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