This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • Benzinga has featured looks at many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
  • Bullish calls included social media and video streaming giants this past week.
  • Bearish calls included another social media and a retail giant.

The bull run is more than nine years old, and yet the broad markets are near all-time highs again, while the earnings reporting season winds down. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrials ended the past week essentially flat, despite a midweek dip, and the Nasdaq managed to eke out a gain near 1.5 percent for the week.

As usual, Benzinga continues to feature looks at the prospects for many investors' favorite stocks. Here are just a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that may be worth another look.
