27% profits every 20 days?

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.


  • United Airlines Holdings Inc's (NASDAQ:UAL) Chicago-based pilot, Neil Swindells, elected to lead the United Airlines pilots' union, has resigned after a series of his recent online posts sparked an outcry.
  • Swindells apologized "to anyone I have offended."
  • In his resignation note, he said, "while many of these things have been taken completely out of context and publicly weaponized against me."
  • Screenshots of some of Swindells posts were shared with CNBC. Neil Swindells was narrowly elected to lead the union of more than 14,000 pilots.

  • In September, after a partnership with Emirates, Swindells wrote on a private message board for pilots: "And I'm sure Emirates had nothing to do with the Emirates male caption being flanked" by a United "Female First Officer."
  • He wrote that the Washington Dulles International Airport event showed Emirates' "Dominance of the codeshare while giving UNITED their desired DEI money shot!!!"
  • DEI is a commonly used shorthand for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Code-sharing in the aviation industry is when airlines partner to market each other's flights.
  • Price Action: UAL shares are up 0.29% at $38.39 during the premarket session on the last check Friday.
