Peter Schiff has become one of the rock stars of the economic collapse. If you haven’t yet run across his fans or his critics (and they usually end up at the same place), then here’s the brief: Schiff is a broker, he runs EuroPacific Capital. He has written two books in the past couple years, [...]

Who can resist a headline like that? High yields, low risk … that’s pretty much the holy grail for investors these days (well, except for those who haven’t yet given up on finding the next Google, or the next Seabridge Gold). So what is this all about? Today I’m working with just a wee snippet [...]

Ah, good ‘ol Louis Navellier — we can always count on a short-term promise of immense riches from his ads, and today is no different. He actually released this email yesterday, so when I say it “reports today” that’s not technically a quote, but the company does release their earnings after the market closes today, [...]
Taking down Pfizer — hasn’t that already been done? At least, if you think a drop of 60% or so in share price over five years for a “blue chip” company is a “takedown.” But that’s the promise of a recent issue of the Penny Sleuth free email newsletter — and to find the details [...]
Here’s how this ad begins: “Industrial output dropped 35% in December “Exports sank 46% from 2007 “Unemployment to hit 6% in 2009 “Sony, Nissan and NEC are warning of huge losses that will eliminate tens of thousands of jobs “Japan’s economic minister warns, “The worst is yet to come.” Well that sounds nasty, eh? Robert [...]
I don’t see this very often, but it looks like there’s a little battle brewing between Ian Cooper and Rob Fannon … or probably more precisely, between Stansberry & Associates and Angel Publishing. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but the two seem linked in several “sincerest form of flattery” [...]

“You most probably use this every day… but you can’t see, smell or touch it … “To the naked eye, this product is no more than thin air – so it might surprise you to learn that you could make money from it… really good money… “You see, this “invisible” product could soon be Australia’s [...]
Quite a number of you have sent notes to me about these, um, notes lately — if you’re on many of the newsletter or financial mailing lists you’ve probably seen them, too. This is a teaser that promises … “Buy this investment today and “lock in” a minimum gain of 244% (It could possibly even [...]

Here we have another teaser email promising a rescue for those of us who’ve seen their 401k accounts fall by 50% (or more) … more proof that you don’t have to be sexy to get attention with a teaser ad today, you just have to imply that you can help to save the kind of [...]
This ad comes in for the Extreme Value newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, edited by Dan Ferris. The name of the newsletter is no accident, Ferris apparently looks for deep value and hidden value stocks, not unlike some other traditional “value” stock pickers. This time, he’s telling us that there’s a “distortion” in the gold [...]
The ad I’ll start to look at today is from Roger Conrad for his Utility Forecaster service — a newsletter that looks primarily at, you guessed it, utility stocks. He has over the years considered the word “utility” fairly broadly, so if there’s any company that provides an essential service and pays a good dividend [...]
Eric Roseman of the Sovereign Society has been blanketing the web with a teaser about a “different way to own gold” — one that he says might give you a discount of as much as $600 an ounce. Here’s what he says … “Recently, I’ve been researching different ways to own gold – and two months ago — I came across a little-known form of the yellow metal. The shocking thing is, it has outperformed “normal” gold investments by a factor of 10… or more!”
Today I’ve gotten several copies of an ad that is strongly reminiscent of one that I looked at in May of 2008. This is for the relatively new Without Borders service from Casey Research, an international and emerging markets-focused newsletter that will run you about $180 at the current “sale” price. Here’s how the tease [...]
