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. 118 contracts (avg 549 vol/day, 118 traded recently)

BNS averages only 549 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 $85.00 09-18 call last traded $4.00 on 07/24 (now $3.50/$4.40) — try a limit near $3.95. Also watch the $77.50 09-18 call last traded $13.34 on 07/16 (now $9.00/$12.00) — try a limit near $10.50; the $90.00 12-18 call last traded $3.80 on 07/24 (now $2.85/$4.80) — try a limit near $3.80. Most tradeable put: the $87.50 09-18 put last traded $3.50 on 07/23 (now $2.95/$4.00) — try a limit near $3.48.
