EEMS Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With EEMS at 58.38, 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% 1.75 0.5
5% 2.92 0.8
10% 5.84 1.6
