27% profit every 20 days?

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.


  • Amazon.com Inc’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) May advertising rates surged 55% year-on-year to $1.16 per click, insinuating the sustainability of the e-commerce retailer’s rising profitability during the upcoming summer sale Prime Day holiday shopping season, Bloomberg reported.
  • Amazon’s advertising cost rose to over 30% of the product price, up from around 20% a year ago.
  • However, the ballooning ad rates could drive the regulatory initiative to charge higher taxes from Amazon and higher prices by the e-commerce platform merchants when they were already struggling with higher shipping costs and other inflationary pressures.
  • The pandemic-induced online shopping growth triggered greater advertising competition on Amazon.
  • EMarketer Inc estimated global shoppers to spend around $578 billion in 2021.
  • Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) and Clorox Co (NYSE:CLX) bring billion-dollar advertising budgets to Amazon to maintain their dominance on the online sales shift. 
  • EMarketer estimates Amazon’s U.S. advertising revenue to beat $20 billion in 2021 as it continues to win market share from digital advertising leader Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google.
  • Companies like Thrasio, Perch, and Branded have announced debt and investor funding of over $2 billion to buy and expand Amazon brands, with advertising a key tool for growth.
  • Amazon aggregator Elevate Brands CEO Ryan Gnesin endorses the retailer despite its high ad rates compared to Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and Google to capitalize on Amazon shoppers’ readiness to buy.
  • Price action: AMZN shares traded higher by 0.75% at $3,289.50 in the market session on the last check Wednesday.
