With HIW at 31.66, 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% | 0.95 | 0.3 |
| 5% | 1.58 | 0.4 |
| 10% | 3.17 | 0.9 |
