<Time to abandon your indicator> I'm not so sure about that!! If BBY ratchets down earnings expectation for the fourth quarter it could easily trade down to about 15. Shoot, I sold a nice stock called PD today just to get ready for this possible situation. I've got a basis on my two buys of around 20.25, so either way I'm covered!!!

Outer, surprised by yesterday's open? I don't understand. Did someone short and have an outstanding market order to cover at $25.00 which was filled? How did that happen? Aus

I've seen this happen many times before. They've shown this on CNBC several times, and each time they have never been able to explain it. The buy usually occurs on an alternate exchange like Island. Of course I knew it was bogus!!!

What does the peanut gallery think about this dire news about MSFT?? Sounds like MSFT wants to pay a heckuva lot less for a new deal. Maybe Best Buy should talk to AOL, or Juno!!!!

O. L. Microsoft rarely wears the dunce cap for making decisions like this. Another warning and that $15 figure is not far fetched........ Parker

Yup, and I saw on the news this evening a semi-truck that went through the wall of a Best Buy somewhere. Man, even the teamsters are against us!!!! When it rains, it pours!!

"To hire or not? Holiday dilemma for U.S. retailers" biz.yahoo.com Some advice to Best Buy....don't hire. The place is already overrun with annoying eager salespeople ready to tell me they are not commissioned. The more effort I place in not looking like I need help, the more they hunt me down. Maybe I look suspicious trying to duck them. If, by chance, I have a question, it's way over their level of expertise. Maybe they can issue shoppers like myself a "Don't Bother Me, I Know You're Not Commissioned" badge at the front door. I can go to CompUSA right down from Best Buy. Again rampant with sales people, but you have to hit them with a brick to get help...my kind of service. When sales pick up for the holidays, put Best Buy sales people, already on the today's payroll, on the registers. Buddy

Best Buy is a lousy stock and lousier company. Their sales people cannot sell a dead skunk. Almost 2 years ago, I bought a HP laptop from them with a 3-year service contract. Since then, it has been at the misnamed "service" center 4 times - over one month each period. In short, almost 20 percent of the time ... When I talk to their "service" people, they tell me not to take it "personal". I am not supposed to consider my own money and property "personal" !!! Whatever PR & Wall Street spinners say, Best Buy is going down ... six feet under. Given their "service" mentality, it is only a matter of time before it sings Chapter Eleven. CA

Hi Cody, I don't think chapter 11 is anywhere in the cards. Best Buy is a well managed company and will continue to do well sales wise. In an extended economic downturn profits would be hurt due to their debt level and low margin business, but I don't see that happening long term. Sorry about your laptop problem. Sounds like HP laptops aren't very reliable. I've had two Compaqs that I won't too happy with performance wise. One was returned for a refund, the current one is rittled with bad hard drive sectors. I wouldn't let Best Buy touch anything of mine in need of repair, unless they're shipping it back to the manufacturer which I'm sure wouldn't happen if it is out of the manufacturer's warranty period. Buddy

Received much better service - and prices - at CompUSA and Staples ... Cheaters such as Best Buy, always end up in the ditch.
