Keith Fitz-Gerald and the folks at the Money Map Report are pitching something they call “Super Dividends” — payments that dwarf the typical dividend and that they say are even distinct from “special dividends.” But not content to promise big returns ($16,559 as soon as June 28, they say), they also claim that they can […]

I think the folks at Agora Financial staged a bit of an upgrade for their Lifetime Income Report last year when they brought on Neil George to manage it — not that he’s infallible, of course, or that the prior editor Jim Nelson was terrible (I don’t know his record) but George has been a […]
I don’t have any big updates on the Real Money Portfolio this week, or on my big-picture thinking (still holding a lot more cash than usual, still being mindful of stop loss triggers for momentum/growth stocks, still hoping some of my favorites will reach prices that inspire a buy soon, since we’re right in the […]
The folks at Street Authority are big fans of the “list of great stocks” teasers — they pitch the idea of a list of blue chippers that are either the top ten picks for this year, or the top ten “forever” buy and hold stocks, give one or two of them away to whet your […]
Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) hit a stop loss yesterday thanks to a sector-wide collapse of marijuana stocks. The big news that hits IIPR directly this week was that MedMen dropped its plan to buy PharmaCann, which is IIPR’s biggest tenant, so I did take the somewhat cautious step of buying a few protective puts just […]
The “Wal*Lord” teaser from Brian Hicks is not a new one, but I’ve had readers asking about it over and over during the last week or so — which must mean that it’s being re-run by Angel Publishing in an attempt to hoover up some more subscribers to The Wealth Advisory. So I took a […]
The 801(k) teaser letter for Stansberry and Associates’ 12% Letter was among the most hugely successful email campaigns out there — at least, if the interest of my readers is any indication. That ad generated more questions than any other for a period of about a year … … but that was back in 2007 […]
We see “Amazon can’t beat this one” ads every now and again for retailers — that was part of Oxford Club’s push for Planet Fitness earlier this week, for example — but this one is generating quite a few questions… and I haven’t written about one of Hilary Kramer’s ads for a while, so it […]
Louis Navellier started marketing his services late on Tuesday with an email that has the subject line: “Today’s Cut Takes us to the Brink!” In his words, “I have been telling my customers for several weeks now that this is the greatest buying opportunity of our lifetimes. But let me clarify: It’s not as simple as buying any old stock that’s cheap now, it’s about owning a mix of the highest quality stocks. That’s why I have spent the last few weeks creating what I call Action Plan For The Wipeout. Act today and you can put this plan to work for you, beat the market by over 3-to-1 AND be able to look at the morning news without flinching.”
What is his “Action Plan?” Read on for details!
OK, so my ancestry is mostly Swedish, and I can’t help but think of a smorgasbord when I see the latest email out from Louis Navellier for his Blue Chip Growth newsletter. If you don’t know what a smorgasbord is, it’s basically a big buffet layout of Swedish foods, often served at holidays. And like […]
I thought we’d take a look at a new teaser from Chris Versace today, someone I don’t think I’ve ever written about before. This one caught my eye because it’s being pitched not just as an unknown semiconductor maker in a sweet spot for one of what Versace calls global “Power Trends”, but because he […]
It seems we’ve officially entered a period of another “Fed Put” — Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s statements yesterday were widely interpreted to mean that there will be no interest rate hikes this year, or maybe ever again, and that the Fed will stop its “quantitative tightening” in six months or so, leaving a huge and […]
Once again today we take a gander at an MLP teaser — this time for the aptly named MLP Profits newsletter ($399, just FYI), with the ad coming in over the signature of Roger Conrad, one of the letter’s editors (Elliott Gue is the other). And the promise is lusty, as always: “You may need […]
Every year, on the day before Thanksgiving, I like to dig through the year’s teasers and try to pick one “favorite” as the Turkey of the Year — sometimes the worst performing pick, sometimes the most ridiculous, sometimes just one that stands out in some other silly or unfortunate way. Last year the Turkey was […]
The Cabot folks have apparently taken a liking to the “double your money this year” promise as their version of a “money back guarantee” — no, they don’t make up the difference, but they promise you a refund if the pick doesn’t double. A better deal than most newsletters as far as refund policy goes […]
This was originally published on June 3, 2013, and it continues to be one of the most-discussed topics we’ve covered during those years. The idea continues to be teased and promoted actively by Tom Dyson and his folks at Palm Beach Letter, sometimes using different names, so we’re re-posting it for those new readers who […]
*** This article was originally published as part of the Friday File on March 8, 2019.

