I've been using Seeking Alpha for many years and more recently upgraded to the pro edition.
People ask if it's worth it. The answers is of course. This is a place where we can learn about what's the thinking behind fellow traders and not just analysts from the big companies.

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.

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.

Inaccurate Data
May 4, 2023

I came to realize that Seeking Alpha is unable to post accurate closing prices on a timely basis for ALL mutual funds. Thus, if you include mutual funds in your portfolio, the values will be inaccurate. I have pointed this out to Seeking Alpha and their developer, but they are unable to correct this problem.

SeekingAlpha is my most used single information source on individual stocks. I learn as much from the comments as I do from the contributors. They are often people with deep experience of the sectors, industries and companies whose stocks they comment on.

I like Seeking Alpha, they have great customer service on the rare occasion that there is a query. I have found for me as a private investor, Premium is the best choice, allows access to articles and content. The Free part is okay but to be fair limited.
Over the years I have on and off subscribed to various paid subscriptions and some have been okay but none that tempted me to stay indefinitely. I did ok in 2021 by following a few Tech based ideas but be careful as ultimately it is a subscribers own call as to how to play things, there are a few "model portfolio" subs but actually the SA picks is just as good. I imagine there are some very good paid sub providers but I have enough with Premium and SA picks.
Clearly there are competing websites but to date I haven't felt the need to move even after having a look. There are active contributors on articles and often more is got from that then the article itself.
Overall it's the only sub I consistently stick with allowing for the fact I may sign up to other paid services on SA now and again.

Any income investor would benefit from the High Dividend Opportunities service, the level of research and recommendations are unmatched in my opinion. Rida Morwa and his team are top notch and provide continuous market commentary as well as income based recommendations. The Model Portfolio Spreadsheet provides all the details needed to get started on a path to becoming an income investor.

I subscribed for the first time in early March 2023. Seeking Alpha Pro always keeps me updated on the market outlook, my portfolio, breaking news, what stocks are worth looking at, etc. Also, one gets a detailed analysis of individual stocks from various analysts. It helps a lot to assess each stock. Daily emails. I am very satisfied, and I highly recommend Seeking Alpha Pro.

I'm new to SA premium and so far I like what I see. The site is well organized and provides useful and actionable information that one might normally have to visit many sites to obtain. Support has been super responsive too. Since anyone can be an author, I wish it were easier to learn about an author's qualifications and experience. Currently, you can click on their name and read but what is provided is not uniform across authors. A welcome format might include, education, certifications (e.g CFA) experience in investing and in what areas, if applicable, size of portfolio managed, etc.".
