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.


Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management bulked up on a couple of stocks on Monday when the broader market staged a rebound amid hopes of seeing tame June inflation data.

Splurging On TSMC: Ark, through its Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (CBOE: ARKQ) picked up 32,896 shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM). The purchase is valued at $3.28 million at Monday's closing price of $99.77.

Taiwan-based TSMC is the world's biggest foundry and it is a major supplier to semiconductor and consumer electronics companies. The company reported Monday better-than-expected second-quarter sales, thanks to demand from AI tech companies.

Ark began a selling spree of TSMC in January 2021, coinciding with the Chinese clampdown on big tech stocks. The selling continued through late April 2021 and for a while Ark did not trade in TSMC. The firm resumed Ark buying in mid-June this year and has since then accumulated 175,828 shares.

The firm also bought 169,682 shares of Adaptive Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADPT).
