We are hoping this to be an easy and simple lesson to introduce options to you. By following Options Basics' articles, you should be able to understand options and how to utilize options to either profit or protect your stock.
我们希望这是一节简单易学的课程，可以向您介绍各种选项。通过阅读期权基础知识的文章，你应该能够理解期权，以及如何利用期权获利或保护你的股票。
Coming into trading options, there are a few new terms that you might want to know. Intrinsic value would be one of them.
谈到期权交易，有几个新的术语你可能想知道。内在价值将是其中之一。
In short, intrinsic value is the amount an option is in-the-money. Obviously, only in-the-money options have intrinsic value.
简而言之，内在价值就是期权的现金价值。显然，只有现金期权才有内在价值。
Let's look at an example:
让我们看一个例子：
If you look at the screenshot above, the current price of Tesla is $822.99. This means options with strikes lower than $822.99 are in-the-money options.
如果你看上面的截图，特斯拉目前的价格是822.99美元。这意味着罢工金额低于822.99美元的期权是现金期权。
If we look at call options with a strike of $800, the intrinsic value of this option is $822.99(current price)-$800(in-the-money strike)=$22.99.
如果我们看一下执行价为800美元的看涨期权，这个期权的内在价值是822.99美元(现价)-800美元(现金执行价)=22.99美元。
