Near options calls more expensive than longer dated ones for the same strike price?
I'm a heavy bag holder of telus options stock. I was wondering why my call options for this upcoming july are worth more than the one set in august for the same 12$ strike price? Is it only because they are illiquid and the bid-asking price higher? Or do they …
