Colgate Palmolive Maximum Pain Price across 2024-06-14 Option Contracts

Max pain usually refers to a trading concept that asserts that market manipulation can cause the market price of particular securities such as Colgate Palmolive close to expiration to expire worthless. According to most research, approximately 10% to 15% of all stock options are exercised, while about 35% expire worthlessly, with roughly 50% traded out before the expiration date. So, Max pain occurs when market makers reach a net positive position across all options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

However, in-the-money Colgate Palmolive contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.

Colgate Palmolive In The Money Call Balance

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

Rule 16 of the current Colgate contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Colgate Palmolive will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 1.3% per day over the life of the 2024-06-14 option contract. With Colgate Palmolive trading at USD 93.89, that is roughly USD 1.22. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Colgate Palmolive's daily price movement you should consider buying Colgate Palmolive options at the current volatility level of 20.73%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Colgate Palmolive 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" Colgate calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Colgate Palmolive stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

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