In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Desktop Metal

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

The market value of Desktop Metal is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Desktop that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Desktop Metal's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Desktop Metal'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 Desktop Metal's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Desktop Metal's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Desktop Metal is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Desktop Metal'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.
