“Buy Gold for $1″ (a taste of the Friday File)
Readers often ask me, “What do you get for joining the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars?” — so this is by way of a partial answer. The Irregulars, the paying members of Stock Gumshoe, get a little extra commentary: a new article most Fridays that I call the Friday File, and one analysis per month of an [...]
What the Heck are “Turbo Caps?” I’m so glad you asked …
“Can you really make 6,800%… 12,300%… and 13,900%… all in ONE DAY?” “WANTED “Bold Investors to Test-Drive New ‘Turbo Cap’ Niche Market “Help me prove it’s really possible to turn $5,000 into as much as $1.5 million in the next six months… and I’ll give you a FULL YEAR of our breakthrough new service, Taipan’s [...]
Peter Schiff’s “Australian Energy Companies with Attractive Yields”
Peter Schiff is apparently not scaling back his brokerage work much to manage his Senate Campaign, despite the hit that his campaign took in the polls when Senator Dodd decided to retire rather then run for reelection (probably any of the candidates, including Schiff or Linda McMahon, could have beaten Dodd … beating the much [...]
“China’s Secret ‘Blue Gold’ Addiction”
This one came through my floodgates largely as a promo run to the subscribers of the free Bourbon and Bayonets newsletter from Oakshire Financial (second only to Whiskey and Gunpowder for the title that best brings up flannel shirts, gold, freeze-dried food and assault weapon survivalist imagery — personally, I’d rather subscribe to Whiskey and [...]
“The Comeback Stock of 2010″ Mark Skousen
It’s been quite a while since I looked at anything by Mark Skousen, but I had quite a number of queries about this teaser ad last week … and I confess, it piqued my interest a bit, too. So what is his “Comeback Stock of 2010?” Well, he’d be happy to tell you, of course [...]

“One Technology Can Keep America from Going Dark” (Money Map VIP Trader)
I was just puttering around this morning, trying to decide which ebullient and/or egregious teaser ad to focus on, when a new one came rolling in across the virtual transom … and it looked like just the thing to wake a Gumshoe up, so let’s dig in! The ad is from Horacio Marquez for his [...]
“The .25 China Stock You’ve Been Begging Me For” (Robert Hsu Rare Earths)
Well, I’ve gotten a big ‘ol boatload of questions about this ad from Robert Hsu, so let’s dig in. The teaser is for his Asia Edge newsletter, the expensive and somewhat more flexible letter that he edits — Hsu’s “entry level” newsletter is China Strategy, which focuses on US-listed ADRs of Chinese companies, but Asia [...]
“The New Industrial Super-Material that Could Replace Plastic and Steel” (Eric Roseman)
I haven’t written about any of the teaser ads from Eric Roseman of The Sovereign Society for a couple months, but this one caught my eye — and, clearly, the eyes of a great number of my readers (who are, in case I haven’t reminded you lately, the smartest, best-lookin’ and most insightful folks in [...]

“The Most Profitable Nuclear Advancement in 50 Years… ‘Monster Metal’”
Lots of folks have been asking about this pitch from Alternative Energy Speculator, a newsletter that has brought us a few interesting ideas (and, of course, a few duds) in the past. At the moment they’re charging about $500 for a year’s subscription, and clearly there are a lot of folks who’d like to learn [...]
“…Manipulation could make you 62% richer by ‘Opening Day’” (Markman)
I don’t end up writing about Jon Markman very often — he does a lot of marketing for his newsletter, but he rarely teases specific companies in his ads, he does a lot of short term (for me, at least) trading and uses ETFs for his core trading ideas, it seems … but he does [...]
“‘Inevitable’ disaster erases 117 years of American progress…” Motley Fool
This teaser starts, as so many of them do, by drawing a picture of the horrible future that a chosen stock can prevent … “On a hot summer day, just after the sun reaches its highest point, it begins… “Within minutes, cell phones go silent. Oil refineries shut down. Flights are grounded. Assembly lines grind [...]
“The $1.6 Trillion ‘Back Mountain’ Covenant”
Today’s ad comes rolling in from Zachary Scheidt for his New Growth Investor newsletter from Taipan, trumpeting the huge profits to come from the secretive “Back Mountain Covenant” that will allow Europe to break the Russian chokehold on natural gas. The teaser ad is a long one, of course — “short and sweet” rarely plays [...]

“The $59 Computer” — Riches coming?
There’s a small stack of potential teasers just sitting and waiting for the attention of the Thinkolator, but your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is but a humble servant to the masses of the assembled Gumshoe faithful … so when I start getting hundreds of questions about one specific teaser, that moves to the top of the [...]
“The Shock Heard Round the World — Big Pharma’s Holy Grail: The Vaccine of the Century”
And we’re back! Today, it’s a biotech teaser from Brian Hicks for Steve Christ’s The Wealth Advisory (we last looked at one of his a few months back, when he was predicting a big move in Geron by this Spring — that one’s still on the clock, so we’ll see). This time the tease is [...]
