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

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

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