Seeking Alpha

This site actually used to be reasonable but it has deteriorated to complete trash. There appears to be zero review of the articles published and the writers, in general, don't have the knowledge of finance that even a first year finance student should have. Wrong assumptions, ignorance of generally accepted models and methods, and incorrect mathematics abound. Then when you point out their errors they either argue or get downright nasty even if you direct them to any of a number of commonly used textbooks which they obviously have no desire to read. Get your investment advice from your barber instead.

Seeking Alpha seems to have some awesome features. However at this point, I'm not hands-on enough to really use anything beyond the portfolio tracker for my research. I was happy to use the pro version and could see the use for someone more hands-on. Unfortunately, I missed the renewal email and ended up paying after the trial. I reached out and Nithya was very kind and allowed a refund.

I would definitely recommend them if you're wanting to really cut your teeth on investing and want to manage it directly. For simple guys like me, it's a bit overkill.

Great work by Saroj Kumar Das at Seekingalpha.com customer support to get my issue resolved.

Thumbs up for them so far great job! Alan B.

I have been a Premium level member of Seeking Alpha since 1/22/21. Since that time I have enjoyed many of the articles on various financial topics written by knowledgeable financial experts. Best of all, a reader often gets a diversity of opinions so that an informed decision can be made on whether to buy a particular stock, stay with a particular investment or invest in a different market category. A reader can get the latest financial news everyday and also educate themselves by reading the educational articles provided. It's also nice to know that a very helpful customer service representative can assist you if needed as was recently the case for me. To me, Seeking Alpha is a very worthwhile financial information service and I highly recommend it.

Had problems receiving my subscription issues and updates from Seeking Alpha, but support was always able to resolve any problems within 24 hours. I finally switched my email provider as suggested, and the problem appears to have been permanently resolved.

SA used to be much better but now the comments are highly censored and not posted in real time so unless your posts agree with the moderators reading it, they are simply deleted.

Pathetic at best and anything that isn't pro investing or positive is deleted most days.

Obama trashing is fine, but nothing negative about Trump period.

Even if you have proof that the economy or the middle class is losing ground, it simply will not be posted.

I found something better and you should too.

0 stars all the way. The problem with seeking alpha is that it lacks credibility. The articles written by seeking alpha partners are highly opinion based and to be frank. Garbage. Don't listen to advice ever from this company. Not only are the articles bad. They are painfully dishonest and seeking aloha is most likely receiving money from businesses behaving in fraudulent malpractice behaviour. Look elsewhere advice for your stocks. Apes will never lose!

Seeking Alpha is a great investment research website. Easy to use - very intuitive. Lots of information both pro and con on all kinds of investments. It helps you make money and save money. What more can you ask for?

I have used both the free and the fee services of SA. I believe it is very much worth the $'s and the time spent in reading the articles. Not all of them will apply to your investment plan. But even the one's that don't, give you a perspective on other investment opportunities. As an investor who's goal is dividend yield and growth, I have the opportunity to read those authors' that will provide me with good information. Readers' comments are also useful for new ideas and as a check on an author's support of an investment.

At first I was annoyed I had to pay for Seeking Alpha. But in truth I find that many of the writers I follow have actionable ideas, basically paying for a 1 year subscription to Premium with just a trade or two. Getting only 5 free articles a month didn't cut it when I read 15+ articles per day. I also found 1 writer whose philosophy about options matches mine which caused me to subscribe to his commentary literally paying for a 1 year subscription with the 1st trade

The comments underneath stories reported in the news are absolutely horrific. The website is extremely toxic when interacting with other users. Everyone is always hurling an insult because someone doesn't have their same viewpoint rather than having a fact-based discussion to analyze a company or story in the news. There is supposed to be a code of conduct but the moderators of the site allow for the worst comments including racism and sexism.

Sonal, the service rep who answered my message, was efficient and communicated very efficiently while working on the issue. He took ownership of the problem and stuck with it until it was resolved. Sonal is a great example for other service reps to learn from.
SeekingAlpha is a great service. I have literally 7- financial data analysis apps. SA has the full array of tools and professional insights for a novice or a pro! The desktop web app is best-in-class too. No matter where I choose to access the service- I can.

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.

I came to realize that Seeking Alpha is unable to post accurate closing prices on a timely basis for ALL mutual funds. Thus, if you include mutual funds in your portfolio, the values will be inaccurate. I have pointed this out to Seeking Alpha and their developer, but they are unable to correct this problem.
