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.
Volt Information Sciences (AMEX:VOLT) posted a 154.69% decrease in earnings from Q1. Sales, however, increased by 1.9% over the previous quarter to $222.09 million. Despite the increase in sales this quarter, the decrease in earnings may suggest Volt Information Sciences is not utilizing their capital as effectively as possible. Volt Information Sciences collected $217.96 million in revenue during Q1, but reported earnings showed a $1.73 million loss.

Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q2, Volt Information Sciences posted an ROCE of 0.03%.
Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future.
ROCE is an important metric for the comparison of similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows Volt Information Sciences is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and earnings per share growth.
In Volt Information Sciences's case, the positive ROCE ratio will be something investors pay attention to before making long-term financial decisions.
