September 24, 2014 at 11:02 AM EDT
Investors in iShares Russell 2000 Value Index Fund (IWN) saw new options become available this week, for the May 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 233 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..
