Elliot Gue writes us a nice teaser ad for his Energy Strategist service in the Friday wrapup from Rukeyser.com … if you want to find out what the cellulosic ethanol play is, the one that he says is essentially a state sponsored company, all you need to do is cough up $499 a year. Or, [...]
Many of you have been interested in the MEGA-U308 teaser that’s been circulating from GRESSOR and Taipan recently. I’ve had several readers send in the suggested solution to this one, but I wasn’t ever able to confirm with as much certainty as I would like … thanks to the forum, though, readers like you can [...]
Welcome to the Gumshoe! This writeup is getting long in the tooth, if you want the updated report on the Escondido Retirement Trust you can find it in these two more recent articles: Escondido Retirement Trust and other Monthly Dividends John and Helen Scott’s Drive Thru Retirement Project _______________________________________________________ I think I’ve sleuthed out another [...]
This one was talked up on the Gumshoe forum a little bit, and forum member jg gave me the key clue to get me over the hump to sleuth it out for you. This one has nagged at me for a little while, so I like this forum business already! Here’s what we’ve got: An [...]
This one comes to us from Dan Ferris, at Stansberry and Associates. It came to me through a reader, who also suggested a solution, so I don’t have the whole email … but the only newsletter Ferris edits is Extreme Value, which runs $1,000 a year. And yes, it’s about a plastics company … using [...]
Greetings, fearless readers. No big new sleuthing project today, but I will share a couple solutions from readers that I haven’t been able to write up in full: 1) There’s a teaser going around from Matt Badiali that’s called “Fraser’s Legacy,” for S&A’s Gold Report, which discusses four ‘Prospect Generators.’ The report is called, “How [...]
This is the second stock that was profiled in a teaser ad for Bill Mann’s Motley Fool Global Gains newsletter — the second of three that were profiled as Three Small Caps that will Dominate the International Market. The first, as you may remember, was an alternative energy play from South Africa named Sasol. Hidden [...]
We covered the “undervalued stock of the month” for April, so it seems only fair to do the same for May. This monthly report comes from the folks at Half Priced Stocks, and they’d like you to subscribe in order to find the answer. That’s not the Gumshoe way, of course — we’ll just have [...]
This one comes to us from Stansberry & Associates, as so many of them do, and is an ad for The Oil Report from Matt Badiali ($99 a year, last time I checked). He’s got a great opening, as usual: “Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil [...]
This is another relatively quick post for you, since the email wasn’t exactly clue-laden. This comes in from J. Christof Amberger, of the Taipan newsletters, and it’s a tease for the secret backdoor into Chinese IPO’s.And more specifically, it’s a tease for a special report about one company that is poised to go public on [...]
This is a quickie as I close out Friday evening for the fabulous Gumshoe readers — but I just got an email from Adam Lass at WaveStrength Options Weekly (with help from Bryan Bottarelli) that promises the “last sane oil play of the summer,” an option trade that will make money if there are (aren’t [...]
This one came in on a teaser ad for Tobin Smith’s MicroCap Investor on April 26 … and a reader also sent in a suggested solution (and was right — this happens more than half the time, that readers send in a solution and they’re correct … I’ve definitely got the smartest readers in the [...]
[For those of you who've been around for a while, this is one we sleuthed out about a month ago but this is an updated version of the writeup -- the company changed names and tickers recently] “Hi-def video is the new e-mail” is apparently Tobin Smith’s new mantra, as he says in an email [...]
This teaser, for the “OIL COMPANY THAT HAS OUTPERFORMED EXXON BY 170% IN THE PAST YEAR,” comes from Orbus Investor’s Sam Hopkins. Orbus Investor is a global investing newsletter that we’ve seen before — they told that that “Cash is Dead” and teased us about Verifone back at the end of March (unchanged so far). [...]
This is from an ad for Navellier’s Emerging Growth newsletter, which we’ve looked at before (its teaser company are breaking even for us so far, Smith Micro is down and Brookfield up, by about the same 20% or so … you can track this yourself in the Gumshoe spreadsheet linked from the sidebar). The ad [...]
This ad comes to us from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, who we’ve heard from a few times before. The solution was suggested by a few readers, the first of whom was Randy Last-name-withheld-to protect-the-innocent, and one of them, one of the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars who wishes to remain anonymous (we’ll call him Streetsifter … [...]
This is another one from Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge, which focuses on finding the best investments in China and throughout Asia … and costs $2,995 a year, more than I feel like spending at the moment. So I’d like to find out what he considers to be the “almost perfect stock.” The email is generally [...]
The Motley Fool has an investment newsletter called Global Gains, by Bill Mann, that offers up international investment advice for $199 a year, and they recently have been advertising the service by teasing up three different small cap companies, what they call their “Hidden Advantage Stocks.” (And actually, I seem to remember them advertising this [...]
This is yet another junior mining company investment, and the tease comes to us from Matt Badiali at the Stansberry & Associates (S&A) Gold Report. The suggested solution came to me from a reader who wanted to remain anonymous, and it looks to me as though he was correct. Some newsletters just do a more [...]
August 11 update: Just a note that this stock, along with Chris DeHaemer’s other resource play Rusina Mining, has taken a significant hit of late. The hit this company is taking is probably almost entirely related to the current debate in the Somali government about setting up a new government oil company and new centralized [...]
