MTX Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With MTX at 79.54, 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% | 2.39 | 0.7 |
| 5% | 3.98 | 1.1 |
| 10% | 7.95 | 2.2 |
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:
