Seeking Alpha Reviews Summary
The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with some customers praising its extensive financial information and valuable insights, particularly for small-cap investments. However, significant concerns persist regarding customer service, particularly in handling subscription cancellations and refunds. Many users report dissatisfaction with auto-renewal practices and a lack of responsive support, leading to feelings of frustration and distrust. Additionally, the perceived quality of content has been criticized, with claims of biased analysis and unreliable contributors. Overall, while the service offers useful resources, its customer service approach requires substantial improvement to enhance user satisfaction.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
Key points for me:
- the articles of the authors on the various stocks
- the possibility to exchange comments with other SA subscribers
I am not sure if I am using this site to the fullest! I read news articles, but usually after they have happened! Advantage is another software but gives news on stocks they heard insider news!

Am new subscriber and find 3/5 of all articles very informative, high quality (though as usual: caveat emptor) and trustworthy writers.
Keeps me informed/updated on a higher level than with any other source of info.

I have subscribed to several newsletters. Some of which are much more expensive than Seeking Alpha…but none is better.
Thanks.

The experience has been good however I would certainly like Seeking Alpha to be more global as i find many of my Asian stocks missing in the list. Also wanted some good functionalities like what is my dividend payout in a year which is also missing.

Overall SA is great for US equities. I wish it covered all equities in the world and gave more insight into why the quant system is rating a particular stock well or not.

Having just read some of the "critics" I must demur. Their rage is hyperbolic and therefore, untrustworthy.
If, for example, you had followed the advice of the Fear and Greed writer you would be very successful. Same goes for Jani Ziedins. You pick your advisor you take your losses or profits accordingly. At least here you are exposed to a vast range of opinions.
On the minus side, I do find that it is annoying to be excluded once I have used up my 2 articles (I am not a subscriber) but then I have long ago worked out who to pick for a valuable read so it is not such a problem.
To those of you who still want to rant I advise reading Karl Popper, one of the most interesting logicians and philosophers who ever lived, next only to Aristotle. He will give you a more sober approach to the critique of others' work. In veritate locuti sumus ad iram. Oliver

Enjoy the focus on income and analysis of the various alternative investments that are not covered elsewhere. It's very hard to find coverage on CEF'S, BDC's, REITs, MLPs... That are covered on a regular basis by your knowledgeable authors.

I have been following many of the writers on seeking alpha for many years. I recently became a premium member and use the information everyday. It gives me perspective on stocks from several authors with different opinions which I find very useful when I am evaluating purchasing a new position. I use this in combination with other services including Stansberry, Oxford Club, Sure Dividend and Kiplinger.

All the information needed for traiding is immediately available and clear. In depth analysis of any equity, REIT or ETF. Only missing the ability to track foreign markets.

The single biggest tool in my toolbox for stock ideas and research is this site. The authors that I follow always have great stocks to look at and I have learned more about how to research a stock and more about the workings of the macro economy than anywhere else. I'll be a subscriber forever.
