In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Axsome Therapeutics

Analyzing Axsome Therapeutics' in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Axsome Therapeutics regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Axsome Therapeutics' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Axsome Therapeutics' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Axsome Therapeutics' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Axsome Therapeutics lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Axsome Therapeutics' 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 Axsome Therapeutics 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 Axsome Stock moves the wrong way.
