TLH Dividend Type Payments

Although TLH has no upcoming (meaning, Board-approved and announced) dividends, you can sell covered calls on iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF to create 12 extra dividend type payments per year to boost its yield. Let's look at some recent prices (last updated Wed 4:16 PM ET):

TLH Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls

With TLH at 98.40, 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%	2.95	0.8
5%	4.92	1.3
10%	9.84	2.7

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:
