The folks at the Motley Fool have been promoting Dave Gardner’s Rule Breakers newsletter for years by using the same basic theme for their ads: Cloud computing scared Bill Gates into retirement, and the “Kings of Cloud Computing” in the next era will make you rich. If you’re not familiar with Gardner, he’s basically a [...]
Short Term Investment/Idea of the MonthMy ACTIVISION (ATVI) in short term investing this month is in some metals and plastics (some plumbing issues happening) and some agricultural commodities (reindeer food) along with consumer staples (cookies for Santa–YUM).

OK, [...]

Now that even Jim Cramer won’t shut up about Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) as a safer, high-yield, non-euro-exposed investment, perhaps we’ve “jumped the shark” on this investment? It’s always hard to tell — popular investments can always get more popular. But one thing’s for sure, Roger Conrad’s been talking up MLPs for quite a bit [...]
That provocative headline is there to get your attention, of course — plenty of folks disagree with Warren Buffett on one thing or another, but few believe him to be “mad.” No, what Hilary Kramer is trying to do is to draw your attention to the fact that Buffett finally bought a tech stock, IBM [...]
What is a good price for Sandstorm metal?Hey Travis (and irregulars), What is a solid price to buy for Sandstorm metals? I was thinking anything under .40, but was curious if anyone had a valuation that is making them target a certain price. It has really gotten creamed as of late. Any valuations or price thoughts on Sandstorm gold are welcome as [...]
I wrote recently about the teaser for Matt Badiali’s S&A Resource Report that pitched “the end of Silver” as the world runs out of that metal and prices are forecast (by him, at least) to skyrocket. But in that same teaser ad there was a brief hint about Badiali’s Yukon gold stocks, and so readers [...]

During our Holiday charitable membership drive I’ve been getting quite a few questions about what it means to be a Stock Gumshoe Irregular — so I thought I’d share another older Friday File for all of you, this is a piece that was originally published in the Friday File in early October, and it so [...]

What is this “Christmas Internet Outage” that Louis Navellier is teasing us about? Well, the short answer is that so many folks will get online goodies from Santa that they’ll swamp the Internet. Which is sort of possible, I guess — like most holidays, Christmas web traffic as a general rule is down substantially from [...]

This particular ad, or one very much like it with a few edits, has been running for about six weeks — it’s a pitch to get you to subscribe to Global Investment Strategist from Yiannis Mostrous ($497, thanks very much), and it’s all about a key Apple (AAPL) supplier. Which has been a hot investing [...]
