Best Buy BBY has a 14.45 Billion Mkt Cap. Revenues are FLAT over the past few years:, hovering around 50 Billion. Earnings are just over $1 billion over 4 years thru 11/2/13, which is a measly 2% return on investment per year had you purchased the entire company 4 years ago for 14B.
There are 349 million shares outstanding and a short position at Jan 31 was 34.7 million shares or 10% of the shares. Now it is down to 15.8 million shares. Even though the stock trades heavily, 19 million shares have been covered at a huge loss and provided at least some of the fuel for the rally.
There is a topping pattern taking place and it may take longer to form but I am willing to take a chance, even ahead of the holiday season. Any short-term weakness though and I will be covering.
$42.27 last, target $38 initially. Stop $45.50 initially.
Cheers.

This is a decent time to cover BBY short position on this break of support and the drop into the gap. I will not go long but instead will wait for a rally back up to re-short.
Cheers.

This is tracking almost identical to the forecast. I'm considering what to do at this level.

So have you readjusted your stops and targets based on the chart or is it all the same still?

Unless it breaks the $42.90-43.00 then it can test $44 and break that as well. We'll see what happens!
