June 25, 2014 at 10:48 AM EDT
Investors in Validus Holdings Ltd (VR) saw new options begin trading this week, for the February 2015 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 240 days until expiration the newly trading 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..
