First Business Financial In The Money Call Balance

When First Business' strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against First Business Financial stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying First Business' options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on First Business Financial are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

It is estimated that an average options trader loses somewhere between 80% to 90% of the time.

With First Business trading at USD 45.95, that is roughly USD 0.019. If you think that the market is fully incorporating First Business' daily price movement you should consider buying First Business Financial options at the current volatility level of 0.66%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing First Business options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" First calls. Remember, the seller must deliver First Business Financial stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
