$884 Million of a Serbian King’s Gold (Republished from the Friday File)
Though the “secret” stock behind this teaser has been identified many times in the comments here and elsewhere, I continue to get a lot of questions about the “Serbian king’s gold” — so since I wrote this one up in a Friday File for the Irregulars about two weeks ago I can now share my [...]
“U.S. Oil Reserves Just Doubled … The Future of Fracking”
This is the latest teaser ad from Brian Hicks for his $20 Trillion Report, which teases us about a new idea in fracking technology that will release more oil and gas with lower environmental costs … all you have to do to learn about his favorite small cap oil stock is to subscribe to his [...]
“Box” Your Gold Stocks … and find “an extremely rare opportunity”
After several years of touting (and sometimes teasing) microcap mining stocks for subscribers of Stansberry’s super-expensive Phase 1 newsletter, Matt Badiali is launching a new letter that focuses on these small stocks, picks that he says are too small and volatile for his inexpensive S&A Resource Report letter. This letter is called the S&A Junior [...]
Can you Really Buy Silver for $2.08?
If you’ve been treading the boards at the good ol’ Gumshoe Theater of Oddities for more than a few months, this teaser for silver may sound familiar to you: “How To Buy U.S. Government Created Silver For $2.08″ The tease is an attempt to get you to sign up for Dr. David Eifrig’s Retirement Millionaire [...]

“Wall Street ‘Goof’ to Deliver your next Double” (and a fat yield)
Today we come back once again to our old friend Louis Navellier — largely because he’s pitching something that my readers ask me about all the time, a way to get a decent income yield from a mining stock (most of which, despite all the teasers about gold stocks that pay dividends, have tiny yields [...]
“The $58 Billion Mining Coup of the Century” (Sovereign Society)
Well, we have here today another of those stinkin’ teaser ad “presentations” that doesn’t allow access direct to the transcript … so I’ve got to listen to the whole dang thing. Never doubt how much I love you, dear Gumshoe Faithful! Here’s the pitch from the Sovereign Society, from Jeff Opdyke (he’s teasing to tempt [...]
“‘Hack’ the Stock Market” With Your 18-Digit Code!
Dr. David Eifrig is one of the Stansberry writer/editors, and for a couple of years now he has put out the Retirement Millionaire newsletter that seems to be largely focused on ways to get special perqs and discounts as a retireee … as well as a bit of financial commentary and ideas, I’m told (I [...]

“The 3 Kings of Cloud Computing: Version 2.0″
The Motley Fool folks have been using the “3 Kings of Cloud Computing” special report to pitch David Gardner’s Rule Breakers newsletter for a couple years now, and have occasionally even given away all three of those stock picks for free as part of their “give us your email” list building exercises — but I [...]

Which Tiny .70 Company Found the “Supernova Gold” Mother Lode?
Those who’ve been with the Gumshoe for a while know that it’s tough to top Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor for marketing that uses over-the-top hyperbole about tiny biotech and mining stocks, and creative names that obscure the truth behind their investments — that doesn’t seem to have changed much with the new(ish) guy at the [...]
“Grandson of Eccentric Texas Oilman H. L. Hunt Could Help You Pocket $400,000 This Winter”
I’ve really been enjoying the Elliott Gue teaser ads lately, his copywriters have been throwing out some good stories about conspiracies and backroom deals — my favorite recent one was when he was telling us that he thought the Rockefellers would take over a certain deepwater drilling company a few months ago, and today’s ad [...]
“Last time you can buy this stock under $10 … ever”
Nothing pushes investors to sign up for a newsletter subscription like urgency … that’s why the copywriters are trained to tap into the reptilian greed centers in our brains and tell us that this unbelievable, hot, stupendous stock market opportunity is only available for a few precious moments so you really simply must sign up [...]
“You’ll Be a Walmart Millionaire Within 18–24 Months!”
That headline comes from the top of the latest teaser ad from Roger Conrad for his Canadian Edge newsletter — and he usually recommends relatively sedate high-income investments like utilities and Canadian trusts, which made the pitch for this idea stand out as a bit extra-hypey for him … and therefore, of course, I wanna [...]

“Gov’t Code SR-417 Mandates $139 Billion ‘Private Wealth Release’”
Today’s delightful tidbit of teasermania comes in from Marc Lichtenfeld, who tends to focus on biotech and health care stocks. He’s been around for a while, and is now drumming up members for the Oxford Club instead of one of his own biotech-focused letters, and pitching some ideas that sound like they’re a little larger [...]
“Revolutionary Mining Company with 1,000%+ Potential Returns”
An attentive reader recently forwarded an email teaser ad to me for a newsletter called The Dollar Vigilante, not one I’d heard of before — but it is edited by Ed Bugos, whose name might ring a bell if you frequent gold and mining websites, and the teaser language rang a little bell deep in [...]
