As I promised yesterday, there’s a second “special report” being teased by Michael Lombardi as an enticement to new subscribers to his Investing with Michael newsletter … … the first one was that “New Swiss Bank” teaser that told us we could get 5% yields, growth and safety on par with the Swiss banks (or [...]
2012 where will the best opportunities to make money this year be?2012 where will the best opportunities to make money this year be? I keep hearing cloud will be the place, I hear the Facebook IPO will be the biggest event for the markets in our lifetime, possibly ever. What I am seeking is more of a macro view of where the market is heading and [...]
I hope you can forgive your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe for being a bit addle-brained, but I can’t seem to keep track in my head of the vast numbers of natural resources and commodities-focused newsletters that have sprung up (or been renamed) over the last year or two. I think this one is new, it’s called [...]

Sometimes the world just gives you a bad case of the “blahs.” The politicians are disappointingly putting their own political prospects above national interests, unemployment is terrible, friends are out of work, our houses are worth less than we thought, the world is in decline and we should be moving to a rural farm, burying [...]
I don’t think I’ve ever written about one of the teasers from International Living Investor before, but a recent ad from editor Chris Hunter caught my eye … he’s pitching an idea that he thinks might be the “holy grail” of agriculture investing. And agriculture investing is probably too hot as an idea right now, [...]
I left out the little asterisk in that headline — we’re also told that “your payment could be higher or lower than $4,000.” Which means, of course, that it could be zero … but still, let’s look into this odd headline and the teaser that follows it, and see if we can’t sniff out just [...]
If you’re going to start your ad off with a line like this: “One Stock is the Difference between a Good 2011 and a Rolling-in-the-Dough 2011 … AND YOU DON’T OWN IT!” Well, you’re going to get the Gumshoe’s attention. I haven’t had a good “roll in the dough” since Scrooge McDuck invited me over [...]

Here’s how this latest teaser ad begins: “On April 30, 2011, at a small gathering near Los Angeles… this little Agribusiness will make an announcement that could catapult its stock from $28 to over $150 in the coming months… “On May 27th, 2010, a private California-based company quietly went public. “Not because it wanted to [...]

Yesterday I started working on the latest teaser from Elliott Gue for his Personal Finance newsletter — it was a little bit anticlimactic, since the water treatment stock he’s teasing is a tough one for most small US investors to buy … but the good news is, that was just one of several stocks he’s [...]
This article is an excerpt from the May 21 Friday File (the extra commentary that paid members of this site receive) — but I’m still getting a lot of questions about Dan Ferris and his farming stock, so what follows is the part of that note regarding the teased agriculture company. I have not updated [...]
January Idea of the Month: A New Agribusiness Leader EmergesThis is paid content, to view it, log in or register as an irregular.
I cover Peter Schiff in this space from time to time, mostly because he sends out a newsletter every few months and includes some teaser picks that often sound interesting — of course, he runs a brokerage firm, not a newsletter, so he wants you to get a sales pitch from one of his brokers [...]
On a day when the faces walking by my house on their way to work at Fannie Mae headquarters are looking a little bit glum and uncertain, let’s stroll over to an entirely different section of the investing neighborhood. This is the subject line that has been filling up my inbox of late: “Controversial ‘Relief [...]
As another week of panic, fear, high oil prices, and skyrocketing food prices begins, let’s see if we can discover one of the folks likely to profit from the world’s hunger. Wow, that sounds much worse than I meant. OK, so we’re on the hunt for a fertilizer profiteer. Sorry. Just kidding! What we want [...]
Andrew Mickey runs Breakaway Investor and has a new service he’s selling now called Fear and Greed, and he must keep some solid copywriters on the speed dial because we’ve had any number of his teasers get our blood rushing over the past year. This one’s for a “secret market”, which is a technique he [...]
