The one area of the web that has as many “self help” and “miracle solutions” newsletters (and marketing teasers) as personal finance is health — the investing newsletters promise eternal wealth, and the health newsletters promise eternal life (or something dang close). Readers ask us about the crazy marketing for these health newsletters all the [...]
Tony Sagami has a new trading service being launched that focuses on Asian stocks, called The Asian Century — it appears that his old service, Asia Stock Alert, has gone quietly into the good night without me noticing, as have several of the newsletters that rode the Chinese dragon both up and down over the [...]
Every biotech-related teaser ad promises that you can make life-changing profits while also curing the world of a dread disease, of course — that’s why we love ‘em. But this one’s a little bit different — they are teasing a biotech company that is trying to develop new drugs, but according to the pitch this [...]
I’m a menber of O.C. but not a subscriber to the Healthcare Proffits Alert Service as $895 isn’t falling out my pockets at this time. There is an extremely interesting teaser called Cures on Demand. The stocks currently at Approx $5. The teaser can be found at http://www.oxfordclub.com/cures , any ideas what it may be. [...]

This article originally ran on January 8, 2013. It has not been updated save for the addition of this brief introductory note. More recent ad pitches on this same topic that say the stock and ticker have been “hacked” probably refer to our coverage of the story, but the more recent ads do not appear [...]
Hospital acquired infections are a huge health care problem — and where there’s a huge problem, there are people trying to make money by solving it. That’s the beauty of the entrepreneurial spirit … and you’ve probably seen various teasers over the years about companies that are trying to “kill the superbugs” and help both [...]
Hello Travis – I am new to the site this week as an irregular but I have been reading your material for a couple of months now. I was just going through your previous ideas of the month. I see that you previously had DDD and STSS in these ideas (great choices obviously). My question [...]
The folks at Cabot are no stranger to promises of doubles and triples — and they especially like to trot out specific pitches like this one, that a health care stock is going from $15 to $45 … and that, of course, makes us quite curious about just what stock they’re talking about. You too? [...]
The Wealth Advisory is one of those “entry level” newsletters that pretty much all publishers put out — it costs less than a hundred bucks a year, and it gets you used to paying for financial analysis without feeling too much pain … sort of a gateway drug before you get pitched on the “hard [...]
I was wondering what your take on the legalization on marijuana stands for investors? Any picks or suggestions on what to look for on this? Print this

Both of these teaser ads are designed to encourage investors to subscribe to his Breakthrough [...]
As promised, we’re following up with the rest of the picks that Stephen Leeb (sorry, Dr. Stephen Leeb) is pitching as his “MCR” Plan. If you missed our first entry as we began demystifying this particular ad, you can see it here — the short version is, he’s touting dividend paying stocks in the medical [...]
I haven’t written about any teasers from Dr. Stephen Leeb lately, but this one caught my eye — he’s got not only a made up term for an investment (the “MCR Plan”), but also a made-up term for how you’ll profit from it (“Income Stacking”). So the great readers of Gumshoedom have asked for answers, [...]
“Why I’m Ready to Place a $2,450 “Bet” on Your Behalf… “Given what we’ve learned about one tiny drug company – and the documented 82% success rate within the category of drug it’s developed – we think this is the “surest thing” we’ve ever found… “How this ‘wager’ could make you thousands of dollars (or [...]

I was watching a program from early 2011 Nova on PBS last night when I googled it this article actually hit the press this morning. Is anyone following this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/6005311/Microscopic-nanobees-sting-cancer-tumours-to-death.html Print this
Does anyone have any experience or insight into Biostem , trading as HAIR? I don’t have a large position in it but it tanked soon after I bought it and pretty much hasn’t moved . I’m cleaning house at the moment and this stock would be a prime candidate to send to the ”lessons learned” [...]
