Best Buy Stock: Another Beautiful Day in the Corps... Or Is It?

Wake Up Hicks! Tariffs Are Dropping (Sort Of)

Alright listen up. I saw a report from some UBS guy Michael Lasser saying Best Buy's stock might actually *go up*. Seems the U.S. and China are playing nice for a little while lowering tariffs. Remember what Burke said about risk management? Well this is either that or another Weyland Yutani trick. Shares are down 15% this year but climbed 8% in May. Last Monday they surged 6% following news that the U.S. and China agreed to temporarily lower tariffs on each other from their highest levels. I still have nightmares about the last time I trusted corporate promises.

30% Tariff? More Like 30% Chance of Disaster!

Lasser seems to think even a 30% tariff on Chinese goods is 'manageable' for Best Buy. Manageable? Seriously? That's like saying a facehugger is 'manageable' with a pair of tweezers. Yeah you might get lucky but you're probably gonna have a bad time. He says even if the current tariff level of 30% on China remains in place that is still a workable situation that Best Buy can effectively navigate. I am telling you these guys are detached.

Inventory Control? More Like Controlled Demolition!

This analyst claims the lowered tariffs will help Best Buy control inventory and pricing. My experience tells me 'control' and 'large corporations' rarely belong in the same sentence. More like it should put the co. in a better position to control inventory flow and pricing of its products over the next few months. Makes no difference to me. I've seen enough 'controlled' situations turn into total clusterf***s to last a lifetime. Ask the folks at Hadley's Hope.

Trusting Analysts? That's How We Get Xenomorphs!

So the bottom line? Some analyst thinks Best Buy might be okay. Me? I'm sticking with my pulse rifle and motion tracker. Call me cynical but I've learned not to trust anyone especially anyone spouting corporate jargon. "While BBY's stock has rallied a bit in response to temporarily lowered tariffs on Chinese imports we still see a risk reward that's tilted to the upside." Remember what happened when we trusted Ash? Exactly.

Short Nasty and Brutal?

It's a short nasty and brutal time on the stock market. One wrong move and you're toast. So do your research trust your gut and maybe just maybe you'll come out alive. Otherwise it is game over man! Game over!

Final Word: Stay Frosty Investors!

Look I'm just a warrant officer. I give warnings not financial advice. But if I've learned anything it's that hope is a dangerous thing especially when corporations are involved. So watch those stocks keep your eyes peeled and STAY FROSTY!
