Not one of these is a dividend machine; MSFT and QCOM do not pay at least a three percent dividend and PBI cut the dividend last year; yet they can provide covered call income.
I used the intraday price for analysis, but you may be in at a different basis. I have profiled each of these stocks recently at lower prices.
