I signed up over a year ago and during that that time I asked numerous questions and in retrospect some appeared to be repeats. However, much to my surprise every question I asked was answered and shockingly the staff followed up to find out if my question were fully addressed. To state I surprised would be putting it mildly. I have never seen such service from a financial newsletter. This feature alone is well worth the monthly fee they charge especially for a novice trader.

For example I had a lot of questions on their selection methodology; they divide their money into 3 lots and only one lot is deployed at a time. I could not understand this process fully at the beginning but they stuck with me until i understood it fully. They walked me to through 3 examples just to make sure I understood everything.

I also wanted more insights into mass psychology and they responded immediately with the appropriate links. These are just two examples out of many.

But its not just the customer service that is outstanding the service itself is exceptional. It took me a bit of time to get used to the new way of looking at the markets but these guys understand market psychology very well. On just two plays I locked in gains of over 100% in less than 5 months. One of the stocks was VIPS

Overall, this is a great service especially for the novice player as they teach how to look at the markets from a different angle. One of the key lessons they teach you is to never let fear do the talking and boy what a great lesson this has proven to be.

I will continue my subscription for the foreseeable future

Tip for consumers:
Before asking questions you can save yourself a lot of time by going through the links they provide in the welcome package. Additionally a lot of the questions can be answered by using the search option on the site

I would not pay for this service as you can get a lot of the stuff they offer from free at finviz.com and simillar sites. However, the free options can provide you with general information and then its up to you to dig deeper.

Most of the authors are completely clueless the only talent they seem to have is to be bombastic when they put pen to paper. There used to several good writers that I used to follow back in 2011 and 2012 and they all left. I asked them why, the reason was simple, SA was forcing them to focus on garbage and did not let them use Technical analysis or give them room to express themselves in their unique way. What ticked me off was these authors were the few that were right consistently and yet SA found a way to drive them away.

Secondly when you comment you have to comment like a good little boy if you don't your comments are taken down.

And the biggest insult is the almost $200 a month charge for their premium service, which can only be labelled as "premium crap". I speak from experience i took the annual membership (as I knew there was a 30 day free cancellation period) and I cancelled in less than 9 days so that tells you how great this service is. It took 5 days to get my refund back.

Overall you can do a lot better by paying for subscriptions from other sites that are 5X cheaper and 10X better

Hi Johnathan,

Thanks for your note and we apologize for any misunderstanding.

We strive to ensure all our articles are factually correct but we do not keep any biases towards anybody's opinion. Authors are allowed to publish bullish/bearish articles on stocks that are long/short (respectively), providing they disclose their bias. Active investors with "skin in the game" often have some of the most articulate opinions on a stock, and we encourage them to publish their opinions on Seeking Alpha.

If you find a Seeking Alpha article containing a material factual inaccuracy, you can dispute it using the following steps:

Submit a dispute by emailing disputes@seekingalpha.com. Please be sure to include a link to the article under dispute in addition to the above information.
Identify precisely which section of the article you dispute (quoting the text), and provide supporting evidence of your claim that the article is materially wrong.
(Please do not use the dispute process to disagree with the author. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion about a stock; that's what makes a market.)

In any case, please always feel free to write to us at subscriptions@seekingalpha.com

Best,

The free information is literally useless and every article is nothing but a trap to try to lure to pay for something equally meaningless. If you buy one product they keep pushing you to buy more. I tried their service and cancelled during the grace period and believe it took several attempts to get that so-called risk free trial cancelled. The paid information was worthless, you could do as well by going to yahoofinance and we all know that place is a swamp

Once upon a time this site was okay but now there are so many ads I can't even bother to finish a story

The free charts are great here. Wish they would allow for more than 5 year charts without charging a fee, but other than that gripe I would have to say the charts are pretty good and the option to make them large is great

Their products are great, and prices are excellent. So if you know what you are looking for, this is a great place to shop
