February 19, 2019 at 11:16 AM EST
Investors in Southwestern Energy Company (SWN) saw new options begin trading today, for the May 17th 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 87 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..
