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.


  • TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) and Iraq have confirmed to move forward with the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP).
  • The Iraqi Government and TotalEnergies have agreed on a 30% stake for the Basrah Oil Company (BOC) in the GGIP. Furthermore, in agreement with the Iraqi Government, TotalEnergies has invited QatarEnergy to take a 25% stake in the GGIP.
  • Three sources told Reuters that Iraq has agreed to lower its share to 30% from 40% in the project, which was a key sticking point as TotalEnergies wants a majority stake.
  • An industry source said that the agreement to lower the share to 30% was struck after meetings in Baghdad over the past few days.
  • The consortium will thus be composed of TotalEnergies (45%), Basrah Oil Company (30%), and QatarEnergy (25%).
  • Signed in September 2021, the GGIP mainly aims to enhance the development of Iraq’s natural resources to improve the country’s electricity supply.
  • TotalEnergies and its partners will invest approximately $10 billion.
  • Citing a few analysts, Wall Street Journal writes that estimated spending could eventually exceed $20 billion through the project’s expected 25-year life.
  • In agreement with Iraqi authorities, TotalEnergies will invite the Saudi company ACWA Power to join this solar project.
  • The project includes constructing a natural gas gathering network to supply local power stations, building a large-scale seawater treatment facility to boost output from other fields using water injection, and a solar power plant in the Basrah region.
  • TotalEnergies will develop a 1 GW solar power plant to supply electricity to the Basrah regional grid. 
  • Price Action: TTE shares are up 0.89% at $62.63 on the last check Wednesday.
