BBY Earnings Play; Unbalanced Iron Condor W/ $0 Upside RiskBestBuy has been consolidating since the beginning of July. Earnings are due tomorrow before the opening, and our IV% is at 56%, so I am looking for a play here to collect a credit. Historically looking at BBY we can see usually see a slightly bullish move after earnings (EPS, which is usually beating estimates). Because of this, and being at the top of this range with our other indicators showing bullish momentum as indicated on the chart, I want upside protection, while I expect the range in BBY to continue through expiration this Friday. All that being said, and what is shown on the chart, I am selling for a $0.50-$0.55 credit the 25/29.5/34.5/35 Put/Put/Cal/Call. This means if we break out from here, not only will I likely be putting on another bullish trade to take advantage of the breakout, but I will still have a small (VERY small) profit. That however beats a loss. Ideally, we would like volatility to collapse and BBY to stay between $29.00 and $34.50, but anything above $29.00 would be acceptable.
