April 21, 2014 at 11:36 AM EDT
Investors in Altria Group Inc (MO) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 20th 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 243 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..
