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. 79 contracts (avg 181 vol/day, 51 traded recently)

ZD averages only 181 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 $30.00 01-15 call last traded $23.60 on 07/06 (now $21.60/$24.00) — try a limit near $22.80. Also watch the $30.00 03-19 call last traded $25.11 on 07/28 (now $20.90/$25.50) — try a limit near $23.20; the $35.00 12-18 call last traded $19.35 on 06/30 (now $16.30/$19.90) — try a limit near $18.10. Most tradeable put: the $55.00 12-18 put last traded $8.90 on 07/02 (now $7.30/$10.10) — try a limit near $8.70.
