In The Money

What does it Mean? 1. For a call option, when the option's strike price is below the market price of the underlying asset.

2. For a put option, when the strike price is above the market price of the underlying asset.
Investopedia Says... In other words, this is when your stock option is worth money and you can turn around and sell or exercise it for a profit.
