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

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.

The market value of Radian Group is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Radian that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Radian's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Radian'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 Radian's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Radian's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Radian's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Radian is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Radian's 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.
