SBGI Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With SBGI at 13.66, 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% | 0.41 | 0.1 | 
| 5% | 0.68 | 0.2 | 
| 10% | 1.37 | 0.4 | 
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:
