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.


  • Harley-Davidson Inc (NYSE:HOG) reported third-quarter FY22 consolidated revenue growth of 21% year-on-year to $1.65 billion. 
  • Revenue from the Motorcycles and Related Products segment (HDMC) grew 24% to $1.44 billion, beating the consensus of $1.37 billion.
  • The increase in HDMC revenue was driven by a strong recovery in global motorcycle shipments after being adversely impacted by an unexpected production suspension in Q2.

  • Harley-Davidson generated $575 million in cash from operating activities year-to-date. It held cash and equivalents of $2.04 billion as of September 25, 2022.
