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.

Sterne Agee has upgraded Bank of the Ozarks Inc. (NASDAQ: OZRK) to Buy from Neutral, and set a price target of $35.Sterne Agee noted, "We are upgrading our rating to BUY from Neutral with a price target of $35 (14x 2014E, discounted by 10%), as we believe that OZRK will benefit from a weaker economic outlook, given its capacity to execute FDIC-assisted and live-bank deals. Our 2013E and 2014E EPS of $2.45 and $2.70, respectively, remain above consensus of $2.30 and $2.43. OZRK is our best special cash DVPS prospect, given its profitability and capital (ROA: ~2.1%, ROTE: 16.4%, TCE: 12.3%)."Bank of the Ozarks closed at $31 on Thursday.
