OUNZ Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With OUNZ at 29.26, 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% 0.88 0.2
5% 1.46 0.4
10% 2.93 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 OUNZ Using Covered Calls

Jun 20 30.00 0.60 95 0.6 0.65 (2.2%)
