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. 83 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 $45.00 08-21 call last traded $2.91 on 08/07 (now $5.70/$6.10) — try a limit near $5.70. Also watch the $55.00 10-16 call last traded $1.00 on 07/29 (now $1.15/$1.40) — try a limit near $1.15; the $45.00 09-18 call last traded $3.50 on 08/07 (now $5.60/$7.00) — try a limit near $5.60. Most tradeable put: the $55.00 01-15 put last traded $15.50 on 07/07 (now $7.10/$7.80) — try a limit near $7.45.
