SCHE Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With SCHE at 27.65, 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% 0.83 0.2
5% 1.38 0.4
10% 2.77 0.8

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:

3% Yield On SCHE Using Covered Calls
Expiration Strike Call Bid Days Cents/Day Upside Potential
Jun 20 28.00 0.35 51 0.7 0.06 (0.2%)
5% Yield On SCHE Using Covered Calls
