CNS Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With CNS at 78.01, 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%	2.34	0.6
5%	3.90	1.1
10%	7.80	2.1

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:

3% Yield On CNS Using Covered Calls
Expiration	Strike	Call Bid	Days	Cents/Day	Upside Potential
Dec 19	80.00	2.55	170	1.5	1.50 (1.9%)
