The chart above shows City Holding's distribution of open interest by maturity on contracts that have not yet been settled. The area between the two highest points is the projection of the price at expiration. City Holding's open interest chart also provides vital information regarding the liquidity of an option.

Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on City Holding lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if City Holding's 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 City Holding 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 City Stock moves the wrong way.

City Holding In The Money Call Balance

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

The market value of City Holding is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of City that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of City Holding's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is City Holding's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because City Holding's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect City Holding's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between City Holding's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if City Holding is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, City Holding's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
