However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk.

HP Maximum Pain Price across 2023-03-31 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 HP 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.
HP's stock options are financial instruments that give investors the right to buy or sell shares of HP Inc common stock at a specified price for a given time period.

Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on HP lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if HP'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 HP 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 HP Stock moves the wrong way.

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on HP Inc 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.

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