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 455 vol/day, 82 traded recently)

HRB averages only 455 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 $40.00 10-16 call last traded $1.75 on 09/30 (now $8.40/$8.80) — try a limit near $8.40. Also watch the $40.00 01-15 call last traded $3.10 on 09/30 (now $9.00/$9.90) — try a limit near $9.00; the $45.00 11-20 call last traded $1.67 on 10/02 (now $4.40/$5.10) — try a limit near $4.40. Most tradeable put: the $45.00 04-16 put last traded $7.18 on 09/29 (now $3.20/$3.80) — try a limit near $3.50.
