Ah, another book-length teaser from the Motley Fool … just the thing to dig in my Gumshoe teeth after a few days of odd posts about the Gumshoe contest and Social Security payouts. Back to stocks! Today our teaser is for the Fool’s Hidden Gems service, which according to Hulbert has been their worst-performing service [...]

This is actually an odd little teaser that a few readers sent in to me recently — including one who offered a solution that is actually correct (forgot to ask for permission, so I won’t mention the name). Smart readers here, as always. What we get here, in exchange for subscribing to Steve Sjuggerud’s True [...]
The entrants to the Stock Gumshoe Weekend Contest kept their fingers crossed this morning as they watched the markets continue to bounce off of Friday’s lows — many of them picked the big morning bouncers — including GM, APWR, and several other morning rockets. If you’ll remember, the contest had two parts: First, who provided [...]
Welcome to the weekend after the worst week I can ever remember seeing in the stock market. I can’t do much to make you feel better about that, but I can give you a chance at $50 or $100 if you’ve got time to share an idea with the rest of us. Famous investors of [...]

In the few days preceding the last presidential debate between McCain and Obama (which was soooo boring … I was really hoping for more winking, personally), Louis Navellier continued his presidential-themed teaser ad campaigns. Last time around, he was promising that he had written the perfect campaign speech, and that whoever uttered it would be [...]

I haven’t written about Dan Denning’s stuff for a while — back when people still liked investing in commodities I did several pieces about his “Pilbara Profit Secrets” ad campaign for a bunch of Aussie resource stocks, but that particular sector is not setting off anyone’s drool reflexes lately … so the ad hasn’t been [...]

When the world looks bleak, the skies darken, and the locusts appear to be swarming on CNBC, we can always count on one thing: Newsletter editors will be trying whatever they can to convince you that they see the way forward, or that they have a safe haven for your money. Karim Rahemtulla is no [...]
Now that’s a nice promise for these trying days — the “greatest income investment of all time.” Even Jim Cramer is yelling about investing in dividend stocks, and certainly for anyone within ten years of retirement the fact that we’ve now given up all of the past decade’s gains in the market is probably quite [...]

The fact that the financial world is coming apart at the seams doesn’t seem to be slowing down the newsletters — I don’t know whether their advice is going to help you keep your portfolio intact while all about you are losing theirs, but they certainly think that the US investors is desperate for advice [...]
I started yesterday to look at the latest teaser ad from Keith Fitz-Gerald and his Money Map Report – the basic theme of this ad is that the sovereign wealth funds have tons of cash, and Keith thinks he can predict where that money will go. He teased three companies in that ad — the [...]
Here’s how this ad begins: “Wall Street Just Got a New Boss… “And It’s Not Paulson, Bernanke, Pelosi or Bush… “It’s a small group of 5 investors who now control more money than all the investment banks ever did in their heyday – and they’re using it at will… “Here’s how you “front run” their [...]
A big part of the advertising that comes out for Carla Pasternak’s High-Yield Investing is by way of their writeups on the “income security of the month” — I’ve looked at a few of these in the past, but it’s been a while, so now seems like as good a time as any to dig [...]
