Do these financial journalist make money?

Eh? Why trade if you can just write articles for a living. Some people probably better off researching and writing articles with their information instead of trading with it. No risk right?
Ofcourse the downside is there is a chance you can make zero. But hey at least you can't lose money. And it sounds like a great side gig if you already have a fulltime job.
You can automate the writing of articles now. Many natural speaking, nlp, ... packages available
Doesn't matter if we like them, it matters if the Seeking Alpha folks do. Submit some stuff and give it a whirl!
They get paid per article to generate content. I wrote a few articles for seeking alpha. Their editorial process is a joke, I submitted an article about a preferred stock and the editorial feedback I got was (paraphrasing): "You didn't include why you would recommend the preferred stock over the common stock for the same issuer" in poorly written English and misusing a few terms.
Another time I submitted an article that included a spreadsheet model with past years' financial data and some projections and stock price estimates based on the projections as part of an article which was a fundamental value investment idea because "it relied too much on historical data", when my whole pitch was that the stock was cheap relative to historical metrics.

I was kidding! I should write some articles on why Trump is a genius.

That is the name of the game: content and page views. This is the metrics that advertisers want, nothing else.

Good one; they pay more for a big name mention like AMZN= to use their example. ; @ least they disclosed it. LOL
JIM Cramer/The Street notes maybe a special situation, since he worked in a better than average hedge fund ,TV + sold his public company=The Street
, No doubt there is a market for that. I'd say lock up google keywords: white sheets, tiki torches and gubmint tries to take my guns. Money will roll in.
