Max pain occurs when Penn National's market makers reach a net positive position across all Penn National's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Penn National's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

So, even if Penn National'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 Penn National contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.

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