Over the past month, we’ve been long TCL and SYD , as we felt US interest rates would not push beyond levels already priced in by the market, therefore creating value in yield sensitive names.
Out of the potential basket of yield sensitive names to consider, our preference was TCL and SYD coming into their June dividends.
With the above stocks now trading up 15%+ and 10%+, (respectively), from their recent lows and the yields now compressing below 5%, we feel potential capital gains from here are limited and it’s time to sell covered calls to enhance the return.
