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. 82 contracts (avg 425 vol/day, 78 traded recently)

HRB averages only 425 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 $35.00 01-15 call last traded $12.00 on 08/04 (now $15.50/$17.20) — try a limit near $15.50. Also watch the $35.00 08-21 call last traded $11.50 on 08/06 (now $15.00/$17.00) — try a limit near $15.00; the $50.00 10-16 call last traded $1.88 on 08/04 (now $2.85/$3.30) — try a limit near $2.85. Most tradeable put: the $50.00 08-21 put last traded $5.20 on 08/03 (now $0.60/$0.85) — try a limit near $0.73.
