This is especially true when Norwegian Cruise's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

Norwegian Cruise Line In The Money Call Balance

When Norwegian Cruise's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Norwegian Cruise Line stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Norwegian Cruise'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 Norwegian Cruise Line 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.

Remember, the seller must deliver Norwegian Cruise Line stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

Investors also form their own opinion of Norwegian Cruise's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Norwegian Cruise'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 Norwegian Cruise's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Norwegian Cruise's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
