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.


  • Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:MRNA) has initiated a Phase 1/2 study and dosed the first patient with mRNA1010, its quadrivalent vaccine for seasonal flu.
  • The candidate is designed to target lineup lineages that include influenza A H1N1, H3N2, and influenza B Yamagata and Victoria.
  • The 180-subject study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of mRNA-1010.
  • Piper Sandler analyst Edward Tenthoff reiterates an Overweight rating on Moderna with a $246 price target after initiating a Phase 1 study of mRNA-1010. 
  • Moderna could "revolutionize" the seasonal flu vaccine market where today's protection rates are only 40%-60%, Tenthoff writes in a research note. 
  • Ultimately Moderna envisions developing a respiratory vaccine that protects against seasonal flu, Covid, and respiratory syncytial virus, says the analyst.
  • Price Action: MRNA shares are down 4.95% at $221.80 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
