Investors in iShares S&P 100 Index Fund (OEF) saw new options begin trading this week, for the April 2014 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 113 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration..
