Great pp for tracking the financial markets
Reviewed on 30/08/2022
Pros
I am a retired small investor who finds the different analysis of the various writers fascinating. Being retired and interested in retirement income I especially enjoy the Stanford chemist, and recently signed up for a new service called Alpha Picks which I hope will be productive. I am by no means a professional but I find the tracking and screening aspects of Seeking Alpha superior to my Schwab brokerage account. I also enjoy the Quantitative Analysis section of Seeking alpha run by a quant named [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Cons
Overall the quality of the writers/analysts is very good, but I wonder how much screening is done on the authors. Overall it is excellent software

I had a problem linking an outside portfolio that uses 2-factor authentication. Support solved the problem when they discovered the one-time passcode could be entered at the end of the password.

Reviewed on 24/09/2024
Pros
One of the things I love about Seeking Alpha is the range of contributors, which includes retail investors, financial professionals, and market analysts. It all helps in making well-rounded investment decisions. The metrics are thorough as well.
Cons
Because the content is generated by a wide range of contributors, the quality of articles can vary. Some articles are well-researched, others might be based more on opinion rather than solid data.

I've been a stock investor for a little over five years, and I've been investing since I was a young man. Seeking Alpha is not only a top notch program, with lots of benefits and features, but also has wonderful customer service support, such as I just mentioned from [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. I am delighted to have Seeking Alpha!
Pros
Seeking Alpha is a wonderful tool that I use daily to analyze stocks that I may add to my portfolios. I'd highly recommend this product, and the wonderful folks, like [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who has recently helped me with a new feature. Customer service is REALLY GREAT!
Cons
I cannot say what I like LEAST; I can say that I am glad and thankful that they are working all the time to improve their product -- a new to me "health score" comes to mind.

There are a couple of authors that I follow to help me choose what stocks to invest in. One has made me a good sum of money from the articles he has written. Another I followed wrote articles about the philosophy of investing which has been a great help in my choosing my investing style.
Pros
Seeking Alpha (SA) has most statistics on individual stocks like the P/E ratio, Dividends paid and their frequency, Current earnings and future earnings. Just most of what an investor needs to be informed about a given stocks performance. It also provides access to quarterly and annual conference calls and SEC reports. It just has a plethora of information for investors, including articles written by professionals and lay people. I do recommend it as a good source of information for choosing stocks and managing a portfolio. You can also write articles and earn money/cash after they are published.
Cons
Can't really think of much wrong with the site.

Overall, I am very happy with the subscription - but sometimes I feel that am not able to do justice coz I don't use my subscription to the fullest.
Pros
Premium subscription which in itself is a huge data bank for investors and on the other hand I highly recommend the new products where they recommend the top stocks to invest(Alpha Picks) - adds great value
Cons
Too many ads and suggestions - I would personally like fewer ads which are personalized to my investment style based on my data backtrack.

Seeking Alpha "articles" have given me phenomenal ideas for investments, which I am then able to "deep research" with the SA software. This has led to solid success in my portfolios.
Pros
I LOVE the news feeds for any target company I pick, as well as investor opinions and recommendations, and THE COMMENTS following investor opinion articles.
Cons
I have ZERO complaints. The software has been flawless in use for over 3 years by me.

I was able to make substantial gains within the trial period alone! Get this product and your money will most likely be made back very quickly.
Pros
The feature that was most impactful for me was the marketplace. You can choose from various elements, from groups that will help you with commodities to those that will help your daily trade. I picked BadBeat Investing and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my trading career. Will be signing up and continuing with them as their record is excellent and so is their customer service. Very easy to understand communication so that you can get into and out of trade and will know why you are doing so. Perfect service for the newbie trader as well as seasoned.
Cons
If I had to name a feature that I liked the least, it would be the layout of the website itself. It's not bad, it could just be improved. Petty I know but there is a con and that's it.

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.
Pros
Nothing to like about this service. Articles are not designed for novice consumer although they claim otherwise. There are conflicting articles about same stock and there is no rating of reliability of data presented. It is up to you to evaluate each writer and article on your own. DO NOT subscribe.
Cons
There is everything to dislike about this service. They are unclear, unmoderated comments and not designed for naive investors. They use your credit card information and put it on auto renew without sending you a renewal email so you never know and when you tell them about this, they refuse to refund.

Awesome product features most importantly.
Aside, Baphira from SA support team attended to my query regarding expiring annual premium subscription, offered support deals to aid my circumstance in the current inflationary environment and miscellaneous payment queries, all resolved in just 1 to 2 days. Couldn't be more grateful!
Pros
Unique perspectives presented by content creators on SeekingAlpha allows me to make informed decisions.
By allowing linkage with popular trading platform like Interactive Brokers I can view my portfolio performance in quick glance.
Cons
Share price movements are not updated in real time even with premium subscriptions, would love to use SA for all my investments monitoring decisions.

I really do like Seeking Alpha and it is the best site of it's type I have found. The important thing to remember is that it is a resource and like all resources, the quality and veracity should be checked. Overall the wealth of knowledge on the Premium site is outstanding. Put a company name in and you'll have more than enough information to at least start to make a decision
Cons
I find no fault with it, if I get too many emails etc, I just filter it to the level I want. On some Marketplace services, I have found very occasionally that the provider appears disinterested but SA's response has always resolved matters fairly

I had a problem with a subscription and the assistance I received was fast and very helpful. Within a very short time they solved the problem by demonstrating a very high customer-oriented service. Seeking alpha once again proves not only to have the highest quality content on the web but also a very high quality customer support.

Seeking alpha has significant role in my investment decision. The app is very easy to use and rich of contents. . Highly recommended!
Cons
High quality content, easy of use. I suggest a calendar with the macro events of the week with the possibility of setting notifications and linked with google calendar

Why I wrote this review is because of the customer service. I purchased a year subscription. While I genuinely do love the product I simply know I won’t be using it enough over a year for the cost. Seeking alpha was still willing to refund me for the membership though it had been active for a little bit and I really appreciate that.
Pros
The interface is very easy to use and the ability to link your portfolio to see live updates is very helpful. I think the recommendations are good and the author articles are interesting.
Cons
While my brokerage is linked, every time I purchase new shares it doesn’t seem to update on seekingalpha
