If you can get access I recommend reading the Barrons article on seeking alpha.

It was an eye opener to see in print what we all know.



I know - no link - it links out my subscription

Seeking Alpha growth

Articles written by self directed investors

250 articles a day

Troubling press in recent weeks

Lack of editorial standards

Removing favorable articles of stock that ended up tanking

Writers approached by companies to write favorable articles

Pros cons of anonymity in financial journalism

Hammers away at stay at home investors or college student writers

Seeking alpha working to improve site quality

Isn't Seeking Alpha the Bleacher Report of the financial world?

I'd say that's zero hedge.

To offer an alternative perspective, I find this interesting as well.

Study shows Seeking Alpha has better stock predicting abilities than Wall Street.

Barron's digital subscription from today:

Headline "Big Bank Stock Rally Looks a Wobbly on Charts"

Sub article on front page of iPad digital edition from today "Buy Bank of America"

So basically, Barron's wrote a hit piece on an admittedly inferior competitor, but still a competitor nonetheless.

I like SeekingAlpha but I'll admit I only read the conference call transcripts on earnings reports. I think it's safe to assume that all sources of analysis are suspect and that the retail investors are best to do their own reasearch, but that's just me.
