Whois & Analysis for seekingalpha.com

Seeking Alpha is a crowd-sourced content service for financial markets.

Articles and research covers a broad range of stocks, asset classes, ETFs and investment strategies.

In contrast to other equity research platforms, insight is provided by contributor base of investors and industry experts (buy side) rather than sell side.

Seeking Alpha was founded in 2004 by former Wall Street analyst David Jackson.

The company reports it has distribution partnerships with MSN Money, CNBC, Yahoo! Finance, MarketWatch, NASDAQ and TheStreet, although Yahoo Finance ended its relationship with Seeking Alpha on July 28, 2014.

A stock market, equity market or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) of stocks (also called shares), which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.

Examples of the latter include shares of private companies which are sold to investors through equity crowdfunding platforms.

Stock exchanges list shares of common equity as well as other security types, e.g. corporate bonds and convertible bonds.

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks.

An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds, and trades close to its net asset value over the course of the trading day.

Most ETFs track an index, such as a stock index or bond index.

ETFs may be attractive as investments because of their low costs, tax efficiency, and stock-like features.

By 2013, ETFs were the most popular type of exchange-traded product.

Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments.

It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different degrees of uncertainty and risk.

Finance can also be defined as the science of money management.

Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level and their expected rate of return.

Finance can be broken into three different sub-categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.

Financial statement analysis (or financial analysis) is the process of reviewing and analyzing a company's financial statements to make better economic decisions.
