27% profits every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his options 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.


METALS: December gold futures closed down $1.40
an ounce at $1,617.00 today. Prices closed near
mid-range today. The market consolidated recent
more volatile price action today. The market was
supported by higher crude oil prices, but gains in
gold were limited by higher U.S. stock indexes.
Bears still have the slight overall near-term
technical advantage in gold. Serious near-term
technical damage has been inflicted recently.
Prices are in a steep three-week-old downtrend on
the daily bar chart. Bulls' next upside technical
objective is to produce a close above solid
technical resistance at $1,705.40. Bears' next
near-term downside price objective is closing

at today's high of $1,637.90 and then at $1,650.00.

4.5.

December silver futures closed up $0.261 an ounce
at $30.39 today. Prices closed near mid-range
today. Higher crude oil prices supported modest
buying interest in silver today. But serious near-
term and longer-term chart damage has been
inflicted recently. Prices are still in a six-week-
old downtrend on the daily bar chart. Silver bulls'
next upside price objective is producing a close
above strong technical resistance at this week's
high of $33.585 an ounce. The next downside price
