Here’s the pitch for the ad I’m looking at this morning: “At the equivalent of $1.50 per gallon, the ‘fuel of the future’ is over 50% cheaper than diesel. And it’s many times safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly… “But what only a few people know — the rich, connected people, like Pickens and Soros [...]
I’ve written a few times about Chuck de Castro’s Penny Mining Speculator, and even invested in one or two of his little microcap ideas from time to time (the most recent was Hill End Gold, which I no longer own) … and I know folks always love to find out about teensy little gold miners [...]
You know who I’ve been missing lately? Good ‘ol Louis Navellier — no one spins a promise and gets the heart racing for a growth stock like he does … so even though his latest ad isn’t one of the oldies but goodies (“this stock will double in a month or your money back!”), it’s [...]
Today we’re taking a look at a stock that’s getting a fair amount of attention from Andy Obermueller as he throws out the lure to catch subscribers for his new Fast-Track Millionaire newsletter. His pick of iCad (ICAD) a week or two ago has shown a big price spike (though that could evaporate as interest [...]
Today we’ve got an interesting tease that a few readers sent in — it’s from the White Cap Report folks, who generally look for potentially high-octane growth stocks, and it’s about some kind of biotech stock. Here’s how they get our blood flowing this fine morning: “California Biotech Cleared to Bypass FDA – Next Month [...]
Well, someone on the forum just this morning asked if we could “stick a pin in this balloon” … and I’m happy to oblige. The “Penny Bonds” teaser is in an ad for True Income, a newsletter from Mike Williams over at Stansberry & Associates, and it’s all about how these investments can be “more [...]
This ad from Jim Nelson for his Lifetime Income Report caught my eye, in part because most of my ancestors came here from Sweden a few generations back to farm the upper Midwest and, apparently, strike stern poses for photographers. Today, though, the “Scandinavian Income” we’re being teased about is from the really wealthy part [...]
There’s something just lovely about the humble quotation mark — throw a couple of ‘em around a word, and you can put that word wherever you want and apparently face no consequences. This ad is for the Safe Haven Investor newsletter from Taipan, which is now edited by Kent Lucas, and, as usual, it’s pretty [...]
If you were with us yesterday for our trip down memory lane into the Bakken Formation, then you’re ready for the followup — the folks at the Oxford Club teased us about three companies that have acreage and/or production in the Williston Basin in and surrounding North Dakota, and I shared two of those with [...]
The latest ad from the Oxford Club has been rolling in on Gumshoe Beach in mighty waves, so let’s jump right on it before our loungers are submerged … it’s all about oil, as you might have guessed from the headline, and it’s all about a huge oil field that’s “buried beneath the midwestern prairies.” [...]
That’s the headline of a very brief teaser that’s been circulating from Andy Obermueller, one of the StreetAuthority newsletter editors — he started out with the Government-Driven Investing newsletter about a year ago, a letter that brought us plenty of interesting teasers, and also apparently edits Fast-Track Millionaire, a new service that they’re launching soon [...]
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve written about this particular investment newsletter from the Stansberry folks, so I thought I should take a look for all the new people we have on board here at Stock Gumshoe over the last six months … and to see if he’s changing up his strategy at [...]
This article is an excerpt from the May 21 Friday File (the extra commentary that paid members of this site receive) — but I’m still getting a lot of questions about Dan Ferris and his farming stock, so what follows is the part of that note regarding the teased agriculture company. I have not updated [...]
This article was originally published in February, it has been “lightly updated” in honor of the teaser ad’s resurgence in my email box. This teaser ad looks like it’s the launch of a new service from Christian DeHaemer, who has blessed us with a great many “Indiana Jones” teasers over the years, talking about the [...]
Robert Hsu’s copywriters can tease your credit card out of your wallet as quick as just about anyone, but the clues I wanted to dig through today are from something that Robert Hsu wrote that poses as an actual “article” on his AsiaInsider site — this is all about one of his China stocks that [...]
When Mr. Market is acting like this, flopping around like a dying fish on the dock, I must admit that promises to “snag an easy double” catch my attention more than they otherwise might. After all, a double — just a 100% return — is much tamer than the promises of 2,000%, or 16,000% gains [...]
