April 13, 2016 at 10:41 AM EDT
Investors in Barclays PLC (BCS) saw new options begin trading today, for the August 19th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 128 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..
