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.


  • Florida has reached more than $878 million in settlements with CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) and three drug companies to resolve claims and avert a trial next month over their roles in fueling an opioid epidemic.
  • CVS will shell out $484 million, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NYSE:TEVA) will pay $194.8 million, Abbvie Inc's (NYSE:ABBV) Allergan unit will pay $134.2 million, and Endo International Plc (NASDAQ:ENDP) will pay $65 million, Florida's attorney general Ashley Moody said in a statement.
  • Most of the money will be spent on opioid abatement. Teva will also provide $84 million of its generic Narcan nasal spray, which can temporarily reverse the effects of opioid overdoses.
