September 19, 2014 at 10:41 AM EDT
Investors in Astrazeneca plc (AZN) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 20th 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 92 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..
