Best Buy Faces Questionable Future, Reports Leading Financial Newsletter Profit Confidential

According to Sasha Cekerevac, contributor toProfit Confidential, the future is looking increasingly bleak for one of the largest electronic retailers in the world: Best Buy Co., Inc. Online retailers already pose a hurdle for stores. However, this hurdle is growing, as consumers prefer to touch the product in the store but purchase the goods at home.

In the article “What’s the Future for Best Buy?,” Cekerevac notes that a great example of these difficulties is when Best Buy’s direct competition, Circuit City, filed for bankruptcy; yet Best Buy was still unable to significantly increase corporate earnings.

“Other large retailers like Borders Group Inc. have also filed bankruptcy due to the onslaught of online retail,” observes Cekerevac.

While Best Buy is announcing the closure of 50 stores and building smaller-format operations, Cekerevac believes it’s not enough of a shift to dramatically impact corporate earnings.

Cekerevac warns not buy the stock at this point. He believes more positive technical indications are needed, as well as a solid plan that can ensure this business will be viable for the future.

“No one can perfectly catch the ultimate top or bottom in a stock, but you can lose a lot of money trying,” says Cekerevac. “Wait for management to be finalized and investor sentiment to start to turn before making a bullish call.”

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $300 an ounce. In 2006, it “begged” its readers to get out of the housing market…before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.
