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.
Noteworthy points for this week:
Markets recovered but don't expect strong comment from the bulls.
- The Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) play last week was to sell iron condors and buy in the money spreads for premium arbitrage. Was a nice win for traders that took advantage.
- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) was a no touch and is still hated by the markets. And, it has not been able to reverse selling in one session. Sellers may lose confidence as the issue approaches the $505.00 level. That's where the company (and the likes of Icahn) defended its own stock on the last dip. So soon some credit put spreads should work for those paying close attention.
- Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN): The best earnings plays are after the earnings and not into them. Trying to guess which way the markets will react to earnings is a coin flip at best, regardless of company quarter performance. The spread went to max gain without a sweat.
- Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) showed some promise at the open only, but it couldn't hold and had another weak day. Keep an eye on a credit put spread.
- LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD): Ideal entry target was around$180.00. If it shows stability here, traders might want to take credit put spreads in the issue.
- Other tickers in this week's outlook: Mastercard (NYSE: MA), Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX), Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL), VMware (NYSE: VMW), Panera (NASDAQ: PNRA), Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG), BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), CF Industries (NYSE: CF).
