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.
Roughly a month after shares crashed in response to a bearish note from Goldman Sachs, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is on track to close at its highest level since so-called “tech wreck Friday” after five consecutive daily gains.
Back on June 9, Goldman Sachs analyst Robert Boroujerdi said he sees a “valuation air pocket” in the market driven by what he calls the five FAAMG stocks: Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).
Boroujerdi’s comparisons between the performances of the FAAMG stocks and the high-flyers of the Dot Com Bubble certainly struck a chord with investors, and Apple’s stock plummeted from above $155 to as low as $142.51 within two days. Since that time, Apple has traded mostly sideways between $142 and $148.

In that time, good news for Apple investors has been hard to come by. On June 12, Mizuho downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral and dropped its price target from $160 to $150.
On Wednesday, Bank of America reported that the highly-anticipated iPhone 8 may be delayed by at least three weeks after analysts met with suppliers in Asia.
However, the recent bullish momentum in the stock may be a sign that investors have short memories when it comes to Apple. With the stock back above the $148 level, it has only its 50-day simple moving average at $149.25 to clear to be back on the track to $155.
Despite Apple’s rough June, the stock is still up 27.7 percent in 2017.
