August 29, 2013 at 10:33 AM EDT
Investors in Schwab Strategic Trust - Schwab US Aggregate Bond ETF (SCHE) saw new options begin trading this week, for the April 2014 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 233 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration.
