Investors in Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd (MPEL) saw new options begin trading this week, for the April 2015 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 197 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..
