The Wall Street Transcript is a paid subscription publication and Web site that publishes bi-weekly industry reports that feature equity analyst, money manager and CEO interviews. Reports typically cover two to three industries and express money managers' and analysts' views on each of the various industry sectors, as well as interviews with CEOs whose companies operate within the covered industries.
In publication since 1963, The Wall Street Transcript is a publication in the finance community, which has interviewed the CEOs and senior executives of public companies, money managers handling billions of dollars of assets, and equity analysts from leading investment banks around the world and publishing these interviews verbatim. The Wall Street Transcript does not endorse the views of those interviewed, nor does it make stock recommendations.[1] The Wall Street Transcript highlights micro-cap and small-cap stocks that may go overlooked by many investors, while its CEO interviews often offer commentary to investors in larger-cap stocks as well.[2] Large investment houses such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs contribute their opinions on various market topics regularly to The Wall Street Transcript.[3][4]
The Wall Street Transcript has been awarded various awards and accolades, as well as having been cited by Forbes as the Best Web Site Publication for Stock Picking. It has around 200,000 readers every month, 5,000 readers who choose to receive publications in print; furthermore 67 percent of these readers invest more than $75,000 annually and 71 percent of the readers have annual incomes greater than $100,000.[5]
Seeking Alpha, a free provider of financial and stock analysis from blogs, newsletters and money managers, publishes excerpts of Wall Street Transcript reports on its Web site.
