Tomified Posts: 1285 Incept: 2008-03-13 MO	Why are quarterly option prices more expensive than regular options that expire the same month? I was looking at September Spy puts and September quarterlys. It looks like the farther out of the money you go, the greater the difference. 2012-04-18 12:42:05 Permalink

The predominant options are the regular expiry, not the EOMs. EOMs have a higher premium because of their greater term. ---------- "I know a few arcane, obscure financial acronyms that the general public doesn't know and that's about it."
