“‘Hard Luck’ Scheele’s Discovery Could Quadruple Your Money”

Here’s how today’s ad opens: “The biggest opportunity of the new world economy… “‘Hard Luck’ Scheele’s Discovery Could Quadruple Your Money by July 14, 2010 “Every country in the developing world needs this 231-year-old discovery, but… “Only 10 companies in the world have it… “Only 3 of them are pure plays… “Only ONE can actually [...]

“Gold-Backed Annuity” companies … income for life?

This ad has been floating to the top of my inbox for a couple days now, and since the people have spoken I thought I better write about it right quick for you — I am, after all, your humble sleuthing servant. Well, OK, maybe not so humble all the time, but do you want [...]

“Better than Gold! … 3-to-1 Gains Guaranteed!”

Just to be clear, when I include that “3-to-1 Gains Guaranteed” in the headline, that’s a quote from the ad — your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe doesn’t guarantee anything, except that I’ll continue to do my best to dig into these fabulous teaser ads … you keep reading, I’ll keep writing, that’s the deal. Today’s [...]

Better than Buying Exxon 20 Years Ago — 60-75% Gains by Year End?

Elliott Gue made a name for himself as an energy stock analyst before he took over the much larger Personal Finance, and he still gets the teaser ads rolling pretty frequently for his Energy Strategist newsletter (now he calls the subscribers the “Energy Society” … feels more special, no?) And lately he’s been pushing a [...]

Pocket Nine-times your money with HCIT: “This Discreet Amsterdam ‘Rendezvous’ Will Ignite a $678 Billion Tech Explosion”

One of the fun things about serving as your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe is that boredom is never a challenge — each morning I get up and check the email box, and there’s invariably some bit of balderdash in there just waiting for a look-see. And today? No different, as you’ve no doubt surmised. Today [...]

“This $3 Utah Company Could ‘Bring Down’ OPEC”

Longtime readers of this space might recognize the gist of this teaser just from that headline, but it has been reformulated and is getting pushed harder and harder of late, so I couldn’t resist another look at it. The ad is for the Oxford Club and their Communique, a relatively inexpensive newsletter (according to the [...]

“If You Missed Out On a +3,720% Gain… Here’s a Second Chance”

Today’s tasty delight from the annals of teaserdom is a little bit different from what I usually cover — this time it’s a teaser for a trading service that’s about to launch. It’s a new service from Mike Turner at StreetAuthority that they’re going to call Michael Turner’s Rules Based Trading. So it’s different not [...]

“How to Collect $30,000 to $250,000 in ‘Unclaimed Inheritance Money’ “

That sounds pretty good, right? It’s everyone’s dream, a rich great-uncle that you never knew, and years later you find out that you were left a fortune in his will, and he’s been dead for years and a banker’s knocking at the door trying to give you a bag full of Krugerrands. Ah, those are [...]

“The Next Major Bank Stock Set to CRASH” Dan Amoss

“On Monday the 24th at Noon I’ll reveal the next major Bank Stock set to CRASH.” That’s the big-letters headline from Dan Amoss in a new teaser ad for his Strategic Short Report – and since this one is getting a lot of attention from my readers, and the Strategic Short Report has been a [...]

“Inside the Vortex of a Historic Windfall”

Since the Stock Gumshoe’s vacation hiatus is just about to begin this morning, I thought I’d share a quick bonus for those of you who are not yet members of the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars — this article first appeared in the Irregulars Friday File on July 10, and it has not been updated.
