This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value.

The market value of Delta Air Lines is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Delta that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Delta Air's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Delta Air's true underlying value.

Investors typically determine if Delta Air is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
