Investors in iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (EWH) saw new options begin trading today, for the January 2016 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 431 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..
