By contrast, KLA Tencor's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

KLA Tencor In The Money Call Balance

When KLA Tencor's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against KLA Tencor stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying KLA Tencor'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 KLA Tencor are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts.
