HI there,

Thanks for reaching out! 

In order to continue providing our users with outstanding financial analysis and news, we changed our Paywall policy in January 2021.

You can read more about this change here: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4396836-important-update-for-seeking-alpha-users

The good news is that you can still access any article on any stock, even without a paid subscription, though there is a monthly limit to how much you can read.

This limit is dynamic to the individual member, based on the device they use, the traffic source, and a number of other parameters. It resets itself every 28 days.

If you want to keep reading past the limit, you can just go ahead and start your free two-week trial of Seeking Alpha Premium - no commitment required.

Premium, apart from providing you unlimited access to analysis articles also provides you with many other powerful tools that can help you with your investing. You can get an overview of the service here.


Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

You say "It resets itself every 28 days". Does that mean I shouldn't try to access articles for 28 days? I have been trying to access an article for what seems like more than 28 days. The article limit seems very arbitrary and confusing. Can't you just give people x amount of articles per month and let them figure out what to read?

My real user name is STLBeanCounter. Somehow a 2nd profile apparently got accidentally created as STLBeanCounterl. Everytime I try to edit out the extra character, I get a message that the edited user name is unavailable.

They don’t have to offer any articles for free.
