“The Ultimate Buy Signal: Two Stocks Every Investor Should Be Loading Up On Right Now.”

Today’s tempting teaser is from the Motley Fool brothers, Dave and Tom Gardner — well, they didn’t write the ad, that fell to the publisher so they didn’t have to get their hands dirty with hucksterism, but they’re the ones recommending the stocks. The ad’s theme is an update on one that they’ve been using [...]

“Bank 1369% Off Mongolia’s Secret Uranium Rush”

Today I’m running late for a performance by one of my fabulously talented children, so I have to give you just a brief answer and open up the floor for questions and comments — let you, in short, do the research without much of a head start from me. I can, however, at least tell [...]

“The most compelling, under-the-radar way to play what promises to be the biggest tech breakout of 2011″

Sometimes a tease comes in as a heavy promo push, sometimes it’s a slightly more subtle pile of hints in a free article that gently suggests that you subscribe to their premium service … today’s item for sleuthification is the latter. Louis Basenese, who is pitching for the White Cap Report, wrote a free article [...]

“One Phone. Three Numbers…. Second Chance to Lock Up My Next 10-Bagger”

Here’s how Louis Navellier pitches his next uber-hot idea for a stock that gives you three phone numbers on one phone and 10-bagger profits: “Last May I told you about a new wireless juggernaut whose 3-in-one proprietary technology and earnings growth matched Envirodyne, which handed us a monster 1,700% gain a few years back. “Since [...]

“Beware the Oil Pirates of Somalia” (Christian DeHaemer)

I can’t tell you that Christian DeHaemer, who’s now one of the editors of Energy and Capital and runs the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter for those same publishers, is pushing Somali oil right now — but I can say that an offhand aside he threw into a recent free article had lots of my readers [...]

Did Henry Chiang make coal and oil obsolete? “Chinese researcher unveils nighttime solar energy”

This is now the second time we’ve seen a “nighttime solar energy” pick from the folks at Angel Publishing — last time it was for a solar spray-on film innovation, in a pitch for Green Chip Stocks Premium where they claimed that a company had “perfected sunless solar,” and this time it’s a pitch from [...]

“Buy China’s secret silver stock before it doubles”

Since there was such a spirited discussion following our look at the “treasure map” of hoarders who can sell you bags of “treasure”, this latest teaser from Nicholas Vardy also caught my eye. Why? Well, because that “treasure map” bit was all about junk silver (old circulating silver currency), and the discussion was largely of [...]

“One of the Hidden Internet Pioneers of 2011″

Last week I started taking a look at a Nancy Zambell teaser for her Buried Treasure Under $10 newsletter, and I’ve had quite a few folks chime in that they’d like to hear about her second stock as well … so here goes: Zambell’s pitch is that she finds unknown, undervalued stocks at low prices [...]

What is the “Gov’t. Issued 1965 Treasure Map” — Can You Find “Treasure Bags” in 776 Cities?

How can you find sacks of treasure located around 776 cities around the country? That’s the pitch from Retirement Millionaire from Stansberry & Associates — the ad, which is one of those good ol’ video ads that doesn’t happen to link to a text version, even includes a “treasure map” of those cities around the [...]

“Unknown Blockbuster Getting Ready to Double” (Zambell)

It’s been a little while since I wrote about a Nancy Zambell teaser — she writes the Buried Treasures Under $10 newsletter, and in the short history of that letter she’s apparently had pretty good performance … and, one expects, makes it sound even better than it was (the letter launched two years ago, almost [...]

Can you Bank with the Rothschilds in Africa?

We’re mired in snow emergency up here in Massachusetts, so today’s article is a rerun — this was originally published as part of the Friday File for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars on November 12. It has not been revised or updated except to update the disclosure information at the bottom. As far as I know [...]

“2 Tiny US Companies Shattering Vladimir Putin’s Dream”

This tasty little teaser comes in from Bob Czeschin and Chuck de Castro, who apparently are trying to sell a research report for $500 that’s all about European shale gas — the big story of the pitch is that there are two little US companies who are about to “shatter Vladimir Putin’s dream of a [...]

“Goldman Just Gave XXXX a $X Price Target!” A Little Look at Penny Stock Promoters

I usually write about teaser stocks from legitimate investment newsletter publishers — folks like the Motley Fool, Stansbery & Associates, Agora, KCI, Investorplace, or Forbes, most of the big names that might be familiar to you. Many of the ads I see are over the top, filled with hype, misleading, or even laughable, but in [...]
