UPDATE: J.P. Morgan Downgrades MDC Holdings; Lowers PT


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.


According to a research report published earlier today, J.P. Morgan has downgraded MDC Holdings (NYSE: MDC) from Neutral to Underweight, and has lowered PT from $22 to $20.In the report, J.P. Morgan commented, “ We are downgrading MDC Holdings – which we note has had the second best YTD performance in our universe, up 42% vs. our sector average of 26% (S&P: +11%) – to Underweight from Neutral, driven by our concerns regarding the company's above average exposure to a new FHA rule, which negatively impacts the first-time homebuyer segment. Specifically, we believe the FHA's new rule disqualifying borrowers with $1,000 or more in outstanding collections disproportionately impacts the more credit-challenged first-time homebuyer, which represents 50% of MDC's sales vs. our universe average of 42%, and in turn could negatively impact 15-20% of MDC's overall business, which is at the higher end of our universe range of 10-20%.”MDC Holdings closed yesterday at $25.01.
