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.


Monness Crespi Hardt downgraded Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) from Buy to Neutral and removed its $13 price target.Monness Crespi Hardt noted, "Bloomberg reported that Dell is in discussions with at least two private equity shops regarding a potential LBO. … The sheer size of the LBO may prove prohibitive given Dell's $21.4 bln market cap as of the close and a potential valuation of $22.7 bln (or $13/sh) applying a 20% standard premium to Friday's close. Michael Dell owns 15.7% of the company aiding the financing of a 15% or greater equity investment component. That being said, as of the end of October the company had a very healthy balance sheet with $14 bln in cash and investments (with 10-20% of cash in the U.S.) versus only $ 9 bln in ST and LT debt with a LT debt/capital ratio of only 34%, which would allow for significant debt financing."Dell closed at $12.29 on Monday.
