December 24, 2013 at 10:59 AM EST
Investors in iShares MSCI Singapore Index Fund (EWS) saw new options become available this week, for the August 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 235 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration..
