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.

However, in-the-money PulteGroup contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts.

For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option.

So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.
