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. 80 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 $7.10/$7.50) — try a limit near $7.10. Also watch the $40.00 08-21 call last traded $6.38 on 08/07 (now $12.10/$13.00) — try a limit near $12.10; the $40.00 11-20 call last traded $7.80 on 08/07 (now $12.50/$13.90) — try a limit near $12.50. Most tradeable put: the $45.00 09-18 put last traded $2.15 on 08/07 (now $0.15/$0.45) — try a limit near $0.30.
