About StockTipz
StockTipz is a plain-English resource for everyday investors who want to put their portfolio to work without the jargon, the hype, or the get-rich-quick noise. We focus on two proven, time-tested ways to get paid from the stock market: options income (covered calls, cash-secured puts, and the wheel strategy) and dividend investing.
Every guide here is built to be genuinely useful: real step-by-step examples, an honest look at the risks, and no pretending the market is a slot machine you can beat overnight.
Who writes StockTipz
Hi, I am Zach, the writer behind StockTipz. I am a self-directed investor, not a licensed financial advisor, and that shapes how I write. I explain strategies the way I would explain them to a friend who is smart but new to options and dividends: read the numbers, understand the trade-off, then decide for yourself.
I am not here to sell a signals group or a secret indicator. The goal is simple. Help you understand how income strategies actually work so you can make your own informed decisions with clear eyes.
How to read our examples
All numbers, trades, and tickers on this site are illustrative and for education only. They are not personalized financial advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Options involve risk and are not suitable for every investor. Always do your own research, and consider speaking with a licensed professional before you invest.
