$30 5.20 85 35An at-the-money option has both advantages and disadvantages
over stock and in-the-money options. First, the at-the-money
option will be cheaper then both the stock and the in-the-money
option. So there is less capital requirement and less total
risk.Remember, when buying an option, you can only lose what you
spend. The problem is the amount of extrinsic in the
at-the-money option.
In order for you to profit from buying an at-the-money option,
you need the stock to make a move very quickly. Because you have
so much extrinsic value, you will be battling against the
option’s daily rate of decay.
So, the movement of the stock must happen quickly enough and
large enough to offset the amount of money you will be losing
daily as expiration draws near.
With this said, the best chance you have to make money when
buying a naked at-the-money option is to use it as a short term
trade. The longer you hold onto this option, the harder it is
for you to be profitable due to the options decaying extrinsic
value.

An out-of-the-money option presents many of the same advantage &
disadvantage parameters to the investor. The out-of-the-money
option is even cheaper then the at-the-money option which means
more leverage and less risk.
However, with a smaller delta, the stock must move much more
than either the in or at-the-money options in order for the
options to become profitable. Again, we need the option’s delta
to outpace the option’s rate of decay.
Now, with the out-of-the-money option, there is less extrinsic
value than the at-the-money option so the amount of total
possible decay (cost of the option) and the rate of this decay
is less than the at-the-money option.
By being further out-of-the-money, this option needs more
movement from the stock. As a naked option, this
out-or-the-money example is extremely speculative and should
only b
