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.
Broadcom Ltd (NASDAQ: AVGO) reported its first quarterly financial results as a combined entity with Avago on Thursday afternoon. Second quarter EPS of $2.53 and revenue of $3.56 billion beat the Street’s consensus by $0.15 and $10 million, respectively.

Following the earnings report, MKM Partners’ Executive Director Ian Ing reiterated a Buy rating and $188 12-month price target on the stock, pointing out he especially liked “Diversification, Synergies, and a 40% OM Model Receptive to More M&A.”
The expert explained that the EPS beat was largely driven by faster-than-expected operating synergies between the two companies, and robust product cycles in the leading Wired Infrastructure segment, which accounted for 58 percent of total revenue – including Tomahawk switching and Jericho routing.
Management guided for third quarter revenue of $3.75 billion (+/- $75 million), which compared to expectations for $3.71 billion. As per MKM’s note, not only revenue guidance, but also gross margin and opex guidance were “comfortably above expectations.” Moreover, Ing noted, the guidance for the wireless segment “up mid-20s suggests an end to inventory digestion (rather than order pull-ins) and a resumption of normal seasonal smartphone builds and accelerating growth into the October quarter.”
Broadcom is now reaping the benefits of diversification, an ongoing $750 million per year synergy achievement by the end of fiscal 2018, “and an efficient 40%+ operating profit model that benefits from future M&A,” the report concluded.
Shares of Broadcom were trading up more than 5 percent on Friday afternoon.