If you’ve been around the halls of Stock Gumshoe University for a while now, you might know that your friendly and munificent Dean has a soft spot for teasers that invent special coded terms for ordinary investments — so today, I couldn’t resist taking a gander at what the folks at Personal Finance are calling […]
Happy Friday! I have a couple updates and notes for you today, but I thought I’d start with a look at a new teaser many of you have been asking about from Michael Robinson, it’s headlined “Cognitive Sight” and it’s really about artificial intelligence and it’s ability to make the blind see again (among many […]
That’s the promise of the “Newsmax Undercover Report” from Bill Spetrino’s Dividend Machine newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve looked at before. Here’s how the pitch begins: “While the Government Blows Your Money on $326 Pizzas . . . $3.9 Million Desk Rearrangements . . . and Billion-Dollar Moats . . . “An Inner Circle […]
This week, we’ll start out with the most boring news. U-Haul (UHAL) reported its results this week, and we saw the slowdown that probably most people anticipated… but it was a little worse than I expected. The challenge with all companies that go through a boom and bust cycle, like U-Haul did with the surge […]
Two of our companies got some good news on Monday, Brown & Brown (BRO) and Match Group (MTCH) will be joining the S&P 500 index, along with Ceridian (CDAY), replacing Unum Group (UNUM), NOV (NOV) and Perrigo (PRGO), which will be bumped down to the MidCap 400 (I don’t own those other four, to be […]
None of us who speculate or invest in individual stocks in a volatile market are really managing money with the dispassionate application of numbers and analysis, a computer could do most of that better than humans can… no, what we’re mostly managing is our emotions. It’s been a wild week, and it’s often hard to […]

Gold had its worst day yesterday since 2016, so that was a little shock to the system — mostly, I think, because the latest leaks and Tweets about the China trade dispute were relatively optimistic, with meetings scheduled for next month. It’s hard to imagine we’re going to have a “real” trade deal before the […]
Another week of fussing about macro issues that we can neither control nor predict, what fun! The Federal Reserve did exactly what the market demanded in cutting rates, but the market was still mad because they failed to promise that they would give us each a pony. President Trump seemed angered by the lack of […]

Michael Robinson runs the technology/venture newsletters for Money Map Press, and he’s out with yet another marijuana promo — after all, any newsletter that doesn’t jump on board the marijuana stock rocket is deemed pretty much irrelevant these days, just like any newsletter without a “crypto expert” was ignored in January. So yes, now Michael […]

Ed note: this article was first published in 2015, but the ad continues to run and readers continue to ask about it, so we’re re-posting this teaser solution for you today. What follows has not been meaningfully updated or revised since it was originally published on March 14, 2015, though some minor updates have been […]
Things will be a little quiet here at Stock Gumshoe for the next week or so — I’m off to do my big fundraising ride for Dana-Farber tomorrow, and will then be taking several days off to recuperate next week and spend time with family… I’ll be back with the Friday File next week, but […]

A few things to blather on about for you today — a teaser, a new mutual fund I’ve been following that has some appeal (and some of my money now), and some quick updates on my portfolio. First, though, I want to call attention to our discussions here at Stock Gumshoe. Most readers will never […]

A few relatively brief things for you today — updates on the flailing ICON and the high-yield MPW, and a few thoughts on “macro” panics in the market. First, the ugly — checking in on Iconix (ICON), which I last looked at a few months ago. The stock has gotten cut in half just since […]
