Core Main Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-08-15 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when Core Main's market makers reach a net positive position across all Core Main's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Core Main's 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 Core Main lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Core Main'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 Core Main 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 Core Stock moves the wrong way.

Core Main In The Money Call Balance

When Core Main's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Core Main stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Core Main'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 Core Main 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 Core Main is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Core that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Core Main's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Core Main'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 Core Main's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Core Main's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Core Main is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Core Main's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
