PL Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With PL at 5.42, 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% | 0.16 | 0.0 |
5% | 0.27 | 0.1 |
10% | 0.54 | 0.1 |
