ADP Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With ADP at 259.34, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (i.e. total annual call premium received) would need to be to attain 3%, 5%, and 10% annual yields. Also shown is the equivalent number of cents/day necessary to achieve each yield:

Annual Yield	Annual Premium	Cents/Day
3%	7.78	2.1
5%	12.97	3.6
10%	25.93	7.1

So now we need to find out of the money covered calls that pay at least the prescribed cents/day amount of time premium. That will generate income and, because they are out of the money, leave room for some upside potential on the stock. Here are some examples:
