I gave you a taste yesterday of the new stock teaser from Hot Stock Confidential. Now, half of that taste was probably wrong, it turns out — read this comment for a better solution than Dendreon for the “active immunity” cancer fighter, (which, you’ll recall, was clearly a guess on my part). I stand by [...]
“Move over Geron, Genentech and Osiris… The next generation in revolutionary biotechs has arrived. “(And they may be the only way to make money in this market!) “Each one of these 3 breakout stocks could realistically bring you gains of 128%, 185%, or even 422% in the next 6 months!” That heady promise introduces an [...]
“The Credit Logjam has Broken. We’re all back in business again. Here is how to get back twice what you lost.” That’s how our latest ad for investigation opens — and someone forgot to tell Stephen Leeb’s copywriters about the exclamation point, this is not nearly exciting enough. Let’s have a little spirit, people! The [...]
One of the introductions to this ad reads thus: “Use this code: CKUCU. “If you go to your brokerage account today… type in stock ticker COF… and enter the code’s 5 letters – you’ll receive $920 within 5 minutes.” But the more fun introduction, the one that’s probably really getting peoples’ attention, is this: “Use [...]
InvestorPlace is certainly helping Nancy Zambell push the marketing message pretty hard for her new Buried Treasure Under $10 newsletter — who knows, if they keep this up we might be hearing as much from Nancy as we do from fellow InvestorPlace newsletter editors Louis Navellier, Robert Hsu and Tobin Smith. More power to her [...]
March Idea of the Month: Grave DancersThis is paid content, to view it, log in or register as an irregular.
Now this is what a teaser ad is all about — a bold copywriter doing enough research into the history of a particular investment thesis or company to track down something worthy of an action movie screenplay, and using that to hook our interest in a newsletter. Good stuff. Today it’s Byron King, better known [...]
We close out the week with a look at the “Income Security of the Month” — Carla Pasternak puts one of these out each month as a teaser to get folks to subscribe to her High-Yield Investing newsletter, and we’ve looked at several of them before — it’s been a hodgepodge, the Korea Fund and [...]
I thought I’d take a quick look at an ad I received just this morning, in part because it teases us about a “special situation,” and in part because it’s from a newsletter publisher who I don’t think I’ve ever written about before. The ad is from George Leong, who edits Lombardi’s Special Situations, a [...]
So … if you’re breathing, and you can read, and you’ve ever subscribed to any investment service or resource of any kind, you’ve probably seen this ad. My readers have wildly varying opinions of Stansberry & Associates and their newsletters, but one thing is certain: They know how to get the word out. And the [...]
Many folks have sent in this fun ad from the Oxford Club, one of many Agora-related publications — and a few folks even suggested the solution, which is easy if you’ve heard of it, but a bit obscure if you haven’t, and especially if you’ve never been a New Yorker. How’s that for a tease [...]
Today our teaser is for the Fool’s Hidden Gems service, which according to Hulbert has been their worst-performing service over the last three years with an annual loss of about 20% (Hulbert doesn’t track Global Gains, which has been decimated with the crash of the BRIC countries) — perhaps not surprising, since they focus on [...]
The Stansberry folks are predicting another collapse in a stock’s share price, and urging you to get on board with a short position (or, one imagines, a put option). The last time they urged an aggressive short position in their ads was with General Growth Properties, the mall REIT that they predicted would go bankrupt [...]
“Tiny Carolina Water Main Company Gets D.C. Check for $18,000,000,000” “Listen up and listen good. “There’s been so much yakking about the Stimulus it makes my poor head hurt. Why oh why doesn’t somebody just figure out how we can make some real money out of the damn thing?” That’s how we start the new [...]
“When Wall Street giants took a tumble, some of our picks’ payouts actually jumped 17% on average. “They’re still standing tall. “And right now, you can grab these high-yield gems—some with windfall potential—at ridiculously bargain rates. “If anything’s better than a monster-size yield, it’s a monster-size windfall. And why settle for just one when you [...]
Today’s ad for our sleuthing pleasure comes in from Andrew Snyder of TodaysFinancialNews.com (TFN) — he works on Hot Stock Confidential from TFN, but today he’s trying to sell us a new service called TFN Strategic Trader, which seems to be a weekly options alert service that will cost you about $1,300 a year. And [...]

Today we’re again hearing from old friend Christian DeHaemer (“old friend” as in, “don’t even know what he looks like and have never spoken to him but read lots of his ads”) — he’s selling his BreakAway Investor newsletter with this pitch … “On March 31st, 2009, The “EMN Initiative” Goes Live “A Historic Government [...]
That may well be damning with faint praise — saying that you’ve got the most undervalued oil company these days is not all that much better than saying you’ve picked the highest-dividend subprime lender, it’s a sector that many folks don’t want to touch. But we continue to burn oil — I drive pretty much [...]
