XRT January 2017 Options Begin Trading
November 17, 2014 at 12:10 PM EST
Investors in SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) saw new options begin trading today, for the January 2017 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 795 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..
