Open Interest Against March 21st 2025 Option Contracts

ViaSat option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in ViaSat's lending market. For example, when ViaSat'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 ViaSat, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting ViaSat stock over its option's life.

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

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

ViaSat Inc In The Money Call Balance

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

In addition, it helps ViaSat Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Rule 16 of the current ViaSat contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that ViaSat Inc will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0981% per day over the life of the 2025-03-21 option contract. With ViaSat trading at USD 9.24, that is roughly USD 0.009067. If you think that the market is fully incorporating ViaSat's daily price movement you should consider buying ViaSat Inc options at the current volatility level of 1.57%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing ViaSat 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" ViaSat calls. Remember, the seller must deliver ViaSat Inc stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
