I used to publish articles regularly on Seeking Alpha. I became very dissatisfied when I saw that they would allow people to post illegal and deceptive research in response to my articles. When I responded and told readers that the posts were illegal, Seeking Alpha put me on moderation. Then I looked and saw that my positive articles were not being put on third party sites such as Yahoo! While SA was putting all the short articles about this stock on these third party sites. When I complained to SA, they just stonewalled me. I believe the editors or owners of the site take positions in the stocks and then favor those authors who express a viewpoint consistent with SA's position in the stock.

Great Follow-up
September 15, 2022

I recently re-subscribed to the SA service using a different email address than the one I preferred. I placed a request with customer service to change it and they followed-up several times to make sure my request was implemented. AA++

Too early
February 4, 2022

Because of the down pattern of the market in January, the rating system of Alpha can not be verified, as I just recently subscribed. I enjoy the articles and the opinions of the writers. Hopefully, I will be able to say that I have gained financially from my subscription, but it's too early to make such an assessment.

I like the portfolio portion, how it keeps track of my stocks performance YTD. The seeking alpha research is phenomenal, especially telling you about the over all performance of the stock that's being researched. The ratings and reviews of stocks are very helpful. I love the latest news that keeps you updated about everything that has to do with stocks, the market, financial news in general. Love the information on earning reports. I like the authors as well. I'm very please with Seeking Alpha's financial knowledge, it really helps me make wise decisions when choosing a stock to buy or short for profit. The monthly payment is well worth the investment for the information you received. I believe you will receive 100,000 percent return on your money from the sound decisions you will make from such information received from Seeking Alpha.

Beware!
August 25, 2015

Used this site off and on since 2008. Beware is all that I can tell you. Got a ton of "Pumpers" that either write to Pump up or Pump down stocks for there own gain and some are part of the Seeking Alpha team writers. This site shoud be under investigation from the SEC. If I could I would shut it down today.

Hi Parker,

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

They are totally unreasonable. Charged my credit card and I called them to notify as soon as I received the charge on my statement. They said it had been over 24 hours so they couldn't do anything about it. 24 hours? I asked how I can call in 24 hours for a charge I wasn't aware of. SCAM ARTISTS. This is the company that once they get enough bad reviews changes their name and does it to people all over again. So sad.

I love seeking Alpha
July 6, 2021

It is a great site with easy-to-use recommendations on stocks and etfs. I use the rating functions very often.
I would suggest to put the sector on the portfolio list, it would be very helpful.
I am curious to learn Alpha pro but I am not sure what exactly will I get there, and the price has Factor 10. Can you elaborate?
Please give also more information on quand, the methodology I trust and follow! I want to know more about it!
Wish you luck and thank you for great service!

This site is just a mix bags of everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. I personally do not read most of them as it is just a waste of time. There are one metal Elloitt Wave guy I follow just because he is just so used to mis-inform the public, to subliminally get people to his service that I like to correct him from time to time.

ADS Analytics provides all the elements to allow an investor to learn and apply to the information provided for a rational investment strategy. Multiple spreadsheets (on Google Sheets) to cover BDCs, CEFs, Preferred Stocks, and Baby Bonds as well as real time portfolios. They also provide videos that present the features of their spreadsheets.
I would rate them 5 stars if I had more time to learn how to navigate the spreadsheets. They offer so much information in a format that is a bit challenging to simplify (KISS). Maybe with time, I'll learn to deal with the breadth of information provided. Until then, I use their portfolio choices as a reference point for my equity/bond choices.

Outstanding Service!
April 14, 2022

I had requested some help changing my primary email address as I will be retiring and losing access to the current email. I couldn't figure out how to do it online so I sent a request for help to Customer Service. I was contacted the very next day (wow!) about what I was requesting and how they were going to take care of it for me, and was that ok? It was and I approved, next day, Voila! It was done and everything was great again. This kind of service is very unusual and I really appreciate it when it happens to me. Thanks to SA for everything, oh yea, also the fantastic research and recommendations for all us as investors.

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for your message and we apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding.

Our records show that you had subscribed to the Annual subscription via our website on June 09,2021 and thus you were charged an annual fee. However, you had a monthly subscription signed up via Apple for which you were directly charged via Apple on two occasions, on April 08,2021 and May 08,2021.

As you may be aware that credit card charges do not materialize before becoming a part of your monthly statement, the charges may have appeared on your card a month or 2 following and now due for payment. You may also contact your credit card provider to check the original transaction date of the charges in question.

Furthermore, please be informed there are no other charges associated with your Seeking Alpha account.

In case you need any help with your account or subscription please write to us at subscriptions@seekingalpha.com. We'll be glad to help!

Super Informed and Up to date. FULL STOP!

Seeking Alpha's Membership has turned my amateur day trading into a more skillful, informed trader. The daily updates on my portfolio, the ability to see my entire portfolio in one place, and hot tips and articles on stocks that could be manful to me has really helped my game! Strong growth in 2021 based on this knowledge. Portfolio consolidation and ease of seeing everything in one place ( I have several accounts in several brokerages and banks, has made me smarter for sure.

Doing research for a school paper and in the middle of reading a publish article the site blocks me and requires that I register for an account. They want my email address and require that I sign up for at LEAST 5 stock profiles. I'm in school what do I care about stock profiles. Are they that hard up for cash that they need my email address for sale? Sites that require my email address for school research are untrustworthy in my book.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for any inconvenience.

In order to continue providing our users with outstanding financial analysis and news, we changed our Paywall policy in January 2021.

You can read more about this change here: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4396836-important-update-for-seeking-alpha-users

There is a monthly limit to how much you can read. This limit is dynamic to the individual member, based on the device they use, the traffic source, and a number of other parameters. It resets itself every 28 days.

If you want to keep reading past the limit, you can start your free-trial of Seeking Alpha Premium. Premium, apart from providing you unlimited access to analysis articles also provides you with many other powerful tools that can help you with your investing. You can get an overview of the service here. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4295333-seeking-alpha-premium-overview

These bunch of THUGS praying on financially naive people. They renew subscriptions without sending you a notice so you never know of renewal until when the statement comes and if you reach out to them as soon as you come to know of charge, they site baloney agreement clause and refuse to refund. NEVER Subscribe.
