Seeking Alpha is a US quant data provider for stock picking
Seeking Alpha is one of several quant data services. It is U.S. based and does not deal with foreign stocks unless traded on a U.S. exchange. It rates stocks from a high of strong buy to a low of strong sell, with a numerical score up to 4.99. Its flagship service at extra cost is Alpha Picks, begun on 7/1/2021 which forthrightly sets out its performance, which is excellent, over 400% gain against under 100% for the S&P 500. With AP one is expected to buy a new stock on the 1st and 15th of each month (or the next trading day). Seeking Alpha itself is a forum for paid and free advisors and commenters as well as a quant evaluator. There is some secrecy to how its ratings are calculated. Stockopedia, a UK quant data provider with a worldwide focus has a different methodology and its ratings may conflict with SA/AP. Furthermore certain sectors to not lend themselves to useful ranking and some famous multibaggers have low ranks. Forums on both those services allow users to express grievances, make suggestions, and share tips. I can recommend either or both as against any advisory service or any broker or advisor who charges 1% and leaves the customer with gains not much different from an index fund. Both services also provide guidance and help in selecting ETFs.
