ZTO Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With ZTO at 19.02, 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% 0.57 0.2
5% 0.95 0.3
10% 1.90 0.5
