My First Article Was Published on Seeking Alpha!

If you have followed me for some time then you know I am always looking for new ways to make money by side-hustles. I was especially eager to try a side-hustle using the skills I have learned writing my articles for Steemit and my passion for investing and finance.

To that end, I became registered to be a contributing author for https://SeekingAlpha.com - a major financial article website. Today my first article was published!

It is about the specialty chemical and lithium miner, Albemarle. The stock price has risen too far, too fast and is far above any historical price to earnings comparison.

If you are interested here is a tidbit and link to it (There is a really good chart to show you what I mean about the price):
<hr>

<em>In my analysis, I show that Albemarle is greatly overvalued, likely in a bubble, and is a strong sell.

Albemarle has a wide portfolio of specialty chemicals, including lithium, but is being valued as if it were a pure play lithium producer.

Even with growth rates around 20% it will take years for earnings to catch up to the current price. Don't fall for the hype of the herd.

Rising lithium prices have created a bull run in lithium producers since early 2016. With Albemarle (ALB) being one of the world's largest lithium producers, it comes as no surprise that its stock price has risen as well.

Its stock price has increased from about $53 in January of 2016 to over $123 on August 7th, 2017. My analysis shows that it has risen far above any reasonable valuation and is now a strong sell. </em>

Don't worry Steemit, I am not leaving. Just branching out on my side-hustles and learning different things.

Thanks! I wrote an article for them before but it was turned down. I am thinking whether to make changes or to post here instead. But I know Steemit doesn't care too much for stock market talks, only crypto. :)

Cool deal man!   Book sales, meh.  Some, but hopefully some more in coming weeks, kicking off email campaign to all the leads I picked up past few months.

I haven't been on seeking alpha since listening to poor research on MLPs a few years back.  Got hit hard on those, real hard.  You article has gotten me to go back.  Damn you ...lol ;-)

That's brilliant! I was just thinking of starting an investing blog focused on emerging markets in Asia, where i'm based. Would you recommend writing for Seek Alpha instead of a standalone blog in terms of earnings?

If you have your own blog it would take quite a lot of time and self-promotion to start earning what you could on Seeking Alpha.  But you would own it 100%, and that has its own advantages. Your personal blog could end up doing very well,  earning you more than what writing for Seeking Alpha could. 

You can always start with Seeking Alpha and see where it goes from there. All the best! :D

Awesome news, my friend! But again, not in the least bit surprising. I have never failed to be stunned by your intelligent ways of manipulating finance and growing your account. It's a testament to your overall skills as an investor and adviser. 

Very well done with your article, sir! Keep on pushing those heights! :)
