Today we look, for a change, at a UK company — this teaser comes in from the folks at Fleet Street Publications (the British partner of our favorite newsletter megalopolis, Agora), in an ad for a letter called Dr. Mike Tubbs’ Research Investments. The letter appears to focus on breakout technology and biotech stocks, with [...]
Yiannis Mostrous teased us well over a year ago about the stock that he thought was “the next McDonald’s” … and readers are telling me that he’s sending out a very similar ad campaign right now, so I thought I’d take a look. At the time, Mostrous was looking for subscribers to his Silk Road [...]
I haven’t sniffed out a HIlary Kramer teaser for a while, and lots of folks have been sending me the latest of her hypetastic ads, so I thought I’d dig into the one that sounded most compelling to me. The ad is for her GameChangers newsletter which, sort of in the mold of the Motley [...]
One of the more obscure asset classes got a big boost a number of years ago when the big institutional investors, particularly the ivy league endowment funds, started to emphasize it more, and when studies kept flowing about how this class has been one of the more perfect “diversifiers” for a portfolio: steady returns, not [...]
OK, so the folks at Cabot make it quite a habit to say “double your money in 2011 guaranteed” — that’s the promise they make when promoting each of their picks from the Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter, which is sold as a monthly “best of” selection from the stable of Cabot newsletters. Cabot’s [...]
I haven’t looked at a teaser ad from Steve Christ in quite a while, and this one sounds more solid and compelling than the last one of his that graced our pages, so I thought I’d give it a quick Gumshoe once-over for you. Christ’s newsletter is called The Wealth Advisory, and he says he [...]
Sometimes we have a tendency to forget that the reason to own something is almost always to earn money on your investment — and that’s where dividends come in. Movements in stock prices and capital gains depend on the vagaries of the market, with stocks sometimes priced at 10 times earnings and sometimes at 30X [...]
Here’s the lead-in to the latest ad for the Global Resource Alert “I’m Peter Krauth and I’d like to tell you a story about a “private vault”… “A ‘vault’ that contains nearly one million ounces of 99.9% pure gold bars ready for market, ready to sell for nearly $1.4 billion at today’s spot price. “This [...]
It’s been a little while since we dug into an Oxford Club promo, so this latest one that uses the eventual Facebook IPO as a hook caught my attention … in exchange for signing up for a membership in this particular club, they say you’ll “learn everything about making money from the ‘Facebook Effect.’” No, [...]
Whenever you’re feeling down in the dumps about some stocks, or fretting about the future of the economy … just read a promo ad from Louis Navellier. His love of fast-moving stocks is infectious, and it brings with it a simplicity that appeals to most of us: just buy the stocks that are going up [...]
The folks at Euro Pacific Capital, the brokerage built and owned by Peter Schiff, released their June Global Investor newsletter late last week — and, as they usually do, they teased a specific investment that they’re interested in. Now, this isn’t quite the same as our typical teaser target — Euro Pacific isn’t selling subscriptions [...]
Due to some unexpected schedule conflicts we’re running a previously published article today — what follows is excerpted from the Friday File (our weekly note to paying members) of April 29. The article has not been updated or revised, and the stock teased is down a few percent (though it did also pay a dividend [...]
Today’s article is a rerun of an article that first appeared for paying members of the site in the Friday File about two weeks ago. It has not been updated or revised, though both stocks mentioned are trading fairly close to where they were at the time this was first published. With IPO excitement again [...]
Never does this get boring. Every time thing seem to run a little dry here at Gumshoe HQ, and the reservoir of hypetastic teasers dips a little bit below the intake pipe … well, the flood comes again, regular as the rains (if not quite as seasonal). That’s how it’s been for a thousand teaser [...]
I like to mix things up a bit, cover different newsletter “gurus” and their teaser picks and try to put a good variety of folks under the Gumshoe microscope — but Byron King’s latest ad has caused so many questions to come pouring through the floodgates here at Gumshoe HQ that I feel like I [...]
