IVOO Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With IVOO at 112.28, 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% 3.37 0.9
5% 5.61 1.5
10% 11.23 3.1
