At the Right Price BBY Might Live Up to Its Name

Market Shadows jumped in while the BBY selling frenzy was at its height. Selling puts mitigates the risk of 'calling the bottom'.

@ $19.35: BBY Might Be a Best Buy Again

Best Buy (BBY) opened down more than 29%. Market Shadows jumped in quickly while panic was in the air. Our Virtual Put Writing Portfolio sold four contracts of BBY's Jan. 2016, $25 puts for a premium of $5.65 per share.

Our maximum gain becomes 100% of the $2,260 we collected. We will realize that gain in full if BBY merely remains above $25 through the option’s Jan. 15, 2016 expiration date.

 BBY quote with options

We must stand ready to purchase 400 shares at a net price of just $19.35 ($25 strike price - $5.65 put premium).
