In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Groupon

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

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

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