Sell Best Buy (BBY)

Even after a 15%+ drop in share price today, I recommend to sell shares of BBY. 

Shares fell because of missed earnings expectations.  Usually I do not fret over short term stuff like missing earnings expectations, but this is different. This is not just a short term "hick-up", but rather a sign of a long term trend.  Expectations were missed because BBY is losing market share, and because it is having a hard time competing with other companies who are selling the same stuff for less (i.e. online retailers such as Amazon).

I can see the price of BBY falling to the mid twenties if this trend continues.

Consider buying some good stocks that have been beaten up lately like GMCR and EBIX.
