Helix Energy Solutions In The Money Call Balance

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

Rule 16 of the current Helix contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Helix Energy Solutions will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.13% per day over the life of the 2025-01-17 option contract. With Helix Energy trading at USD 9.52, that is roughly USD 0.0123. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Helix Energy's daily price movement you should consider buying Helix Energy Solutions options at the current volatility level of 2.06%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Helix Energy options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Helix calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Helix Energy Solutions stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
