Want a Dividend on Non-Dividend Paying Apple (AAPL)? Do This...

So you're an income fund manager and have watched Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) skyrocket but couldn't participate because the stock pays no dividend? Well, your ship may have finally come...

Option strategists at Goldman Sachs list four non-dividend paying stocks that should be bought by income manager using buy-write strategies. In fact, income managers are increasingly using this strategy to transform non-dividend paying stocks into income generating assets, according to Goldman.

Goldman notes that non-dividend yielding stocks make up about 20% of the stocks in the S&P 500 and 11% of the stocks in the Russell 1000 Value. Income managers can expand their "yield" universe by using buy-writes on these stocks.

The firm sees the top buy-writes for income funds as Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY), GM (NYSE: GM), and EMC (NYSE: EMC). Income fund managers should buy the stock and sell 1-year calls on these.

• For Apple, you can buy the stock at $586, sell Jan-2013 $720 strike calls and collect a premium of $25.05. This could yield 4.3% in 10 months.
  
  
• For eBay, you can buy the stock at $36.83, sell Jan-2013 $45 strike calls and collect a premium of $1.53. This could yield 4.1% in 10 months.
