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. 69 contracts (avg 105 vol/day, 69 traded recently)

PKG averages only 105 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 $270.00 04-16 call last traded $11.10 on 08/28 (now $7.50/$9.50) — try a limit near $8.50. Also watch the $260.00 01-15 call last traded $12.10 on 08/26 (now $5.50/$8.70) — try a limit near $7.10; the $240.00 09-18 call last traded $8.45 on 08/27 (now $1.50/$4.20) — try a limit near $2.85. Most tradeable put: the $240.00 09-18 put last traded $4.60 on 08/28 (now $7.90/$10.40) — try a limit near $7.90.
