PEGA Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With PEGA at 63.45, 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%	1.90	0.5
5%	3.17	0.9
10%	6.35	1.7

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:
