We’re living in a bipolar world these days, it appears — I continue to get hundreds of email promos forwarded to me every day (thanks for that, by the way — the Gumshoe doesn’t work without fuel!), but these days the most ardent requests are those for either microcap gold or rare earth miners/explorers, or [...]
Today it’s finally time to get around to what has probably been the most-requested teaser ad of the last few weeks — if you haven’t seen it, it comes in under several different headlines all comparing this “Mainz” income stream to the thousands raked in by Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and teases us that we [...]
Yesterday I looked at Martin Hutchinson’s teaser for his Merchant Banker Alert, and promised that I’d try to get to the other ideas … so since I’m a bit too sick today to start a brand new adventure with you, let’s keep gnawing at this bone for a while … That article, by the way, [...]
Martin Hutchinson has a new letter coming out called the Merchant Banker Alert, which seems to be focused on finding stocks that are unusual and foreign and perhaps even a bit difficult to trade, the kind of stuff that makes up, or so we’re told, the “rich man’s market” where only the wealthiest 1% invest. [...]

Ah, good ‘ol Robert Hsu — it looks like he recommended a stock on August 19 to his subscribers, a coal company in China at about $11, it shot up to $16 (thanks in no small part to that recommendation, I’d water), and then it collapsed over a couple weeks to the current price, under [...]
You’ll be unsurprised to hear that the rise in gold this week has caused the copywriters to enter their frenzy stage — one half expects that there will be a run on replacement keyboards as these eager souls bang away and wear out their “G”, “O”, “L” and “D” keys. Which doesn’t mean that this [...]
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Luke Burgess’ latest teaser ad for his Underground Profits newsletter, all about what he’s calling “Lake Superior’s $1.9 Trillion Secret” … … and that crafty “Lake Superior secret” phrase might sound familiar — it was used by Greg McCoach’s copywriters a few years ago to pitch some other [...]
This is a fun one to start off the week with — Christian DeHaemer, who writes the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter that got us all so gaga over Mongolia early this year has a new pick to tease for us that he calls “God’s Chosen Investment” (that Mongolian oil push continues, by the way, my [...]

Investors who got in early on some of Robert Hsu’s other picks in the Chinese for-profit education sector could easily have done quite well (though whether that’s a result of Hsu’s prescience or fortunate timing in the China boom can be debated as much as you like), so I thought we should take a look [...]
I often find myself getting stuck in a rut writing about the same folks over and over — the Motley Fool guys, the various Agora offspring (Stansberry, Angel, etc.), Robert Hsu and Louis Navellier and their Investorplace colleagues come up over and over, largely because they’re the ones who push the most aggressive teasers … [...]
If there’s one asset class that attracts individual investors like lemmings every time it hits a new high, it’s gold. And if there’s one thing that newsletter publishers know, it’s to sell the people what they want … whether they know they want it or not. So today we’ve got a new high in the [...]
I wrote about an Elliott Gue pick for his “premium” Energy Strategist newsletter for the Irregulars over the weekend (it appeared in the delayed Friday File today), so I thought I might as well just make it an “all Gue, all the time” day and cover another one of his teasers today. Especially because he [...]

Questions are piling in once more about Byron King’s “Oil Kitchen” teaser ads about a big oil field offshore Namibia that he hopes will mirror the huge fields offshore Brazil, so I thought I’d share the article that I wrote to the Irregulars (the paying members of Stock Gumshoe) in the Friday File on July [...]
Well, yesterday I wrote quite a bit about tobacco — so today, though my time is a bit short (getting the kiddos prepped for school is shortening the work week a bit), I thought I’d look into a sin stock sector that I like a lot more: alcohol. And the one that tickled my taste [...]
I always like to see what Dan Ferris is recommending for subscribers of his Extreme Value newsletter, in part because I’m personally invested in a few of his picks that have done well (Altius Minerals and Sprott Resource), and in part because I’m generally sympathetic to the notion that long-term “value” investing is the best [...]
