September 22, 2015 at 11:58 AM EDT
Investors in Proshares Short Dow30 (DOG) saw new options begin trading this week, for the May 2016 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 241 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..
