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.


  • Yesterday, Fidelity National Information Services Inc (NYSE:FIS) reported better-than-expected Q1 2023 results, with revenue of $3.51 billion coming above consensus of $3.41 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.29, beating expectations of $1.20. 
  • Following Q1 results, Stephens & Co analyst Charles Nabhan upgraded the rating to Overweight from Equal-Weight, raising the price target to $75 from $70.  
  • The analyst is bullish on revenue acceleration across businesses in 2024 and expects lower-than-expected dis-synergies related to the business split with Worldpay.
