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.


Stifel Nicolaus raises its price target on Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) from $52 to $54 as it reiterates its Buy rating on shares. Stifel Nicolaus says, "Agilent reported F2Q12 (April) results with revenue and pro forma EPS bothcoming in ahead of the high end of guidance, our estimate, and consensus. Despite the better than anticipated F2Q12 revenue and earnings, management provided generally in-line guidance (slight revenue upside) and is largely maintaining its FY12 revenue and EPS outlook (outside of a lower tax rate) given ongoing macroeconomic concerns. We expect the full year outlook is likely to prove conservative with Agilent continuing to crisply execute, clearly gaining share in its core Electronic Measurement market and performing much better in Chemical Analysis, with its pharmaceutical business increasing 4% y/y relative to challenged results from peers."A closed at $38.90 on Monday.
