SCC Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With SCC at 8.92, 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% 0.27 0.1
5% 0.45 0.1
10% 0.89 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:

3% Yield On SCC Using Covered Calls
Expiration Strike Call Bid Days Cents/Day Upside Potential
Jul 18 12.00 0.50 211 0.2 3.10 (34.8%)
