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.


  • According to Counterpoint's India Market Outlook, cumulative 5G smartphone shipments will cross the 100-million mark in Q2 2023 and exceed 4G shipments by the end of 2023. 
  • The study found 5G has been a driving force and will continue to push smartphone demand in 2023
  • India's smartphone shipments will likely witness a yearly decline in 2022 due to macroeconomic factors affecting consumer demand in the entry and budget segments. 
  • India's 5G smartphone shipments will likely grow 81% year-on-year in 2022, driven by their expanding presence in lower price bands (
  • The availability of cheaper 5G chipsets from Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM) and Media Tek Inc (OTC:MDTKF) has enabled OEMs to launch more 5G devices in the lower price segment. At the same time, the commercial launch of 5G services also drove demand.
  • India's telecom leader Reliance collaborated with Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGLGoogle to launch a budget 5G smartphone.
  • The Indian government aimed to push Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd (OTC:SSNLF) to prioritize software upgrades to support 5G in the country.
  • However, the component supply crisis, inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and other macroeconomic issues affected the growth by delaying 5G device launches in the budget segment. 
  • Though OEMs have brought more 5G devices for lower price bands, they dropped or downgraded vital features to reduce the impact of higher component costs.
  • The feature downgrade affected the consumer demand for 5G within this price tier. 
  • The limited availability of 5G networks has also impacted the demand.
  • Counterpoint expects these constraints to ease by the end of 2023, leading to the mass adoption of 5G. 
  • Better availability of networks in significant areas will also facilitate 5G smartphone growth in 2023, which is estimated to be 62% Y/Y.
  • Price Action: GOOG shares traded lower by 0.51% at $88.50 in the premarket on the last check Friday.
