MON March 2018 Options Begin Trading
May 15, 2017 at 10:38 AM EDT
Investors in Monsanto Co (MON) saw new options begin trading today, for the March 2018 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 305 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..
