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.


  • Cassava Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:SAVAhas announced a mid-year update highlighting clinical development progress and providing guidance on upcoming data releases for simufilam and SavaDx.

  • Cassava Sciences will also present biomarker data from the open-label study.
  • In May 2021, Cassava Sciences initiated a Cognition Maintenance Study (CMS). Patients who previously completed at least one year of open-label treatment with simufilam qualify to enroll in the CMS.
