In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Akamai Technologies
Analyzing Akamai Technologies' in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Akamai Technologies regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Akamai Technologies' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Akamai Technologies' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Akamai Technologies' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Akamai Technologies lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Akamai Technologies' value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Akamai Technologies contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if Akamai Stock moves the wrong way.

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.
