I’d like to thank the editors at Seeking Alpha for inviting me to become a contributing author. That just means that they can republish any investing or market-related articles I write here on Balance Junkie over on Seeking Alpha. If you’re not familiar with Seeking Alpha, but are interested in the markets, investing, or economics, it’s a great way to gain access to a lot of information and opinions all at once. I like it because I can quickly find both sides of any debate articulated very nicely.
Whether you’re new to investing, you’re an avid market-watcher, or you just want to take a more active role in managing your money, you may want to browse through the articles and see what you can learn. I’m new to Seeking Alpha, both as a contributor and a user, so I’m still learning about all that the site has to offer. There are tons of articles for you to read, comment on, or retweet if you so desire. You can choose to follow any contributors that you like and you can customize the information you see according to your investing interests. It’s free to use and free to join.
I will continue to write on a variety of topics here at Balance Junkie. You’ll still find articles on basic personal finance, investing and life balance as well as more in depth market analysis. I hope you enjoy the variety of information. If you want to follow me on Seeking Alpha, you can click on the logo and it will take you to my author page. (For the record, I don’t receive any compensation from SA for my contributions, other than the exposure it provides for Balance Junkie.)
As always, I welcome your comments. I would also be curious to know if any of you already frequent SA and have any thoughts you want to share.
Congratulations on joining SA. Be prepared for the comments to be a little more rough and tumble. And of course you can’t screen or edit them.
Thanks Larry. I have to admit to feeling a bit out of my league, but I guess anytime you utter an opinion publicly, you’re probably going to get lambasted by someone -although I have to say that I have never received a comment here at BJ that I needed to delete or edit due to impropriety (yet).
As for the market cowboys, bring ‘em on. I can take it. (I think.
)
Seeking Alpha is actually my homepage and is how I start every morning – I simply find it more convenient to follow all those I like to read on one site rather than dozens.
While commenters often debate each other, by far the majority of them remain thoughtful and respectful. In fact, overall I find the comments left on SA to be at a far more intellectual level than most sites. The site attracts a much higher caliber of readers than other financial sites.
Congratulations on such a prestigious group!
Thanks very much Barry. It sounds like you’ve had a good experience with Seeking Alpha. I hope I can contribute some useful content there.
Congrats on getting the invite! Will they pay you, or is this a mutual thing you guys have agreed on to gain exposure?
Thanks Mr. Samurai. There’s no pay. I just get the exposure on a site with a lot more viewers than I get on my own.
