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.


In a report published Friday, Jefferies analyst Jeffrey Holford downgraded Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) from Buy to Hold, and lowered the price target from $53.00 to $49.00.

In the report, Jefferies noted, “Rising rate expectations had the expected impact on the sector, which has been driven by income investors over the past two years. Q2'13 earnings look tough in this context and we expect most companies to see some pressure. Novartis, Sanofi, Roche, Abbott, AbbVie and Bayer remain high conviction Buy ideas. We have downgraded Bristol-Myers and Pfizer to Hold in this report as part of our update today.”

Bristol-Myers Squibb closed on Thursday at $46.03.
