Today’s tease hits home for most savers — the return you get for your money in the bank stinks, and most savings accounts and similarly “safe” savings vehicles yield don’t have interest yields that are even high enough to keep up with inflation. So the promise of a “savings account” that yields 8.2% is obviously [...]

Robert Hsu has been running this teaser ad for his Asia Edge newsletter for a week or two now, and I’ve gotten enough questions that it seems there’s some demand for the Gumshoe version (ie, the free version) of the answer. It seems unlikely, by the way, that this tease about the “Facebook of China” [...]
I guess maybe that headline should be that we can buy Canada’s best junior miners for 69 cents on the Loonie, but that just doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily (though perhaps it should — remember when the Canadian dollar only cost us Americans about 65 cents? It’s now worth more than the depreciating [...]
Happy Holiday! It’s President’s Day here in the U.S., and Family Day up on the Canadian side of the border, so the markets and interwebs are pretty quiet. On this placid day, I thought you might be interested in a look at a teaser I thought I had shared with everyone before — turns out, [...]
February Idea of the Month: Sprott’s New BankThis is paid content, to view it, log in or register as an irregular.
Rare earths mania among investors has hit extraordinary new heights over the last eight months or so, and I’ve written about almost all of the rare earth miners of any size at one point or another during that time. Most recently, the promotion that caught a lot of attention from my readers was from Byron [...]
I haven’t sniffed out much in the way of dividend-paying stocks or income strategies in recent weeks, so this latest teaser from the folks at Cabot caught my eye. It’s not really a tease for Cabot picks, but for the digested picks of the Dick Davis folks (Dick Davis Digest is a regular digest of [...]
This next teaser stock, we’re told … “Is Proof One Doctor Can Grow New Organs, Regenerate Limbs, and Eradicate Disease “And you can buy shares of his company right now, before anyone else knows it exists.” The tease is to get you to subscribe to Steve Christ’s newsletter, The Wealth Advisory — I’ve written about [...]
Today I’m sniffing out a solution to a teaser that is just a couple sentences long — not really a “hyped to the moon” stock like so many I write about, but one that sounded interesting to me (and to enough of my readers that the questions are piling up a little bit). It’s from [...]
Yes, let me begin today by again making it very clear: It ain’t my guarantee. When I put stuff in quotation marks, it means I’m borrowing the language from the letter or ad that I’m sleuthifying — I know that quotation marks are a fairly ordinary part of our language, but I still get lots [...]

I certainly don’t mean to impugn those without sight or hearing, but if you can read or listen, and have ever given your email address to any kind of financial website, chances are pretty good that you’ve been pitched this week about the “Chi-Tab” by Frank Curzio for his pricey Phase 1 newsletter at Stansberry [...]
New Personal Buy: FeroniaThis is paid content, to view it, log in or register as an irregular.
Given the massive mailing list reach of Agora, Chris’ publisher, you’ve almost certainly been sent this ad for his Mayer’s Special Situations newsletter — it’s all about a tiny stock (of course — they’re always tiny) that can make you massive gains by virtue of the oil they’re going to suck away from Iran’s massive [...]
Today’s teaser comes in from a name I haven’t heard before, a newsletter called Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin that’s put out by Keith Schaefer. Apparently it’s been around for a year and a half or so, and focuses on new technologies in the oil patch. And while I haven’t seen any teaser ads from [...]
That “new boom is born” the subject line of the email ads/articles I’ve been receiving from Andrew Mickey for his Prudent Investing newsletter from Q1 Publishing — which I think is still just him at this point. My understanding is that Mickey started Q1 after getting fired from Taipan a couple years ago, long-time Gumshoe [...]

I haven’t written about one of the profligate predictions from the Cabot crowd in a while, so the headline about “double your money in 2011 guaranteed” caught my eye. The pitch for their “secret” idea is in an ad for their Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter, which they use to pick ideas from one [...]
If you’re like most of my readers, you’ve probably seen this very high-voltage teaser a few times in recent days — it’s all about cybersecurity, but the Oxford Club folks aren’t content to just tell you that online security and hacker-fighting is a large and growing business, they apparently also want to scare your pants [...]
