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.


  • Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:REGN) earned $9.77 per share for Q2 FY22, down 62% Y/Y, beating the $9.54 estimate. 
  • Sales decreased 44% to $2.85 billion, surpassing the analysts' consensus of $2.79 billion.
