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 initiates its coverage on Western Asset Mortgage Capital (NYSE: WMC) with a Buy rating and a price target of $22. Stifel Nicolaus notes, "We like the pure agency MBS focus, the valuation discount (6%) to book value, and the projected dividend yield (14% in 2H12+) of WMC. We also view the active portfolio management strategy and expected emphasis on the 30-year fixed market providing some differentiation from peers. …While most of its peers tend toward buy and hold portfolio strategies, WMC has indicated it anticipates a more active approach to adjusting portfolio composition as opportunities change."WMC closed at $18.52 on Friday.
