For example, when InTest's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on InTest, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting InTest stock over its option's life.

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on InTest

Analyzing InTest's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in InTest regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when InTest's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money InTest's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with InTest's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

inTest In The Money Call Balance

When InTest's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against inTest stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying InTest's 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 inTest 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.

Purchasing InTest 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" InTest calls. Remember, the seller must deliver inTest stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
