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 $90.00 08-21 call last traded $1.85 on 07/17 (now $0.60/$0.75) — try a limit near $0.68. Also watch the $85.00 09-18 call last traded $6.50 on 07/17 (now $3.40/$4.90) — try a limit near $4.15; the $87.50 08-21 call last traded $3.15 on 07/17 (now $1.30/$2.20) — try a limit near $1.75. Most tradeable put: the $75.00 12-18 put last traded $1.00 on 07/13 (now $1.20/$1.45) — try a limit near $1.20.
