Seeking Alpha Stock Market Email Alerts FAQ

The timing of the E Mails should not be determined by "waiting for important content" and "getting e mails out early" E Mails should be turned around as news is received by Seeking Alpha. What may appear as important content is a matter of perspective or as being early is objective and is not possible from where you stand. This is a common problem with all financial e mail elerts. Case in point, China ADR's, whereby the Chinese made a major announcement effecting such, inturn the stocks went up by dollar amounts and wasn't reported by e mail alert (not by Alpha) until the market closed the same day. To late to be of any use, if I had known a lot of money could have been made. I'm sure the powers that be knew of it in time to make a few bucks. The little guy with no real connections loses out again. Hope Alpha gets better response time, the Pony Express is history, if Alpha doesn't get it right, so too will they.
