FUN Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With FUN at 54.84, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (ie. 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% | 1.65 | 0.5 |
| 5% | 2.74 | 0.8 |
| 10% | 5.48 | 1.5 |
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:
