In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Citi Trends
Analyzing Citi Trends' in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Citi Trends regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Citi Trends' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Citi Trends lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Citi Trends' 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 Citi Trends contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.

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.

Investors also form their own opinion of Citi Trends' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Citi Trends' 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 Citi Trends' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Citi Trends' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
