April 21, 2016 at 10:32 AM EDT
Investors in Akorn Inc (AKRX) saw new options begin trading this week, for the December 16th 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 239 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..
