Out of the money (OTM)
An option whose strike price is above the current price of the underlying stock or future (for call options) or below the current price of the underlying stock or future (for put options). With Cisco trading at $70, both the $60 put options and $80 call options are out of the money. Out-of-the-money options have no intrinsic value.
