Best Buy (BBY) is scheduled to announce earnings tomorrow. Rather than exit our shares, I am recommending we sell a call to generate income and then use that income to buy a protective put to hedge our downside risk.
Note that this trade is only for members who already own shares of BBY from a previous position.
