Welcome readers of the Wall Street Journal Sunday Edition and Institutional Investor!
Here’s a quick summary of how to use Seeking Alpha:

● What Is Seeking Alpha?

Seeking Alpha, a network of finance blogs, filters and aggregates the best stock market-related content available and presents it in sectorized and tickerized format for easy access.

Blogs react faster to news than traditional media, and are often more opinionated — making them critical sources of information for fund managers and savvy investors. The challenge is distilling the useful from the useless. That’s our job.

● Four Ways to Use Seeking Alpha

1. View all the headlines from our 23 sites at SeekingAlpha.com.
2. Find news or analysis on a particular stock by entering its ticker symbol in the search box on any Seeking Alpha site (top left of the page).
3. Research a sector or topic by reading a particular site in the network. The most popular sites in the Seeking Alpha Network are ETF Investor (the most comprehensive analysis of ETFs and closed-end funds on the Web), The Internet Stock Blog, The Consumer Electronics Stock Blog and The China Stock Blog.
4. Read conference call transcripts. You can view the alphabetical list of transcripts, check for the latest transcripts, or view an earnings calendar with upcoming transcripts.
