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 $70.00 09-18 call last traded $16.70 on 07/21 (now $16.80/$19.30) — try a limit near $16.80. Also watch the $85.00 09-18 call last traded $4.00 on 07/24 (now $4.70/$5.50) — try a limit near $4.70. Most tradeable put: the $75.00 12-18 put last traded $1.40 on 07/23 (now $0.90/$1.20) — try a limit near $1.05.
