In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on RPM International

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

In addition, it helps RPM Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

With RPM International trading at USD 126.52, that is roughly USD 0.0269. If you think that the market is fully incorporating RPM International's daily price movement you should consider buying RPM International options at the current volatility level of 0.34%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing RPM International 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" RPM calls. Remember, the seller must deliver RPM International stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of RPM International is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of RPM that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of RPM International's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is RPM International'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 RPM International's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect RPM International'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 RPM International's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if RPM International is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, RPM International'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.
