Seeking Alpha

For USA equities and financial trends and news this site is excellent. The people who wrote analysis are experts and I find it very useful to understand what's behind things like the current bank crises, interest rates and trends. They need to add more international companies like Hong Kong, India, and Canada so that we can get in on these great grow8ng markets.

I tried a promotional subscription from Seeking Alpha and I was unknowingly renewed at their ridiculous rate of 236.00 $. It took me three phone calls and a week and a half to talk to a manager, only to be denied any kind of a refund. These people are all about the money, beware.

I highly recommend this website for investing recommendations. I have been following the top stocks reviews for over 2 years. I have purchased many of the recommendations. I have been very pleased with the results of the picks. I have purchased many investing publications over the years. This publication is among the best for the price. The pricing of the product is very reasonable. I do not think you can go wrong with adding this publication to your list.

There's no reason to pay for any premium services from either Seeking Alpha or any of it's subscriber services. The data for premium members is easily accessed from other free sites. Much of the "economic analysis" from the company is highly biased. The feature writers are all over the map - most of them are unqualified people trying to get clicks for fees. The collective wisdom of the "analysts" are no better than the flip of a coin. Some of the analysts are painfully ill-informed.
The Point: Seeking Alpha is merely a social media company promoting the status quo. Their censors are merciless and heavily biased to whatever the prevailing mainstream media agenda may be at the moment. If MSNBC had a financial site, it would be a lot like this. Regardless of your view of politics or culture, that would, in my view, make Seeking Alpha an awful choice for financial information.

I do like the platform, I think it provides some good information. For me, I wanted to cancel it because I realize I'm not using it enough, I only check my portfolio a few times a year. I bought the yearly subscription and within a couple weeks I wanted to cancel it. Even though they didn't have to, seeking alpha did end up refunding me with a very nice customer service process. Would recommend the website and the free trial to get a feel.

Overall a great site for anyone interested in the stock market - and equities in particular. Combines a wealth of statistical data into easily understood metrics allowing those not versed in financial statistics to determine the growth potential, value of, momentum of a given stock.

One great thing is the inclusion of OTC stocks (those 5 letter stocks ending in Y). It's hard to get any information beyond basic stats on many worthwhile international companies - Seeking Alpha has articles on most all of them - often several. That's another strength - the shear amount of neverending content.

And that's also the problem. Analysts vary from the self-trained retail investor to the hedge fund manager, with little distinction between them in terms of the importance of their ratings for stocks. This means you have to be wary of just one article - you never know how well the person is trained to discuss the stock and whether they likely have all relevant information to do so.

Super premium investment clubs are a rip-off as well.

Top value for the subscription cost. SA blows Dividend.com, of which I'm a paid subscriber, out of the water. I like SA better than Yahoo Finance Plus, as well.

They charged me year after I canceled services automaticly. Currently having dispute,
I would recomend never to have business with this company.

Any income investor would benefit from the High Dividend Opportunities service, the level of research and recommendations are unmatched in my opinion. Rida Morwa and his team are top notch and provide continuous market commentary as well as income based recommendations. The Model Portfolio Spreadsheet provides all the details needed to get started on a path to becoming an income investor.

I made a subscription on 1st October of 2022. I paid 119.50 $. By the end of the year I decided not to continue it.
I canceled my subscription in December 2022, or at least I thought I canceled it!
Today, 28th of September 2023 they charged my Paypal with 239$, without any warning. Scam! I discovered in the account that the subscription was not in fact canceled. I canceled the automatic payments from Paypal and unsubscribed AGAIN, hopefully now for good.

As an investor and someone looking for investment insight I have used many of the same sites everyone else uses. A friend told me amazing insight about a common company we both are invested in and I asked him how he found his information. He told me about SeekingAlpha.com. I signed up and was hooked from day one, I entered my portfolio (2/2023) and it's the primary tool I use now for investment insight and market information. Great research and consolidation of industry info is done in an intuitive fashion, I use the iPad version of the tool primarily.

Had an inital rate for $50. They renewed one year on Dec 12 for $250.00. After contacting them and the credit card company 12 hours after I saw the renewal, To bad for me. I am stuck with a one year subcription I did not want. Capital One credit card would not help me. I am very diasppointed in Capital One as well as the preditors at Seeking Alpha that took the time to send 60 pages of "proof" to Capital One to make sure they could keep my money. This is a lesson for all credit credit card holders... Don't give your credit card info out to any company where there is automatic renewal. I was a way on a trip and missed the deadline. Don't let this "Gotcha" happen to you. Terribly unfair to the consumer.

Seeking Alpha has provided me with extensive financial information not just about my portfolio but nearly the entire range of equity investing opportunities. It daily reports on my stocks and has a wealth of information to aid in intelligently guide my investments.

Seeking Alpha is my go-to place for investment advice. Their authors are insightful and offer unbiased viewpoints on the stock market

In one place you get a lot of information and various opinions on stocks and if bought at the right time also for a very good price

I noticed auto-renewal payment made today without any pre-alret either for continuation or cancellation of subscription. I sent a message for cancellation request on setting page of Seeking Alpha and got their quick assistance. I was impressed by their customer support for problem solving as this sort of issues are on hold by service provider in general. Thanks SA you mde my day!

Seeking Alpha's service is very good. It is better than Motley Fool and Market watch. I like my portfolio list with the analyst ratings and ability to add your own note to a stock and the news/articles on each stock in my portfolio ".

I'm new to SA premium and so far I like what I see. The site is well organized and provides useful and actionable information that one might normally have to visit many sites to obtain. Support has been super responsive too. Since anyone can be an author, I wish it were easier to learn about an author's qualifications and experience. Currently, you can click on their name and read but what is provided is not uniform across authors. A welcome format might include, education, certifications (e.g CFA) experience in investing and in what areas, if applicable, size of portfolio managed, etc.".

The free portfolio page provides all you need to quickly and easily monitor the status of your individual investments. Finding additional unbiased information and insights from investors like me helps me to have confidence in my investment decisions.

They said nvda was overvalued when it was under $200, look what happen now. Now they removed all related articles. This joker still keep sending hundreds emails to me.

I am new to these sites with info on stock and ETF. I have always used Yahoo for seeking companies. But then I ran into SA and way more better than Yahoo, but i still use yahoo for quick analysis.

I used seeking alpha quite a bit for its articles, company specific financial reports, transcripts, and charts. I also needed to use they're customer support and found them to be prompt in resolving my issue quickly and fairly. I recommend seeking alpha since I experienced beneficial information and trustworthy service.

My main complaint is that customer service does not email you to advise that your free 2 week subscription is up and that your credit card will be charged if you do not cancel. I complained about the fact that a charge was made for a servce I did not want and didn't even know I had subcribed to. I was told that they do not issue refunds afer the charge was made. I rang them on the 26th. Customer service said they would issue a refund provided I took a two year subscription at their special rate. This I did and my credit card was charged on the 26th. There was a refund issued on the 6th of December but since I did not call them until the 26th to complain I did not know how the refund could be issued dated the 3rd when I did not ring them until the 26th. I needed a clarification and the agent said I did not ring on the 26th about the matter of the refund and that he would deny that any such conversation happened. He would not answer my question and hung up on me. I have completely lost trust in Seeking Alpha and can only advise that you be vigilant with subscriptions and do not allow automatic renewal in your paypal account.
