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

This is especially true when Design Therapeutics' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Design Therapeutics' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Design Therapeutics' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Design Therapeutics lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Design 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 Design Therapeutics contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.
