UPDATE: Stifel Nicolaus Initiates Life Time Fitness with Hold on Near-Term Price Movement


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 initiated its coverage on Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM) with a Hold rating given the stock's recent outperformance, which limits upside in the near term. Stifel Nicolaus commented, "While there are several compelling components to the LTM story, we believe current valuation supports our Hold rating. … Over the past month, shares of LTM have widely outperformed the broader market, increasing 11% versus the S&P 500's increase of 2%. Following the sharp move higher, we believe shares are fairly valued, trading at 15x FY13E EPS of $3.17 and in line with the 5-year average forward PE multiple. Even if we were to apply a 15x multiple to our $3.67 FY14E EPS, we would arrive at a fair value of $55, which only represents upside of 18%. In our opinion this is not enough upside to currently justify a Buy rating."Life Time Fitness closed at $46.61 on Tuesday.
