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.
Cigna Corporation (NYSE:CI) has reported Q1 FY23 sales of $46.52 billion, up 6% Y/Y, beating the consensus of $45.53 billion, reflecting strong contributions from Evernorth Health Services and Cigna Healthcare. Adjusted revenues increased by 5% Y/Y.
Cigna saw its medical cost ratio - or spending on claims as a percentage of premiums - fall to 81.3% from 81.5% due to higher premiums and lower COVID-19 costs.
