Seeking Alpha is a crowd-sourced content platform that produces financial market news. It is available through a website and a mobile app. Users must pay a subscription fee to access the content after a free trial period. Almost the majority of the articles published by the service are written by independent writers, usually from the purchase side, and are paid based on how many subscribers access their articles. Its emphasis on communal contribution distinguishes it from other subscription services. The content is contributed by both professional and inexperienced financial counselors.

Seeking Alpha is accused of serving as a forum for market manipulators. Because of Seeking Alpha's prominence, some investors use it to manipulate the market to their advantage. To accomplish this, they often broadcast excessively negative news or analysis about a company and its stock, advising readers to sell existing shares and not acquire any new shares, resulting in a quick decrease in the stock price as readers rush to sell their shares. They anticipate that this will result in a reduced entry price for them to purchase the stock in the near future and that they will profit once their biased and distorted piece is refuted. Some other investors will short the stock before publishing their unfavorable piece, earning from both the immediate drop in the stock price and its following near-future rise by recovering possession at a cheaper price.

This membership is completely free and requires only an email address. It's the best option for investors who are still learning about investing because it gives them limited access to content. The biggest advantage of Alpha Premium is access to exclusive material. Alpha Premium articles frequently contain vital information that general-audience articles do not.
