Open Interest Against 2024-04-26 Option Contracts

Norwegian Cruise option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in Norwegian Cruise's lending market. For example, when Norwegian Cruise's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs.

Norwegian Cruise Maximum Pain Price across 2024-04-26 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 Norwegian Cruise 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.

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

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

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Norwegian Cruise Line will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 4.09% per day over the life of the 2024-04-26 option contract. With Norwegian Cruise trading at USD 19.54, that is roughly USD 0.8. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Norwegian Cruise's daily price movement you should consider buying Norwegian Cruise Line options at the current volatility level of 65.5%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Norwegian Cruise 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" Norwegian calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Norwegian Cruise Line stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
