could be a bet that investors will punish
    large brick and mortar retailers with Black
    Friday sales way down compared to last year.
