Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Vanguard lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value.

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

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

The market value of Vanguard SP 500 is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Vanguard that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Vanguard's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Vanguard's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Vanguard's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Vanguard's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Vanguard's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Vanguard is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Vanguard's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
