I’ve mentioned the great earnings conference call transcripts from Seeking Alpha before, but wanted to remind readers again that you can get earnings conference call listings every day.  In an email to me from David Jackson (founder of Seeking Alpha) over a year ago he had this to say:

 "One of my ambitions for a long time has been to “democratize “the conference call transcript market. So I started publishing conference call transcripts on Seeking Alpha last quarter. This quarter, I’m massively stepping up the project. I’ve hired a company to transcribe companies’ calls so that I can get them up within 6 hours of the end of the call, and I’m planning to publish the transcripts of about 400 leading companies over the next few weeks. The accuracy is outstanding."

He’s also allowing bloggers to quote large portions of the transcripts entirely free.  ".. you can now quote from transcripts on your blog when writing about stocks and companies. CCBN doesn’t allow reproduction without their permission, and if you do quote you can’t point your readers to the full transcript because it’s not on the Web. I’m allowing 400 word quotes immediately, and if you want to quote more you can email me to ask. The only condition is that when you quote from a transcript you cite Seeking Alpha as the source and link to http://seekingalpha.com/ "

Since this project was begun, many more earnings conference call transcripts have been added with more on the way if the demand is there I’m sure.  Go get the best free listing of earnings conference call transcripts (you can even be notified of new transcripts through your rss reader with the RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/seekingalphatranscripts )

David is doing a great job and providing an extremely valuable service that you would ordinarily have to pay for, but one thing I’d like to see is more transcripts from smaller, high growth companies.  For example, Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) and Central European Distribution (CEDC) both broke out to new all time highs today on great earnings but don’t see transcripts for those companies.  Perhaps with more demand, more small to mid cap stocks will be featured.  To make it easier for my reader to keep an eye on which transcripts are available I think I’ll add them to my sidebar.  Look for that soon.
