Useless information. Plus if you disagree with an article they delete your comment. They published an article from a guy who hated gay people and used this to trash Enbridge. Was some sort of religious values investor. The fact that they would give a platform to people like this is unreal.

Customer Service
April 25, 2022

When creating my short bio in the profile section, I experienced a technical problem. Using the on-line help tool, I was put in touch with Sri in technical support. Sri and the Tech Team worked through the issue and kept me up to date on their progress. Within a short period of time the issue was resolved and I was able to complete my bio.
Great customer service and technical support!

Clickbait is NOT COOL!
October 2, 2021

I am a DIY investor, a researcher, and consumer of a vast amount of investment info. Seeking Alpha popped up as a resource. I read a few articles and was flagged that subscription was required to continue. I don't object to this. What I find deceitful and harassing is to get several emails a day teasing the title of an article in Seeking Alpha. When I click on it, there's the title and link to subscribe to have access to the article. This is an unacceptable business practice. I will never become a Seeking Alpha subscriber because of this. There are many alternative investment resources far more ethical than this.

This site is a complete joke and let's not only inaccurate information in its articles but also allows it's articles to contain cartoon characters. The publisher appears to pick a dog in the heated exchanges and then deletes and or bans you from the site so that their side is given more press. Stay far away from this site.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your note and apologies for it took us this long to reach back to you.

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 Seeking Alpha Team

Good and bad experiences with Seeking Alpha
April 4, 2022

I like your warnings in my portfolio, it saved me from some losses, can see valuations of my stocks at once.

Quant Score left a bitter taste in my mouth, I bought PW with the best score: 5, a couple of months ago and my stocks lost 45% of value.

The articles of your affiliates are great, they are quite neutral and objective, with a lot of added value.

Hi Isaac,

Thank you so much for taking a moment to review us.:)

We're glad to hear that our Portfolio tracking feature is hitting the mark for you.

Please note, Seeking Alpha’s Quant Ratings are an objective, unemotional evaluation of each stock based on data, such as the company’s financial statements, the stock’s price performance, and analysts’ estimates of the company’s future revenue and earnings. Over 100 metrics for each stock are compared to the same metrics for the other stocks in its sector. The stock is then assigned a rating (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Sell, or Strong Sell), and a score (from 1.0 to 5.0, where 1.0 is Strong Sell and 5.0 is Strong Buy).

Seeking Alpha grades each stock by five “factors” -- Value, Growth, Profitability, Momentum and EPS Revisions. These factor Grades provide investors with an instant characterization of each stock. This makes it easy to find or rule out stocks based on your investment criteria.

For investors wanting to do more research, the Quant Ratings and Factor Grades provide a springboard for further research. You can quickly see where a stock is strong or weak, and with one click you can view the underlying data and sector averages to perform your own evaluation.

Know more about Quant ratings using the following link - https://feedback.seekingalpha.com/en/knowledge-bases/2/articles/58339-quant-ratings-and-factor-grades-faq

I'm subscribed to some premium SA services. Unfortunately their chat software is faulty, it keeps freezing during the time of any significant market volatility. Usually that's the best time to take/exit trades.
Last chat was faulty AGAIN (failures come on a regular basis, that is easy to confirm by monitoring their forums) and I missed trade alerts and that resulted in me occuring a financial loss.
I contacted SA support and requested a compensation. Unfortunately that request was refused and I wasn't granted even any sort of promo code. Company took completely ZERO responsibility of their faulty service. Lack of compensation was described as a normal business practice not to compensate on minor outages. SHAME ON

Hi Mat,

Thanks for your feedback. And apologies for any inconvenience caused to you.

It is always our endeavor to provide you the best user-experience. Our teams work effortlessly to make sure that we deliver you a error-free experience at all times.

If any unforeseen errors may arise and as soon as it comes to our attention, our concerned teams are notified immediately, they prioritize and come up with a fix within hours if not earlier.

On the day of occurrence of the issue with the chat, from the onset of the glitch we deployed a fix before much time had passed. The author of your subscription - 'Predictive Analytic Models', also understanding the criticality of the situation redirected his subscribers to an external chat as an alternative, the link was shared on his subscription page under 'Latest' section and can still be found.

That been said, we understand it still must have been an inconvenience.

An excellent service!
July 5, 2021

I read Seeking Alpha every day. It's just a great market service... both educational and profitable for me. I love Seeking Alpha! And after several years of subscription I still have a lot of promising features to explore. The long and short is that it is so useful that it actually saves me money, since I don't have to subscribe to a bunch of other market letters and services.

Top Stocks on Seeking Alpha Premium
May 21, 2023

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.

To think they charge 200$ a months for a premium service is ridicul, many time i will expose an author for is article only to get erase right away because the author will not accept to be criticise and it's a very powerful proof of how bias seeking alpha is, they don't deserve to be trusted. Lots of better ways to blow your money imo

Best financial site
