In the money refers to options which have intrinsic value of the security built into them. Call options are in the money when the strike price is lower than the price of the underlying stock, allowing one to buy the stock at a price lower than the market price. Put options are in the money when the strike price is higher than the price of the underlying stock, allowing one to sell the stock at a price higher than the market price.
