A premium for option or value consists of two components-time value and intrinsic value. Since the options are a sensitive time, time in a contract option demoted to zero as the expiration date is approaching. If an option is "In the Money" premium will reflect an intrinsic value is the actual value of the selection indicated by the difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying security.
A call option is labeled as "At the money" when the value of the underlying security and price strike feature is the same or very close. For example suppose trading XYZ $ 50.00 per share and 1 month $ 50 strike call trading at $ 2.00/contract. Remember that option premiums are in a basis per share and each contract represents 100 shares. In this example, the buyer has the right to call option to buy the shares at $ 50.00. To the shares of XYZ trading at $ 50.00 this option has no intrinsic value. With XYZ trading at $ 50.00 per share and call strike price 50, the premium for the option consists entirely of time value. If the value does not increase share within the timeframe 1 month price will depreciate and the option will expire worthless.
A call is referred to as "Out of the money when the stock falls below the strike price. For example, with shares of an underlying security trading at $ 45.00 per share, an XYZ call 1 month perhaps negotiate option with a strike 50 cents at 13.30. Buying the "call", the holder has the right to purchase shares of the underlying security to 50 dollars. Since the stock is currently trading at 45 dollars, this option is considered "Out of the money" and has no intrinsic value. With the price of a share to $ 45, $ 50 strike option consists entirely of time premium. As with the option At the money "If the share price does not rise above the strike price, the expiration, the option will expire worthless.
An option call says that "money" when the stock is greater than the value of the strike. If negotiation XYZ at 55 USD per share, a call to 50 strike and 1 month until end may have a premium of $ 5.50. In this case the buyer has the right to call its own shares at $ 50. Negotiated XYZ at 55 USD per share, the summoning "has a 5.00 intrinsic value. With one dollar 50 strike and XYZ trading at 55 USD $ 5.50, the premium may be broken down into two components. By subtracting the strike prices from the price of shares can identify that the option has inherent value of 5.00. We then remove the intrinsic value of the premium to determine the time value, which in this example is $ 0.50 cents.
A put option is referred to as "At the money" when the value of the underlying and option strike price is equal or close to the price. With XYZ trading at 50 dollars per share, 1 month, 50 strike put option can negotiate to $ 1.90 in this example, put the buyer has the right to sell the underlying shares to 50 dollars, however, since the share price is equal to the value of positioning strike there is no intrinsic value. option Price is 1.90 entirely time premium, which means that, if the share does not drop below the strike price of the installation, the option will expire worthless.
A put option is considered "Out of the money" when the share price of the underlying is higher than the strike. With XYZ trading at $ 55.00 per share, the XYZ, perhaps negotiate 1 month put option with a strike price of $ 50 to 25 cents. In this case, put the buyer has the right to sell shares of XYZ at $ 50, however, since the shares still traded at 55 USD put option has no intrinsic value. The value of the shares priced at $ 55 and a strike 50 25 cent put premium is entirely time value. If the share price remains above $ 50 put option will expire worthless
A put option is described as "money" when the value of the underlying share is less than the value of the strike. By XYZ at 45 dollars per share 50 strike put option with 1 month until expired may negotiate to $ 5.40. Put the buyer has the right to sell the underlying shares at $ 50.00, although trading XYZ at $ 45.00. Determine the intrinsic value of options put by subtracting the value of the share of the value of the strike. In this example, a $ 50 strike minus one share value 45 dollars reflects an intrinsic value of 5.00 5.40 premium may be broken down into two parts. After deducting the 5.00 intrinsic value, we then determine that time value component of the option premium is 40 cents if the share price remains the same, the item price will depreciate to zero leaving only its intrinsic value.
As with the option "call" means a place means money "will engage automatically if it has an intrinsic or real value on expiration. What option should use will depend on the objectives of the trader or investor. Each category has some favoured options and drawbacks "At the money" option will begin to reflect an intrinsic value when the underlying starts moving in the direction of expected. These options tend to be the most liquid and the disadvantage is that these options are the most expensive in terms of time value.
So how do you pick the right choice? "Out of the money options require a minimum amount of capital and provide an investor or trader with the largest amount of leverage. However, a larger movement in the underlying it is necessary to realize inherent value. As a result, the time component of the premium will eat into much faster and therefore "Out of the money options have a greater chance of expiring worthless. An option "In the Money" will be more expensive, because the intrinsic value is added to the value of the premium. As an option In the Money "is more expensive the buyer option is less leveraged position however has lessened the impact of amortization. The disadvantage of option "In the money" is that it requires more capital up front for the purchase and you can lose the intrinsic value very quickly with an adverse movement in the underlying. When the intrinsic value disappears, will accelerate the depreciation time.
