This teaser comes in from a newsletter I haven’t looked at before, the Virtual Investing Club from Shane Rawlings. It’s all about a special report about Peak Natural Gas, and the likely skyrocketing price of gas from the current range of $7-10/mcf to $30 by the end of the decade. The end of the decade [...]
I rarely write about Zack’s as an investment advisory, mostly because they don’t usually “tease” their stock ideas. But today they did — I got an email from a reader about the latest stock to make a Zack’s “breakout” move … and they’d like you to subscribe to their service, before March 28th while it’s [...]
This is a new teaser that has gotten the attention of many of my readers, if my bulging emailbox is any indicator. The special report, which they’re releasing to subscribers on April 2nd, is called “America’s New Currency: How a Unique ‘Legal Tender’ Helps Americans Grow Wealthy Regardless of the Economy or Dollar.” If you [...]
This one has been around for quite some time, but I thought many of my newer Gumshoe friends might have missed it. It’s a teaser for Agora’s Outstanding Investments newsletter — which is their cheapest one at $49 a year. But hey, even at $49 a year, why pay if you don’t want the newsletter? [...]
This one’s from Christian DeHaemer for Material Profit, one of the “introductory” inexpensive newsletters from Taipan (on sale for $49 at the moment, apparently). This group is no stranger to your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe, but I don’t think I’ve looked at one from Material Profit before (I’ve looked at many from DeHaemer’s other services, most [...]
This is one that several of you have sent my way in the last few days, a company that has a technology for more efficiently and effectively harvesting oil from the bitumen of Alberta. The ad is for the $20 Trillion Report, a new newsletter service from Brian Hicks, who’s also hawking his book (Profit [...]
This is a recent teaser from Greg McCoach, who writes the Mining Speculator for Angel publishing and also has a new service that tracks his personal portfolio. We looked at the first stock he teased from the eight he chose for his initial personal portfolio, but now he’s teasing another one … let’s check it [...]
[regular readers: this originally appeared last week and I'm just correcting some bad coding, sorry for any confusion] Can you really buy McDonald’s or Coca Cola for “pennies a share?” Leaving aside the fact that “pennies a share” means nothing, of course (with enough pennies, you could easily pick up some of Steve Sjuggerud’s favorite [...]
Here we have another newsletter from the folks who brought us Green Chip Stocks, which has been riding herd on the wave of environmentally friendly investors with a near-constant stream of new teaser ads. This latest ad, from Jeff Siegel for the new service, talks about “clean air cash-outs”, which as I read it are [...]
This one comes in from what looks to be a new newsletter service called “The Access Group” that will run you $2,750 a year. Phew. This is a service that they claim will enable individual investors to get access to the kind of research hedge fund companies used to pay these analysts $30,000 a year [...]
“Last week everything was going down the drain, and now everything’s perfect” — that’s a comment I heard on CNBC this morning, facetious though it was, that goes a long way toward mirroring the movement in gold prices. Last week armageddon was coming and everyone wanted to own gold, today maybe the world financial system [...]
This ad came in from Philip Durell’s Inside Value newsletter from the Motley Fool, which they’re currently offering for $149. This is the “deep value” newsletter from the Fool, so it probably shouldn’t be any surprise that it’s one of the worst Fool performers recently — it’s beating the S&P by just a point or [...]
This one comes in from our dear friends in the land of tea and crumpets, but this time it is for an investment that is relatively easy to buy either in the UK or the US (unlike that last UK-listed teaser company we looked at that owns the “torpedo technique”) The teaser is for the [...]
Rare is the investment newsletter that hasn’t opined about the Visa IPO. In the wake of the Bear Stearns fiasco, the frantic bucket brigade by Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke, frantic inflation, $100 oil, $1,000 gold, and a zillion other terrifying things, the thirst for a successful investment is almost debilitating. Which means that anyone [...]
Here’s one that got the attention of many of my readers: it’s a microcap oil play, one that our advertiser believes will send shares from 15 cents to (possibly) $5 a share. They apparently have leases in Brazil in some prime oil territory. Some excerpts from the ad: “When you sign on to Penny Oil [...]
Just a quick note to update you on a teaser that I wrote about a little while ago … it’s being repeated again. This time, the email is going out from a different part of the Lynn Carpenter empire, as part of the Total Health Breakthroughs email newsletter … and they’d still like you to [...]
We’ve passed the one year anniversary of the Gumshoe’s first writing in this space with little fanfare, I’m afraid. It’s OK, I know you meant to send flowers. It’s the thought that counts. And it was actually when I was going back through my old stuff and trying to figure out exactly what day I [...]
I know it seems like I’ve been writing primarily about the Motley Fool over the past week or so, but I am but a simple servant to my masters: the wide-ranging, unusually intelligent, and good lookin’ Gumshoe readership. And a large number of you, I’m guessing something on the order of a zillion, have emailed [...]
I’ve had dozens of readers send this one along, most with a long line of question marks. The teaser has been around for a while (a couple years, as far as I can tell), but it continues to spark interest — especially with the dollar at ridiculous lows, inflation fears bubbling, and gold near $1,000 [...]
Newsletters are notorious for re-using the same ad copy for years and years and years, and the Motley Fool is no different — when they get a marketing pitch that really works, they keep trotting it out again, and again, and again. I’ve mentioned this before, particularly with their “Next Berkshire Hathaway” pick that gets [...]
