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. 81 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 $7.80/$8.20) — try a limit near $7.80. Also watch the $40.00 10-16 call last traded $7.40 on 08/07 (now $12.70/$13.60) — try a limit near $12.70; the $40.00 01-15 call last traded $8.60 on 08/07 (now $13.70/$14.80) — try a limit near $13.70. Most tradeable put: the $45.00 10-16 put last traded $2.95 on 08/07 (now $0.45/$0.80) — try a limit near $0.63.
