8Dividend vs. Covered Calls #2
This is the second monthly report of my ongoing competition between my dividend and options portfolios.
I’ve also realized that the title of this series is somewhat misleading — a true dividend investor would likely not select the same stocks or ETFs I did. Therefore, the performance of my “dividend portfolio” isn’t really comparable to my options strategy.
(If you’re interested in the original post, you can find it here: https://app.getquin.com/en/post/GMERLfWxXM/dividend-vs-covered-calls)
This is the reason that from now on, I’ll focus on reporting what actions I’ve taken regarding the options portfolio only, how often my stocks were called away, and how I’ve occasionally sacrificed paper gains in exchange for real, earned option premiums.
Over the past month, I added 100 shares each of $NU (+0,68%), $INFY (-0,66%), $AGN (-0,17%), and $NXE (+0,49%).
Here are the covered calls I sold:
$NU (+0,68%) ( 200 shares)
- Oct 24 ’25 16 CALL – $33
- Nov 14 ’25 17 CALL – $40
- Nov 21 ’25 17.5 CALL – $33
$INFY (-0,66%) ( 100 shares)
- Oct 17 ’25 17 CALL – $36
- Nov 21 ’25 17 CALL – $30
$AGN (-0,17%) ( 100 shares)
- Nov 21 ’25 7 CALL – €16
$NXE (+0,49%) ( 100 shares)
- Nov 21 ’25 10 CALL – $55
Total option premium income: €210 on a total investment of €5,543.
None of my stocks have been called away yet. Infosys came close — it’s currently in the money, and I’ve already factored in that it might get called away. If that happens, I’ll miss out on the dividend payments, but if the price drops again, I could collect an additional €26 in dividends.
Overall, October was a calm and positive month — no drama, no big surprises.
See you in the next update!

Or is Aegon $AGN (-0,17%) a better buy at this point in time?
It is part of a dividend investment portfolio.
The ten best dividend stocks - according to BNP Paribas
The Bank BNP Paribas yesterday published its legendary dividend book for the second half of the year.
Ten European stocks were selected and placed on a list called "Best Ideas". All of these stocks have a pretty convincing track record.
What makes a really good dividend stock for BNP? Stable distributions over at least ten years, sustainable dividend growth and a strong free cash flow. In addition, there are qualitative criteria such as reasonable payout ratios, earnings momentum and rapid price recovery after the dividend discount.
Aegon
$AGN (-0,17%) is a Dutch insurer with a focus on the US market. Dividend yield: 6.8 percent. Added to this is the fantasy of possible deals and greater capital efficiency.
Arkema
$AKE (+0,05%) is a French specialty chemicals group with a yield of 5.7 percent. It is a spin-off from the chemicals business of the oil company Total. Arkema is one of the leading suppliers of highly developed materials.
Bankinter $BKT (+0,09%) is a top Spanish address for wealthy clients. The bank has a solid balance sheet and offers a yield of 5.1 percent - although business is being held back slightly by the prospect of falling key interest rates.
Aéroports de Paris
$ADP (+0,15%) is - as the name suggests - the operator of the Paris airports. Here, investors receive a yield of 3.4 percent, and there is also great rebound potential due to growing air traffic and an exciting investment in GMR in India.
Inditex
$ITX (+0,11%) is the Zara-parent company. The company impresses with a 3.6% return, but above all with a strong cash flow thanks to falling logistics costs and global expansion.
Intesa Sanpaolo
$ISP (+0,54%) is Italy's largest financial institution and offers a 7.9 percent dividend. A large part of its success comes from stable segments such as asset management.
Munich Re
$MUV2 (+0,52%) is one of the stocks from Germany. The reinsurance classic offers investors a yield of 4.2 percent. The company has an enormously strong balance sheet and is a real all-purpose portfolio weapon.
National Grid
$NG. (+0,78%) is an electricity and gas provider from the UK that pays a dividend of 4.5 percent. The company is strong on the energy transition and is well hedged against inflation.
Publicis
$PUB (+0,11%) is France's advertising giant with data-driven advertising and pays a dividend of 3.9 percent. The company is also strongly positioned in the field of artificial intelligence.
The last stock to round off Volkswagen
$VOW (+1,06%) rounds off the list. The car manufacturer offers a full six percent yield. The partnership with Rivian
$RIVN (+0,07%) is also beginning to generate imagination.
All ten stocks combine above-average dividend yields with reasonable valuations. The average price/earnings ratio (P/E) is around 10, and all companies are well capitalized.
BNP speaks of a "quality-driven dividend portfolio" - so it's not about bargain hunting. For those who prefer a broader approach, there is of course also the dividend ETF Amundi MSCI Europe High Dividend Factor ETF EUR $CD9 (+0,28%)
