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.
GE's Power Conversion business (NYSE: GE) is proving to be an ideal partnerfor builders and operators of drillships and semi-submersibles. In the last 12months, GE has won contracts valued at more than $600 million to providepropulsion systems with customers leading the pre-salt oilfield expansion offBrazil's east coast. GE's systems will power, propel, navigate, position andcontrol drillships and also power and control the drilling process itself.Today, GE is in the process of building systems for 22 of the 29 drillshipsfor the current phase of the Brazilian oil and gas exploration by Brazilianenergy corporation Petrobras.“Our advanced power generation, propulsion technology, drilling drives,dynamic positioning (DP) and automation and control systems are beingharnessed to improve today's marine and offshore processes with cleaner, moreproductive vessels,” says Paul English, GE's Power Conversion, marine businessleader.“Vessel builders are coming to GE because it has proven equipment and systems,it has considerable experience in supplying equipment for use in deep domains,it is a flexible engineering partner with very strong technical credentialsand has a record of supplying on time and within budget. One of our uniquespecialities is that we design and deliver complete integrated electrical andcontrol systems packages in house—our single-source approach significantlyrelieves shipbuilders of much of the technical and commercial risk and effortassociated with managing and coordinating multiple individual equipmentsuppliers.”The four most important contracts won by GE in recent months related to theBrazilian pre-salt oil and gas exploration venture by Brazilian energycorporation Petrobras, include: * Seven “Espadon 200” drillships to be built by Estaleiro Atlântico Sul (EAS) in Ipojuca, northeast Brazil will be supplied with electrical power generation, propulsion, drilling drives. DP and control systems from GE. * Ecovix-Engevix will use integrated electric power and propulsion, drilling drives, DP and controls packages from GE for three new GustoMSC PRD 12000 ultra-deepwater drillships it is building in Rio Grande, in the south of the country. * Enseada do Paraguaçu Shipyard will use a comprehensively integrated package of electric power, propulsion, drilling drives, DP and control systems from GE for six new ultra-deepwater drilling ships (also GustoMSC PRD 12000 design) it is building in Maragogipe, northeast Brazil. * Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd will use GE's thruster power, propulsion and drilling drive technology for six new, semisubmersible drilling rigs being built for Brazil's national oil company Petrobras. Keppel is a leading designer and builder of high-performance, mobile offshore rigs.Petrobras is searching for hydrocarbons up to 300 kilometers (km) off thecoast of Brazil, in rock formations up to 5 km below the seabed and in waterdepths of up to 2,000 meters. The pre-salt layer holds an estimated 10–16billion barrels of oil equivalent.Exploration and recovery of these reserves are expected to require theconstruction of around 40 new drilling vessels between now and 2020. TheBrazilian government is calling for local content to be used as much aspossible in these vessels.
