villainx Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Seeking Alpha could be better, but it's better than almost any option or there is no other option like it. If they are putting more stuff behind paywall ... could mean there's trouble with their business? And as bad as some of their articles and commenters are, losing SA, or substantially scaled down SA, would be net negative. Sure, if the business is indeed in trouble, it could be of their own doing - bad articles/commenters. But it's great to have more investing voices. On the other hand, may be their business is doing fantastic, and they believe more folks would traverse the paywall, in which case ... more sign we are in a bubble?

TBW Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I didn't realize that SA was changing when I posted my article. I posted more out of curiousity, I wanted to see what it was like, understand their business model, different options etc. In theory it is a huge mass of interested readers in financial content. I wanted to see what engaging with that was like. I actually really like SA. Yes the articles are mostly garbage, however there have been some excellent ones from time to time. The transcripts are great too. What I really like is being able to read a halfway decent article and see what the comments have to say. I think this is super valuable. It is shocking how off-the-mark and 'besides the point' alot of these comments are. I think the comments provides great insight into what some investors are thinking, and how irrational the market can be. It would be a shame if it is changing up as much as you say.

mwtorock Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yeah, i used to read through all the short articles on SA when working on a long idea. but now just the latest transcripts... >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nell-e Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 They're price discriminating. I noticed SA's bullshit paywall several months ago. At first, they were giving notifications that it was $75 per month. I ignored it. Now they're offering me the same package for $20 per month.

bbarberayr Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm seeing a lot of the earnings call transcripts on Yahoo Finance for free. For example - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-voya-earnings-conference-194246411.html Good catch on using the App to see older articles - I wonder how long that will last.

rkbabang Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I haven't noticed anything different about seekingalpha. At least the way I use it it is the same. I have them email me articles about the tickers that I'm interested in. And I click on the articles I wish to read from their emails. So far they have never emailed me about an article behind a paywall. I don't know if they are only free for limited time and disappear later though. I don't usually go directly to their website to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually receive emails with the transcripts from seekingalpha for the tickers for which I get alerts on. Come to think of it, I haven't received any lately. Hmm.

racemize Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Conference call transcripts are typically free at the beginning, and then they go behind the pay wall later. I just PDF anything I like from SA before it goes behind a paywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I noticed that if I commented on an article I could still access it through the comments link after it had gone behind the paywall. I still had full access through this backdoor. Not sure if they "fixed the glitch", because I don't comment often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjs111 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The Motley Fool has conference call transcripts. They're a bit hidden. I'm trying to see if they can unhide them a bit. For example, here's Apple's most recent conference call transcript: https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2018/02/01/apple-inc-appl-q1-2018-earnings-conference-call-tr.aspx If you go to fool.com, type in AAPL in the search bar on the right hand side of the main page. That will take you to the Fool's stock page for that company. On the right hand side again, go to "Overview" and scroll down to "News and Headlines." Unfortunately at that point you have to scroll through all sorts of news items to get to the transcript. Hopefully with SA going up behind a paywall a small amount of convincing could be done to get The Fool to separate out the transcripts as a separate item.

mjs111 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I talked to people at Motley Fool and the transcripts are a new thing for them, still in beta. They're working on fleshing it out more, and aim to have them more robustly supported in the near future, so watch that space. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
