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. 70 contracts (avg 126 vol/day, 70 traded recently)

PFG averages only 126 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 $105.00 09-18 call last traded $10.50 on 07/17 (now $6.20/$6.80) — try a limit near $6.50. Also watch the $110.00 10-16 call last traded $8.50 on 08/05 (now $3.70/$4.60) — try a limit near $4.15; the $105.00 08-21 call last traded $9.74 on 07/29 (now $4.30/$6.90) — try a limit near $5.60. Most tradeable put: the $110.00 10-16 put last traded $3.30 on 08/07 (now $3.30/$4.10) — try a limit near $3.30.
