Analyzing Royal Gold's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Royal Gold regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Royal Gold's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

Royal Gold In The Money Call Balance

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

Rule 16 of the current Royal contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Royal Gold will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0238% per day over the life of the 2025-04-17 option contract. With Royal Gold trading at USD 141.34, that is roughly USD 0.0336. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Royal Gold's daily price movement you should consider buying Royal Gold options at the current volatility level of 0.38%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Royal Gold 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" Royal calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Royal Gold stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of Royal Gold is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Royal that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Royal Gold's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Royal Gold's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Royal Gold's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Royal Gold's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Royal Gold's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Royal Gold is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Royal Gold's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
