OPRA Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With OPRA at 18.25, 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% |
0.55 |
0.2 |
| 5% |
0.91 |
0.3 |
| 10% |
1.83 |
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:
