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.
We're sort of betting against it now (through Friday) but – WOW! – what a rally! We were super-impressed with yesterday's action as our indexes stayed aloft despite the Dollar poking over the 80.50 line and, this morning, the strong Dollar knocked the Yen down (up) to 90.40 and now the Nikkei jumped 2% to 11,440 and – WOW! – that is high – up 33% since mid-November.
