First Week of PETS March 2014 Options Trading
August 30, 2013 at 10:33 AM EDT
Investors in PetMed Express Inc (PETS) saw new options begin trading this week, for the March 2014 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 204 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.
