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 [...]
Hello & Happy New Year, I have been following PMMEF for quite some time. I bought a bunch at 44 cents after it came down from a high of around 80 cents. Since then, it has fallen steadily to 14 cents as of today. This stock drop seems to be at odds with reality in [...]
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 [...]
I do not know of their ”short interest,” so let us know, please, if you findout. These all are depressed penny stocks that can be considered as lottery tickets/gambling, I concede. Waccamaw, WBNK, Carolina coast, recently agreed to sell off 11 of its 16 branches to solvent bank. The intriguing to me deal is scheduled [...]
Essentially that’s what you’re doing when you buy shares of QXM, a Chinese phone manufacturer with $400 million cash on its books. Sounds like a great opportunity, but of course, with great opportunity there is also great risk. So in true Stock Gumshoe tradition, I will attempt to write a balanced summary on this company [...]
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 [...]
Byron King is pitching another teensy weensy rare metals stock for his Energy & Scarcity Investor newsletter from Agora, only this time it’s not the rare earth metals but a really light metal that he calls the “Fourth Element.” Which brings to mind several of the periodic table-focused teasers of years past, though particularly the [...]
These are the kind of teaser ads that always bring a smile to my face — top secret technology from “rogue” scientists, unknown breakthroughs that will change the face of the world and make us rich, that’s what teaser-land is all about! And certainly Nick Hodge knows that — all the publishers use the same [...]
I’ve recently had a lot of folks ask me what the “Idea of the Month” articles are like for the Irregulars, and what people get as paid members of the site. The basic answer is “more of the same,” though for the smaller group of paid members I am freer with my opinion and I [...]
Here’s the pitch that a bunch of readers sent me this week: “On June 28, 2011, a tiny Sunnyvale, CA based technology company, quietly made an incredible announcement. “In short, they’ve developed a new static random-access memory (“SRAM” for short) chip that drastically boosts online processing speeds. “Simply put, these chips are the fastest on [...]
Louis Basenese and the folks at White Cap Research are launching a new advisory service that looks for “game changers” in tiny stocks that they think will have hugely disruptive success — the newsletter is called MicroCap Tech Trader and will run you about a thousand bucks a year … but if that sounds a [...]
Friday File articles, like “Idea of the Month” writeups, are generally password-protected for our paying members — this commentary was made available to all readers on October 7, 2011 but the content not been edited or revised since the original publication date. The author continues to not have any personal interest in the stocks mentioned [...]
Well, yesterday we went through the first two picks that Patrick Cox is teasing as his “7 breakthrough companies” that will bring us our next “printing press moment” and change the world (while inflating your wallet). If you want to catch up with the rest of the group, that article is here. So let’s move [...]
Today we’re digging into a teaser ad that mentions several little companies, most of which appear to be in biotech … and which is so terribly urgent that they have to “this presentation from the Internet at 5pm Thursday, March 31st.” So, golly gee, we’ve only got one more day! Quick! The promise will sound [...]
This next teaser stock, we’re told … “Is Proof One Doctor Can Grow New Organs, Regenerate Limbs, and Eradicate Disease “And you can buy shares of his company right now, before anyone else knows it exists.” The tease is to get you to subscribe to Steve Christ’s newsletter, The Wealth Advisory — I’ve written about [...]
This tasty little teaser comes in from Bob Czeschin and Chuck de Castro, who apparently are trying to sell a research report for $500 that’s all about European shale gas — the big story of the pitch is that there are two little US companies who are about to “shatter Vladimir Putin’s dream of a [...]
I usually write about teaser stocks from legitimate investment newsletter publishers — folks like the Motley Fool, Stansbery & Associates, Agora, KCI, Investorplace, or Forbes, most of the big names that might be familiar to you. Many of the ads I see are over the top, filled with hype, misleading, or even laughable, but in [...]
Those who’ve been with the Gumshoe for a while know that it’s tough to top Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor for marketing that uses over-the-top hyperbole about tiny biotech and mining stocks, and creative names that obscure the truth behind their investments — that doesn’t seem to have changed much with the new(ish) guy at the [...]
