Ever wish that a great growth stock also paid a dividend? Well, if a company isn't forking over the dough, you'll just have to go out and get it yourself. All you have to do is write a covered call.
A covered call is a popular option strategy in which you sell (i.e., write) enough call options to "cover" the shares of a stock that you own. When you do this, you bring in a premium that is yours to keep regardless of whether the stock gets called away from you, and this money is your synthetic dividend.
