Introduction Compact

The UPS strike is creating terrible consequences for certain businesses(Small and Large) each day that it continues. If it continues for much longer they can/will get hit hard. Which companies do you think will suffer the most because of the stike and therefore be a good opportunity to buy option puts on them. Do you know that they are suffering because of personal contact or from other sources(TV, paper.....).
