Real Wealth Report by Larry Edelson.

“Don’t Buy Facebook’s IPO — Buy This Instead”

The “Don’t buy Facebook’s IPO” bit is not from me, just to be clear — I doubt I’ll want to pay whatever the price is that FB costs when it’s actually trading on Friday (if it goes through as expected), but if I could get shares in the actual initial offering at the offering price, [...]

“Radical Tech Dividends” — Opportunity Last Seen in 2004 (Michael Robinson)

Well, it didn’t take Michael Robinson long to alight on a new letter — the former editor of American Wealth Underground left his publisher and newsletter a while back (don’t know why, or if it was voluntary) and has now moved to Money Map Press. Both publishers (his old one was Insiders Strategy Group) are [...]

“A Bonus Ten-Bagger Playing Government Regulation … Cleaning Water at Half the Price”

I wrote a few weeks ago about Christian DeHaemer’s “Ring of Fire” teaser that was all about the revolution in hydrofracking and the huge natural gas profits that will come to folks who buy his favorite stocks. And yes, if you remember, he wasn’t pitching the actual natural gas producers (that’s a bold and contrarian [...]

“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 [...]

“How the Coming Switch to Digital Currency Could Make You Rich” (Jeff Opdyke)

I usually have fun looking at Jeff Opdyke’s teasers — he writes the Sovereign Individual letter for the Sovereign Society, and he often picks up on little foreign stocks that pique my interest (as you’ve probably noted, I have a soft spot in my heart for obscure stuff that’s sometimes hard to trade — it’s [...]

“Meet the Company Behind Apple’s Incredible Profit Surge” (Robert Hsu Teaser Deciphered)

We haven’t looked at a pick from Rober Hsu’s China Strategy in quite a while — and it’s not just that we’re ignoring him, as far as we can tell InvestorPlace has not been promoting his newsletters very actively over the last six months or so. Which probably isn’t a huge surprise — China stocks [...]

“Why a tiny Colorado gold stock is about to pay dividends in real gold bullion… and why I just put $220,000 into it” (Doody)

We’ve written about John Doody a few times over the years, largely because the Stansberry folks have been promoting his newsletter and therefore spreading the gospel of this former Econ professor turned gold newsletter guru and mining stock millionaire. The letter is called Gold Stock Analyst, though a couple years ago they started to offer [...]

“Private Equity Firm Goes Public — Pays Out Lucrative 9% Dividend”

On a day when the Carlyle Group (CG) is making headlines for their IPO, which was generally received with a “meh” by Wall Street (priced slightly below the range, no pop on the IPO), why not take a look at a different private equity-type stock that’s apparently paying a much higher dividend? Or at least, [...]
