ICF Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With ICF at 66.98, 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% | 2.01 | 0.6 |
5% | 3.35 | 0.9 |
10% | 6.70 | 1.8 |
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:
