Applied Opt In The Money Call Balance

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

If you think that the market is fully incorporating Applied Opt's daily price movement you should consider buying Applied Opt options at the current volatility level of 1.33%.

Purchasing Applied Opt 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.
