Deluxe option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in Deluxe's lending market. For example, when Deluxe's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on Deluxe, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting Deluxe stock over its option's life.

Deluxe In The Money Call Balance

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