NIO Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With NIO at 7.45, 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% |

0.1 |
5% |
0.37 |
0.1 |
10% |
0.75 |
0.2 |
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:
