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.
Despite releasing quarterly earnings and revenue results which were above Wall Street consensus estimates, VMware (NYSE: VMW) was trading sharply lower in Monday's after-hours session. Shares of the virtualization and cloud computing company were down around 13 percent to $85.53. Palo Alto, California-based VMware reported fourth-quarter net income of $205.8 million or $0.47 per share, compared to $200.4 million or $0.46 per share, in last year's corresponding quarter. On an adjusted basis, which is comparable to analysts' consensus, the company reported net income of $349.3 million or $0.81 per share, up from $286.3 million or $0.62 per share, last year. This beat analysts' consensus EPS estimates of $0.78 by three cents. Revenues for the period were also strongly higher. Sales at VMware grew 22 percent to $1.29 billion from $1.06 billion last year. This came in slightly ahead of consensus Street estimates of $1.28 billion. Although VMware exceeded both earnings and revenue estimates, investors were clearly looking for more growth from the richly-valued company. The stock traded at a trailing P/E of 57.50 and a forward P/E above 30 prior to the after-hours decline. In light of VMW's premium valuation and growth stock status, Wall Street was looking for quarterly numbers that were significantly above consensus.
