Joined, and got barraged with up-sells. Worse, the stocks recommendations seem to be written for teenagers. I feel there is very little research presented with each recommendation... I've seen FAR better data on why to buy a stock on Seeking Alpha by people who don't even own the stock. Most of the recommendations I've seen don't even provide the P/E, let alone the many other metrics by which one measures a stock.

We appreciate your opinion regarding our analysis, but we respectfully disagree. When our analysts recommend a stock, they provide an abundance of information as to why they consider that company a buy. This information includes but is not limited to: a short summary of the company and what it does, a few bullet points as to why you should buy, key data about the company, potential risks, and much more. In addition to the short "minute summary" of a company, our analysts provide a more detailed report for why that company is considered a good buy.
Additionally, our members can also log into Fool.com and use the "Search Ticker or Keyword" box in the upper left-hand corner to read more about the latest guidance for a particular stock. Simply type in a company name or ticker symbol and select it from the drop-down menu that appears. This will take you to the stock's Snapshot page, which includes a graph of the trends, reports, articles, and the latest guidance for your service(s).
