“This ‘Cloud’ Has A Golden Lining (and a 9% dividend)” (Roger Conrad)
We looked at a few teaser picks from the Australian Edge service back when it launched last Fall, but this appears to be the first big push for new subscribers since then (don’t know the track record so far, but they say they’re “on track” for 106% gains this year). I’ve gotten this teaser ad [...]
“How to Play Genomics for Potential Triple-Bagger Gains”
Marc Lichtenfeld, who we’ve covered a number of times in this space, focuses largely on biotech investments — he’s teased a number of them for a variety of different newsletters that he has helmed or contributed to, but it looks like he’s now launching a new letter from the Oxford Club called FirstLine Investor Alert. [...]
Crippled by a Lie, Profit Margins Exploding, and “Location, Location, Location”
More “Contrarian Bonanza” picks, you ask? Well of course! There are several new teaser ads stacking up in the Thinkolator’s inbox, but before we get to those … let’s close the book on the “contrarian bonanza” picks from the Weiss folks as they tease their Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio. There are three left of the seven [...]
“Contrarian Bonanza … the company just raised its revenue targets by nearly 80%. Wall Street barely noticed.”
It’s a long list of teasers that tempts us into the Weiss fold, enticing us to subscribe to his real-money Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio. Tempted to subscribe? No, not the mighty Gumshoe! Tempted to sniff out the answers for free? You bet! The first teaser picks from this ad inspired a bit of debate (though, to [...]
Another “Contrarian Bonanza” — “world-beating stock that has recently been unfairly taken to the cleaners”
I said I’d keep digging into the picks from Martin Weiss and Tom Essaye as they teased ‘em for their Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio service, so let’s sniff around and see where the clues send us. The first unveiling of one of these picks, if you missed it, also included the basic background on the MDCP [...]
Top “Contrarian Bonanza” Picks from the Million Dollar Contrarian Portfolio
It’s been quite a while since I wrote about a Martin Weiss teaser — he publishes a number of letters at Weiss Research, and this is is “contrarian portfolio” letter that follows along as an analyst (Tom Essaye in this case) invests Weiss’ own million dollars. They haven’t been teasing many specific picks for this [...]
“What you don’t know about Steve Jobs’ final vendetta …” (Motley Fool)
The folks at the Motley Fool have run lots of ads for stock picks that “piggyback” on the iPhone’s gargantuan success — as have lots of other newsletter publishers, of course — and it looks like that trend will continue. The ad I’ve seen today takes a somewhat different tack on this same basic idea [...]
“Territory 4: How to Make a Fortune in the World’s Richest Gold Belt” — “Thinly Traded Gold Firm” for “75 People Only” (Frank Curzio’s Phase 1)
I generally don’t like to write about super-heavily-hyped microcap stocks for the whole Gumshoe readership, because we’re almost guaranteed to cause a spike in the price for that stock. So when I saw the latest teaser for the Phase 1 folks over at Stansberry, and those teasers always cause a huge flood of emails to [...]
“Freeze the Fat Away … Quick 40% Profit” (Hilary Kramer)
I’ll admit right up front that there’s something appealing about this company’s service, at least for your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe … who is a bit more roly-poly than he might like. It’s Hilary Kramer pitching to us again, teasing us that she’s recommending a company that can “freeze the fat away” and that should be [...]
“Miracle Stem Cell ‘Cure’ Could Allow 10 Million Blind To See Again”
Curing the blind — that sounds lovely, eh? That’s the headline of the latest ad from Patrick Cox … … we’ve seen many overpromising ads from Cox’s Breakthrough Technology Alert over the years, and they never fail to catch the attention of the great Gumshoe readership. It is, after all, just the kind of thing [...]
What is “The ‘Black Ops Resource’ – 51 Times More Valuable Than Gold?”
Friday File look at the latest Oxford Club teaser

“Dividend Diluvia” and the “Fed Savings Account” Secret
I haven’t written much about the Palm Beach Letter, but Tom Dyson and Michael Masterson/Mark Ford have been given free reign to pitch their newsletter to most of the Agora and Stansberry mailing lists, it appears, so we sure see a lot of their ads. And lots of folks have been asking about this one, [...]
Starting the Year with the Other Experts …
Most of the time I write about the investment newsletter business — the pundits who sell their expertise, the copywriters who make the mundane seem otherworldly, and the outrageous promises and teases that the publishers use to convince us to subscribe to newsletters that proffer investment research and stock tips. But it’s worth noting that [...]
Happy New Year! Want to Win a Silver Coin? (Really!)
Entries so far can be seen here. To enter the contest, click here (must be logged in as an Irregular). It’s a bit early to be wishing you a Happy New Year, but Stock Gumshoe will be closed until the new year begins, with limited back-office operations going on but no new articles published — [...]
“Double Your Money in 2012″
I thought we might be done for the year … but before we turn out the lights here at Gumshoe HQ for our Christmas week vacation, I couldn’t resist sharing one last teaser tidbit for you — after all, if you’re thinking about what to do with your money next year, what could be better [...]
A Look Back at 2011′s “Big” Winning Teases
We’re preparing to shut down Gumshoe HQ for a week or so — one vestige of my former life in academia is a strong belief that no one should work between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so we will not be publishing anything new until next year (don’t worry, we’ll still keep an eye on [...]
“Sell These Five Names FAST … Buy These Stocks Instead”
Everyone loves a bit of “what you should do next year” advice at this time of the year — the magazines are full of it, the newspapers issue predictions, and all the newsletter folks swirl their tea leaves around and proclaim that it’s going to be “The Year of X!” No, not X as in [...]

“An unstoppable $160 BILLION force that could make early investors a small fortune…” (Motley Fool)
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 [...]
