CARS Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With CARS at 17.46, 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%	0.52	0.1
5%	0.87	0.2
10%	1.75	0.5

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 CARS Using Covered Calls
Expiration	Strike	Call Bid	Days	Cents/Day	Upside Potential
Jun 20	20.00	0.85	183	0.5	1.62 (9.3%)
