This one comes in as part of a teaser letter for Steve Sjuggerud’s special higher cost newsletter, Sjuggerud Confidential … “the thing is, finding the bank that didn’t get into U.S. real estate, didn’t fall victim to exotic financial instruments, and didn’t take on too much risk, is like trying to find a needle in [...]
This is a sleuthing job that I first posted about six months ago, but it appears to be making a comeback. I’ve gotten dozens of emails about this one, so I thought I’d put it out there for all the new(ish) readers. The price of this stock spiked dramatically at the end of last year, [...]
StreetAuthority is calling a recent buy of Warren Buffett’s “The little stock that could make you rich” — it’s apparently a retailer that Buffett “recently” bought, to the tune of 14 million shares (I’m afraid I can’t sing along at that volume, but I do always like to know what Buffett’s buying). The wise and [...]
A reader recently sent me a note about a teaser recommendation from Martin Weiss and the Money and Markets folks regarding bets against long term bonds. This wasn’t really a complicated teaser, so this will just be a short note … Print this
Apparently, if you feel like there’s a “secret market” out there where the people with “real money” are making money hand over fist with little to no effort, and you’re afraid that you’re missing out, then you’re the prime candidate for any number of expensive trading services. This latest ad is not too different from [...]
I’m not entirely sure when this ad was sent out, or exactly what the context was, but I was sent a snippet of it from a reader just recently and thought I’d share. The ad is for Blue Chip Growth, Louis Navellier’s large cap growth newsletter (according to Hulbert’s calculations, this newsletter has handily beaten [...]
Since writing about the “John and Helen Scott’s Drive Thru Retirement” teaser a few weeks ago I’ve heard from many folks that are interested in monthly dividend companies, so your Gumshoe thought he might poke around a bit and find some more for you. Who knows, maybe all the excitement is because it looks like [...]
Well, time to finish up writing about that looooong teaser ad from Andrew Mickey’s Breakaway Investor that I started over the weekend. Yesterday we spent some time looking at his LNG play, which has very tenuous connections to Russia, but apparently these next few are all about our friends in the former Soviet empire. This [...]
OK, I don’t think I’ve ever had to resort to three or four different articles to cover a single teaser ad (at least, not since Stansberry’s “Secret Societies” teaser last Fall), so I hope this third writeup will be the charm for us all, and we’ll not speak again of Andrew Mickey’s Putin-icious masterpiece. The [...]
This teaser came in a couple weeks ago, and a few readers have sent in suggestions about the possible solutions, so I thought a lovely Spring weekend here in Washington, D.C. would be the perfect time to take a gander at Andrew Mickey’s teaser … and lordy me, it’s a long one. At least three [...]
Here we have another one from Greg “Gunner” Guenthner and his Bulletin Board Elite service … the email actually went out for the first time a few months ago, but the stock hasn’t really moved much since, so perhaps it’s worth a look. Guenthner has teased a few stocks that we’ve looked at before, including [...]
I know that the UK represents a smallish portion of the mighty worldwide Gumshoe readership (about 10%, if my stats are to be believed) … but still, we love our “special relationship” friends across the pond. Even if I have to slap myself for saying “across the pond.” So every now and then I like [...]
Hi folks — just a quick note to let you know that I have updated the Stock Gumshoe Tracking Spreadsheet and brought it in to the fold as part of the main site, so you can now find it linked from the “Tracking” tab at the top of the page. I will continue to updated [...]
I don’t generally write much about teaser ad campaigns like this one, campaigns which don’t particularly tease a stock or even a single strategy. But so many people have written to me about this one, and it is so massively widely circulated, that I thought I’d share a few comments … if only to save [...]
This post has been updated with a response from Dan Denning at the bottom. I spent a little time with the ‘ol Thinkolator churning through the several stocks touted by Dan Denning for his Australia Resource and Mining Report — this first one was one of the more interesting ones, and I worked that out [...]
This is about what they’re calling “marine energy,” which is yet another kind of renewable energy that’s getting some attention — though frankly, I heard more about these companies last year than I have recently, kind of the opposite of Print this
This one is apparently a newsletter that’s new for US and European investors, but from an advisor who’s been doing research on commodities companies for Aussie subscribers for a number of years. The newsletter is called the Australian Resource and Mining Report, and it’s edited by Dan Denning, which we of course find out on [...]
I’ve had a few folks ask me about a service called PromoStockPicks.com, probably because folks have recently noticed their ads appearing on this site. For what it’s worth, I don’t have a lot of control over the advertisers who end up being sent to my site by Google, but I do have the ability to [...]
This is a teaser that many of you have already figured it out, but I’m still seeing it in heavy rotation so I thought I’d share … it’s from an ad for Karim Rahemtulla’s Xcelerated Profits Report, I don’t think we’ve looked at his stuff since their fabulous ad for “Dark Equities” a few months [...]
This is a new email that people have been sending my way over the past few hours, but for those of you who’ve been around Gumshoedom for a while it will probably sound familiar. The ad is for Jeff Clark’s Advanced Income service from Stansberry & Associates, and it touts two special reports that describe [...]
