Just FYI, there probably won’t be another new post here until next Thursday, July 5 as the Gumshoe vacations and rests his weary Thinkotronic 4000 for a few days. In the in meantime, to keep the great sleuthing machine from skipping a beat, starting at Midnight tonight the first Gumshoe Contest is underway — rules [...]
This stock has already been uncovered over at the Gumshoe forum by reader asx, but I thought I’d cover it here since only about half of my readers have checked out the forum … and I was doing the other two companies from the special “Three Top Wish-I Picks for 2007″ from Bottarelli Small Cap [...]
This is the second of Bottarelli’s three “Wish I” stocks — for more info, see the first one here. This second stock that exhibited a “pre emptive moving average” buy signal for Bottarelli’s analyst is a drug company of some sort. “$15.06 healthcare outfit out of Seattle, Washington that’s quietly developing one of the most [...]
This was part of a long and somewhat tiresome ad for Bottarelli Research Small Cap, which we’ve sleuthed out one or two teaser companies from before. This time, it was all about the way Bottarelli talked his friend Mark Blattert into publishing his stock tips with the service, so they could charge $1,750 a year [...]
This teaser and the solution were sent in by an anonymous reader, so thanks for that. This is yet another gold play, but this one’s a little bit different. And as I always love to see, it’s got an interesting back story — it’s about the revival of the Egyptian gold mining industry, which certainly [...]
OK folks, I’ve got a new opportunity for you to be your own Gumshoe … and win a cash prize! There are two occasions this summer when I’ll be unable to post for at least four or five days, and during both of those times I’m going to run a contest over at the Gumshoe [...]
This one came in with an ad for the True Wealth newsletter from Dan Ferris, and of course they’d like to offer you a special “autorenew” option for $79 a year … and in exchange, you get this fabulous stock idea from Dan. So what is it? “…the North American natural resource company Dan will [...]
A few of you have called my attention to a teaser that’s been making the rounds recently, from Steve Sjuggerud, for the Sjuggerud Confidential newsletter ($1,000). He’s saying that he has found a penny stock that is safe enough for him to recommend, and it’s a Macau property play. Unfortunately, the clues given are extraordinarily [...]
This teaser was posted over at the forum a little while ago, and though I haven’t actually seen the original email the poster said it was sent out yesterday. It’s from Mark Skousen’s Forecasts & Strategies service, which we’ve come across several times before, and it touts a company that has recently seen over $9.3 [...]
This one came in from Navellie’rs Global Growth service a week or two ago, at which time I told someone at the forum that I would get on it … and then I promptly forgot all about it. So here we are, a bit late, but in my defense the shares have fallen quite a [...]
For those of you who haven’t been checking things out over at the Gumshoe Forum, I thought I’d call your attention to a little discussion of the latest teaser ad — from Stansberry, if memeory serves — for what is purported to be an “F-series” Government Bond that might yield 180%. I’ve participated in the [...]
I guess Stansberry’s folks must just be putting together the most entertaining teaser emails, because that’s a lot of what I’ve been covering lately. And today is no exception. This teaser came in yesterday from Porter Stansberry, for the S&A Inside Strategist, which is a new service that will cost you $500 a year. What [...]
This is a quick and easy one — lots of readers sent it in, and it’s from Navellier’s Emerging Growth service, which we’ve seen a lot of teasers from in the past. The argument for Emerging Growth is based on the success of their Hansen recommendation — which was certainly a good one, as everyone [...]
[I've left this one here for full disclosure so that you can see I made a mistake when I wrote up this post earlier today -- the company teased is not the one I reveal at the bottom. If it's any consolation, I think this is the first time I've posted one of these that [...]
This email ad came in from the Motley Fool’s Income Investor newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve sleuthed before. They’re running a subscription sale right now for $119, perhaps because their lead analyst, Matthew Emmert — who did manage some pretty impressive returns — appears to no longer be running the show. The new guy [...]
This is starting to be a trend — I’m now seeing the email from the Half Price Stocks guys every month about halfway through the month, touting their undervalued stock of the month. Previous ones were Broadcom and Getty Images, if memory serves … and today, another one arrives. They call it a “Warren Buffet [...]
This one comes in from a newsletter service that I’ve never heard of before — Tony Sagami’s Asia Stock Alert, which will cost you $199 if you’re so inclined. As you might imagine, this is one of those foreign investment advisories that trumpets their ability to do “boots on the ground” research — I have [...]
Navellier has recently been sending around an email recommending Google, but that’s not much of a tease if he’s going to just go ahead and tell us to buy it. As a bonus, he gives hints about four of the stocks that are on his “top ten” list to buy now for Blue Chip Growth, [...]
This one came in from a reader, and unfortunately it took me a week or so to get to it … it has climbed 20% already, though if the teaser copy is accurate who knows where it will go. This is from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, who we’ve heard from before a few times. [...]
So … only the second time I do a monthly review of the Gumshoe’s sleuthed picks, and it’s a week late. Those of you who know me will understand that this is typical, unfortunately. What’s been happening with the stocks we’ve sleuthed out here in recent weeks? Well, a quick glance at the spreadsheet will [...]
