Is it even possible to slip back in time a year or two, to our delightful bull market past, and remember how differently we looked at things? At this time of year in 2007 we would have been sifting through teasers about how the latest LCD maker or electronics store was going to benefit from [...]

“Now, with an estimated $850 billion projected to flood the market, here are the sectors you need to watch and 3 companies you need to know about right away. Why? Because they could make you very, very rich in 2009…” That’s how the latest (loooong) ad for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor newsletter begins
Ian Cooper’s Options Trading Pit newsletter is out with a new ad, in a letter from Brian Hicks, that tells us that the biggest investment bubble is about to explode … and that Ian’s got the trades to tell you about that will help you profit from this explosion. They don’t hide the “bubble” they’re [...]
Most of us are quite familiar with investment newsletters and trading services. I focus on the newsletters that advertise heavily to retail investors, and the most successful type of ad is apparently the “teaser” letter, a well-argued case for a particular stock or investment … that withholds the actual name and ticker until you throw [...]
This ad came in fast and hard over the weekend, behind the full marketing might of the folks at Investorplace in service of Asia Edge, Robert Hsu’s more expensive pan-Asia newsletter. And it looks like they’re using some of the tested and (one assumes) successful marketing strategies that got Louis Navellier a lot of attention [...]
Robet Hsu is out with a new little tease for us, and he thinks China will continue to be the one remaining bright spot in world economic growth. Of course, his two investment newsletters (China Strategy and Asia Edge) depend on China and its neighbors exciting investors, so that’s no surprise. He was one of [...]

The latest from Andrew Gordon: “GOVERNMENT BACKED… HIGHLY LIQUID… and 8 Times the Interest of a Typical Savings Account. It’s not only billionaires who are using the financial crisis to get ‘insider deals’…. Thousands of regular Americans are cashing in on a loophole for collecting up to $8,881 a month, backed by an ‘explicit’ U.S. Treasury guarantee…”
Quite a number of you, it appears, have seen this recent ad from Stansberry & Associates, trying to sell you a subscription to the 12% Letter by Tom Dyson. The teaser begins with the intriguing promise that there’s a “Postal secret” that will let you become a “1 share millionaire.”
“Whether stocks go up or down… some companies return tens of thousands of dollars a month starting with just a single share. But you can’t buy them on the market: They’re available through the U.S. mail. ‘It’s almost impossible not to make money’… says the SF Chronicle. What?
This is a little quickie from Green Chip International, a newsletter that is, like so many others, apparently boasting of more big discounts in their subscription rate — don’t know if anyone ever actually paid the “official” $995 subscription rate, but now they’re trying to get you to subscribe for $300. Still, that’s quite a handful of greenbacks for a newsletter that hasn’t had much opportunity to prove itself yet — so let’s see if we can figure out some of what they’re touting for us today. The big spiel is all about what they’re calling … “China’s $555 Billion ‘Environmental Liability Insurance’ …”
“This Google Partner is just one of the 18%+ high-yield trusts you can snap up now.” This ad comes in from Roger Conrad for his Canadian Edge newsletter, one of several from the great KCI marketing machine that, like almost every other major financial newsletter publisher, is headquartered a stone’s throw from the stunningly opulent [...]

Everybody loves a good dividend, no? In that case, the promise of this teaser ad from the folks at High Yield Investing might get the blood boiling a little bit …

The folks at High Yield Investing have this to offer: “You can thank venture capitalists for your computer, cell phone, solar panel and countless other inventions that have made our lives better… and ground-floor investors filthy rich. Back in the day, if you wanted a piece of the action, all you needed to do was write your own million-dollar check. Not possible for 99.99% of investors. But today, you can buy your way into the exclusive world of venture capitalists for about $7.”
“On January 21st, Crude Oil’s ‘Bounce Multiplier’ Kicks In… A first-in-history mix of factors offers you a brief chance to gain 190 times your money from the biggest petroleum price-rebound of all time.” That’s how Christian DeHaemer gets our juices flowing for his current pick of an obscure little oil company … what’s he talking about?
“… this is a completely hidden – and yet legal – drain on your retirement savings, mandated by the U.S. Government. And the worst part is that for the last five years, without fail, this “tax” has increased. In fact, at the current rate, over the next five years, you could be in line to shell out as much as 65% of your total retirement portfolio!” So what is Taipan talking about with this one?
Here’s what I can’t tell you: Where the price of gold is going. Here’s what I can tell you: Over the past several weeks, as investor enthusiasm for gold clearly reached the melting point in a big price spike to near $900, I’ve seen almost every gold teaser in the book. Gold is down a bit again today, but the gold bugs are still out in force and certain that they will be vindicated when inflation and dollar devaluation finally rear their ugly heads. What do the experts say now?
I just got an ad from Stephen Leeb for his Aggressive Trader service, and it says that the collapse of Intel shares has unfairly dragged down another tech stock, a hardware company that makes accessories. Though he often uses options for this rapid trading service, in this case he’s telling folks to just buy the shares for a lower-risk trade … so I thought y’all might be interested.
