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 $230.00 01-15 call last traded $33.55 on 07/29 (now $29.50/$32.80) — try a limit near $31.15. Also watch the $250.00 10-16 call last traded $16.33 on 08/07 (now $9.40/$12.60) — try a limit near $11.00; the $250.00 09-18 call last traded $11.50 on 08/07 (now $6.40/$9.30) — try a limit near $7.85. Most tradeable put: the $240.00 08-21 put last traded $2.75 on 07/28 (now $0.00/$0.80) — try a limit near $0.40.
