The intrinsic value is the real value of the option. This means

that if you exercise your call option contract (which you normally

never do in the options market), you will purchase 100 shares of

the common stock at a lower price than the current market price

of the common stock. Thus, the option has some real value.

If you were to exercise a put option contract with intrinsic

value, you would sell 100 shares of stock at a higher price than

the current market value of the common stock—the put option

would then have real value.
