SPYG Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With SPYG at 102.60, 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% |
3.08 |
0.8 |
| 5% |

1.4 |
| 10% |
10.26 |
