“Foreign (And Legal) Drug Trade Profits” — Dalal Street Insider

On this bright and cheerful Monday we’re taking a look-see at a new entrant in the newsletter world — not only because it teases a couple intriguing investment ideas and promises great gains, as they all do, but because this is the first newsletter I’ve seen that is completely focused on India. Newsletters that look [...]

2009′s Turkey of the Year — Hot, Hot, Hot!

I have instituted a little tradition here at Stock Gumshoe, each Thanksgiving I like to pick out my favorite “Turkey of the Year” … the teaser stock pick that promised millions, but fizzled despite the best attempts of newsletter writers to promote the stock to new subscribers. And if you’ve been around this space for [...]

“The One Company that Defeats Cancer … and Terrorism Too”

“Now a surprise announcement – expected in the next few weeks – could send shares of this under-the-radar company skyrocketing…. “You’ve probably never heard of it… “But one small U.S. company – already raking in revenues of more than $2 billion and showing net profits of over $320 million – is poised to post explosive [...]

“Up To 790% Gain in this Diet Stock” By Valentine’s Day — The “NEXT Nutrisystem”

Again we greet a gray November morning with Louis Navellier, sending us an ad full of sunshine, bright colors, and glowing promises. This time, he tells us that he thinks we’ll see … “Up to 790% Gain in this Diet Stock — between today and February 14.” This is fertile ground for Navellier, he has [...]

“Newly Issued ‘Platinum Notes’ Set to Soar 1,173% — or More — by January 27th”

How’s that for a promise, eh? 1,173% — not just a great return, but a remarkably specific prediction. Will it come true? Well, let’s see if we can figure out what they’re talking about — the ad is for a special report that Sara Nunnally is pitching, published by the folks at Taipan, called “Gain [...]

“The California Effect: Make 900% Thanks to the Green Mafia”

Well, I promised to stray from all the gold talk for at least one day, so today we’re digging into a teaser from Michael Robinson for his BreakAway Investor — from my limited experience in dealing with Robinson, who took over this letter not that long ago, I can tell you that he appears enraptured [...]

“The Biggest Gold Mine in Europe Will Reopen in 2012″

That’s how we’re introduced to this new teaser ad letter from Dr. Stephen Leeb … “The Biggest Gold Mine in Europe Will Reopen in 2012, But You Can Get Your Stake In The Profits Today… “Since last July, shares in one of the world’s most promising junior gold miners have shot more than 200% higher. [...]

“Bursting with Gold: Newfoundland’s Golden Mountain” (Dan Ferris)

This new teaser from Dan Ferris for his Extreme Value newsletter wins the prize for “most questions sent to the Gumshoe” over the weekend … so I thought I better jump right on it this morning. If you get any of the Agora or Stansberry free emails, or subscribe to any newsletters in those families, [...]

“$4 Doubler to Hit $8 With or Without You” Navellier

Our old friend and teaser adversary Louis Navellier hasn’t been spinning so many teasers lately — I like to think he’s terrified of the Stock Gumshoe, and of the way that my brilliant, amusing, and awe-inspiring commentaries tear his teasers to shreds and lay waste to his marketing efforts. Sure, it’s a fantasy, but we [...]

“Tiny Gold Stocks About to Soar?” Matt Badiali

A large number of readers have sent in copies of the latest tease for Matt Badiali’s gold stock picks — Matt is the editor of the S&A Resource Report, a pretty popular but inexpensive (and therefore large) oil and commodities newsletter, but this time he’s sharing his picks only with the subscribers of Phase 1 [...]

“Little-known ‘S.E.A.’ Event to Rock Financial World on Nov. 19?”

The latest teaser ad for Jeff Clark’s S&A Short Report is getting a lot of attention from my readers — it’s all about something they call a “Special Earnings Announcement” (SEA), which essentially means an earnings announcement that stands out as likely to cause an outsized move in the stock, either up or down. Here’s [...]

“The Saudi Arabia of the Arctic” — Huge profits from Greenland’s Rare Earth Minerals?

We’ve looked at rare earth elements before (also called rare earth metals or minerals, and some of them are rare earth magnets), they’re a dozen different rare elements from the periodic table that have specific uses in lots of high tech gear, from batteries to missile guidance systems. China is widely credited with strategically undercutting [...]

What is the “Locked-down Lithium Play?”

If email volumes are any indication, investors are frantic about lithium as the next great growth “commodity” story — and a lot of my readers are really interested in learning more about the “locked-down lithium play” being teased by Alternative Energy Speculator. And hey, I like making money from electric cars as much as the [...]

“The Greatest Little Stock Nobody’s Ever Heard Of” (Marc Lichtenfeld)

Now this is a nice promise: “If This Stock Doesn’t Double Between Now and June 25, I’ll Write You an Apology – Along With a Check for $1,250″ Of course, one assumes that this only applies to the folks who pony up that same $1,250 for a subscription to the Access Research Group newsletter (and, [...]

“If you buy only one stock this year to recoup your losses quickly — make it …”

Most of the newsletter ads I see come pouring in through the email floodgates, but there are still a few publishers who invest in good ‘ol direct mail campaigns and send you actual letters in the mail — they realize, no dummies, that most of their potential customers are old enough that they might even [...]

“Sometimes you have to look under the hood to find the best opportunities …”

It seems like the folks at Cabot Heritage have been getting a lot of attention for the success of their China-focused newsletter lately, which has apparently led a lot of my readers to take some interest in them … which, in turn, means that when they spit out a wee teaser in one of their [...]
