UWM Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With UWM at 35.43, 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%	1.06	0.3
5%	1.77	0.5
