Seeking Alpha Offers Free Conference Call Transcripts

Posted on January 18, 2006

The Seeking Alpha blog network has added free conference call transcripts from 400 companies to its network of stock blogs. Companies normally charge for these transcripts. NewYorkBusiness.com reported Seeking Alpha was planning this in an article from earlier this week.

Seeking Alpha founder David Jackson, a former Morgan Stanley telecommunications analyst, said he has hired a team to transcribe the calls, which often contain useful nuggets of information from corporate management teams but also take a long time to listen to. Mr. Jackson says he expects to have a transcript available on his Web site within six hours after the conference call is completed.

The conference call transcripts can be found here. These are not only useful for investors but they should contain interesting information for bloggers to comb through as well. David Jackson, the founder of Seeking Alpah, wants bloggers to cover the transcripts. He says, "you may quote up to 400 words of any transcript on the condition that you attribute the transcript to Seeking Alpha and link to www.SeekingAlpha.com."
