SteadyShares vs Seeking Alpha
Seeking Alpha is a publishing platform with data attached. We are a data product with writing attached. That difference explains almost everything.
Seeking Alpha has vastly more written coverage than we do. It is also a platform where anybody can publish, and the quality varies enormously.
Where Seeking Alpha is better
Thousands of contributors covering individual companies in depth. For a specific mid-cap you are researching, they will almost certainly have something and we will not.
Genuinely useful, and we do not offer it.
Broad, systematic and updated constantly.
Where we are better
A platform where anyone can publish about a stock they own is a platform with an obvious conflict, and the disclosure is a line of small print. Our numbers come from SEC filings and our method is on the page.
Most of Seeking Alpha's value sits behind a subscription. Everything we publish is free.
Our research pages carry the limitations in the same size type as the findings. That is rare anywhere, and unheard of on a platform paid per click.
If you want deep written coverage of a specific company, and transcripts, they have far more of it.
If you want the raw filings analysed honestly, free, with the method shown.
