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. 93 contracts (avg 106 vol/day, 93 traded recently)

PKG averages only 106 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 $260.00 10-16 call last traded $11.58 on 08/05 (now $8.60/$11.50) — try a limit near $10.05. Also watch the $250.00 08-21 call last traded $8.20 on 08/06 (now $7.20/$10.00) — try a limit near $8.20; the $290.00 09-18 call last traded $1.66 on 07/29 (now $0.05/$2.55) — try a limit near $1.30. Most tradeable put: the $250.00 08-21 put last traded $3.70 on 08/05 (now $2.00/$5.50) — try a limit near $3.70.
