These guidelines are for those who want to submit a one-time guest post. If you wish to submit content on a regular basis, please read these guidelines here.
We accept guest posts and letters from small value funds (although large and non-value are fine!!) and can post the letters (if you give permission) or do stories about the content in them if we think it will be of interest to readers. See some examples here and here. We greatly appreciate legal tips.
Articles must be aimed at our buy-side hedge fund and value investing-oriented audience.
Specs for Guest Articles:
- Word Count: 400 – unlimited words, with an ideal length of 900-1,600 words. Please see our basic SEO guide here, and here is a good guide if you do not have access to WordPress.
- Photos (which you own or can prove you have rights to use on our site) are okay to send. Charts which you produce or would fall under fair use are highly encouraged.
- Include a short bio of the author.
- Include a (NO follow) link to author’s company, blog, book or whatever he/she wishes.
- Do not send us sales pitches, If you have something promotional in nature please see our advertising page
- We reserve the right to edit or reject any articles.
- The author must disclose any positions he/she holds in any securities mentioned.
- No penny stocks, ICOs, or write ups on companies which are illiquid and/or speculative in nature. Binary options, CFDs, Forex, Gambling, etc. are only accepted if US ONLY regulated.
- The content must be unique and not posted anywhere else.
- We are proudly and strictly apolitical, but for guest posts, we give a bit of leeway in terms of opinionated views.
- We do not offer compensation for these posts.
- The contributor assumes liability for any issues which arise from their content, and they attest in good faith that their content does not infringe on any copyright, trademarks etc., nor contain libelous information or violate any New Jersey, U.S. or international laws. You must abide with by all of our site terms of service and privacy policy, as well.
- The article does not need to be in a specific format, but a good example of a guest post can be found here.
- Guest posts which our readers enjoy will be featured on our Yahoo Finance Tumblr site and may be featured by our other content partners. If you do not want the piece featured elsewhere, please let us know up front.
- Corrections: We cannot spend all day doing tiny updates which many PR agencies ask of us. We don’t do updates on free guest posts unless it is our fault, it’s an actual factual mistake (according to regular people, not PR “mistakes”), or serious legal issue etc. If you need one so badly for a trivial issue, you can donate to $100 to a 501C3 of OUR choice, which may not necessarily be a cause you support. Please do not send article until it is 100% done so you do not need to ask us for any edits.
- We find that excerpts from good investment books do well among our readers. If there is a new book out and you are PR/an author/publishing house etc. and interested in posting part of the book with a link to purchase the full book, contact us!
