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. 71 contracts (avg 110 vol/day, 71 traded recently)

PKG averages only 110 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 $250.00 09-18 call last traded $8.80 on 08/20 (now $3.90/$6.70) — try a limit near $5.30. Most tradeable put: the $250.00 09-18 put last traded $6.00 on 08/14 (now $7.70/$10.00) — try a limit near $7.70.
