IVOO Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With IVOO at 105.34, 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% 3.16 0.9
5% 5.27 1.4
10% 10.53 2.9
