December 19, 2017 at 11:02 AM EST
Investors in Proshares UltraShort Dow30 (DXD) saw new options become available this week, for the March 2018 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 available 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..
