ITW Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With ITW at 248.83, 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% | 7.46 | 2.0 |
5% | 12.44 | 3.4 |
10% | 24.88 | 6.8 |
