# Earnings Feed

> Free, real-time SEC filings tracker for individual investors. Access 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, 13D/13G, 13F, S-1, and Form 144 filings with company profiles, insider trading data, and institutional holdings. A free alternative to BamSEC ($828/year).

## What is Earnings Feed?

Earnings Feed is a free platform that provides real-time access to SEC EDGAR filings. It solves a fundamental problem in investment research: professional-grade SEC data has traditionally been locked behind expensive paywalls (BamSEC costs $828/year, Bloomberg terminals cost $25,000+/year, AlphaSense costs $50,000+/year) while the free alternative (raw SEC EDGAR) has a poor user experience.

Earnings Feed makes SEC filings accessible to individual investors, financial analysts, journalists, researchers, and legal professionals with:

- **Real-time data**: Filings appear within 30 seconds of SEC acceptance
- **Modern interface**: Clean, searchable, mobile-friendly design
- **Comprehensive coverage**: 10+ form types including 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, 13D/G, 13F, S-1, and Form 144
- **Free access**: Core features cost nothing; optional Pro tier for instant alerts

## Target Users

Earnings Feed serves:

1. **Individual investors**: Self-directed investors tracking companies and understanding insider trading patterns
2. **Financial analysts**: Independent analysts and equity researchers needing real-time filing access
3. **Journalists**: Media professionals covering corporate news, earnings surprises, and executive changes
4. **Researchers**: Academics and institutions studying corporate behavior and market dynamics

URL: https://earningsfeed.com/blog/how-to-read-10k

### Form 4 Insider Trading Explained
