TSLA Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With TSLA at 320.63, 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% | 9.62 | 2.6 |
| 5% | 16.03 | 4.4 |
| 10% | 32.06 | 8.8 |
