April 22, 2019 at 10:39 AM EDT
Investors in United Continental Holdings Inc (UAL) saw new options begin trading today, for the August 16th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 116 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..
