Investors in Weatherford International plc (WFT) saw new options begin trading today, for the October 18th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 89 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..
