REGL Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With REGL at 83.38, 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% | 2.50 | 0.7 |
5% | 4.17 | 1.1 |
10% | 8.34 | 2.3 |
