Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 115 contracts (avg 576 vol/day, 115 traded recently)

BNS averages only 576 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $72.50 12-18 call last traded $10.70 on 06/11 (now $15.30/$17.60) — try a limit near $15.30. Also watch the $75.00 03-19 call last traded $16.92 on 07/16 (now $13.70/$16.30) — try a limit near $15.00; the $87.50 09-18 call last traded $4.82 on 07/16 (now $3.10/$3.70) — try a limit near $3.40. Most tradeable put: the $75.00 12-18 put last traded $1.00 on 07/13 (now $1.05/$1.45) — try a limit near $1.05.
