Comerica 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 Comerica 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.

Comerica In The Money Call Balance

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

Using current Comerica's option volume and open interest to make an investment decision is considered a contrarian-sentiment measure that can be utilized in many timing strategies in both derivative and spot marketplace.

Rule 16 of the current Comerica contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Comerica will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 3.85% per day over the life of the 2024-06-14 option contract. With Comerica trading at USD 48.61, that is roughly USD 1.87. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Comerica's daily price movement you should consider buying Comerica options at the current volatility level of 61.6%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Comerica 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" Comerica calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Comerica stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
