In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Open Lending

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

Open Lending Corp In The Money Call Balance

When Open Lending's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Open Lending Corp stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Open Lending'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 Open Lending Corp 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.

It is estimated that an average options trader loses somewhere between 80% to 90% of the time.

Purchasing Open Lending 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" Open calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Open Lending Corp stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
