In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Agenus
Analyzing Agenus' in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Agenus regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Agenus' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Agenus' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Agenus' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Agenus lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Agenus' value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Agenus contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.
