I am not smart enough to dig too deeply on the macro side. IMHO, as should be obvious, on the micro side I'm bullish on BBY. I've traded BBY multiple times, all to the plus side. Some were nothing more than short term scalps.
I'm underwater very slightly now, but I think BBY will be a winner this holiday season.
Like Mr. Senior, I've been wrong many, many times before. Might I add, I'm sure I will be in the future.

One I've avoided (so far) is TLB. Anyone with an opinion on this falling knife? Looks like poor product mix, lack of execution, estimates revised steeply downward, plus doesn't have the BV support of the likes of a DDS.

BBY - well, you gentlemen certainly do have interesting points. but I think I'll
stick with my short thesis.

As I said, let's revisit BBY again in detail after one or two quarters have passed by, and
we get to see a little more evidence of the consequences of this currency devaluation.

In the meantime, I want to go on the record with my BBY trades:

BBY - repurchased a position sold at higher prices at about 45.3$. Same store sales look great compared to the competition. BBY sure has headwinds but the execution in this tough environment is great.
