Guidelines for article acceptance
For U.S. market investors
Write about a stock, sector, ETF or theme that are actionable to U.S.-based investors.
Fundamental, opinionated and logical
Address the company’s competitive environment, management, products, corporate strategy, earnings outlook, valuation and/or balance sheet. We appreciate informed opinion based on rigorous analysis presented clearly. We welcome ‘long cases’ and ‘short cases’ for stocks, but make sure you provide sound, in-depth reasoning for your positions.
Disclosure
All articles must contain in the footer a disclosure statement letting the reader know if you hold any positions in the stocks mentioned. If you don’t have a position, please mention that as well.
Uniqueness
If you are writing about well-covered issues, bring a new perspective that others may have missed.
Brevity
We prefer submissions that are no longer than 1,000 words. Articles running 2,500 words and longer should be broken into two or more parts for publication.
Grammatical
If your submission requires heavy copy editing, in all likelihood we won’t be able to publish it.
Be known
Providing your real identity builds credibility. We do, however, publish material under a pseudonym.
The human factor
We strive to consistently select the best articles submitted for consideration. Above, we have outlined guidelines that hopefully illuminate some of the factors involved in our decision process.
In the end, however, the selection of articles and Editors’ Picks is highly discretionary, and can be impacted by many factors including: our editorial resources on a given day; the number of articles addressing similar themes; the timeliness of the topic; and a sense of how much a given article adds to the discussion.
We strive to maintain an open and constructive dialog with our contributors. But we are regretfully unable to provide detailed explanations about why a certain article was or wasn’t accepted, or made an Editors’ Pick.
