A few days ago I noted that if there were a reasonable Chinese cement company to invest in, that I’d consider doing so. Immediately, several readers tossed some ideas on the pile for me to consider … and though it was a throwaway comment, more or less, I thought I might better take a look. [...]
Time escapes the Gumshoe today, so we’re going to have a look at a quick email I got from Robert Hsu late last week. Hsu’s ads for his China Strategy service tell us that the key to his success is understanding Chinese consumers and what they want, and understanding how China is different. He believes [...]
For those who weren’t waiting on the Gumshoe’s every word back in March, this is a rerun that has been emailed like crazy nationwide in the last few weeks … at least, if the flood of emails I’m getting about this one is any indication. So, the company’s still the same, the teaser is still [...]
This one comes in from Jeff Siegel for Green Chip Stocks — kind of an odd selection for a green newsletter, but it is a “fair trade” coffee company, so I suppose that must be the connection. The special report that you’ll get for subscribing to Green Chip Stocks is called “Coffee Coup: How to [...]
So, will the Gumshoe be wrong again? I was very skeptical of J. Christoph Amberger’s plan to buy in to stocks before they IPO in China, as a way of riding the wave of the Chinese stock market’s incredible growth. And the one time I saw a specific teaser that advocated this, I didn’t see [...]
You might have seen this one circulating lately — it’s an ad for Ann Sosnowski’s MicroCap Hotsheet (Ann still sits at the top of the Gumshoe spreadsheet with her Lynas pick … though if you average in her other teaser companies we’d probably be looking at something much more average). It’s for a Chinese company [...]
This one comes in from Robert Hsu, for his very popular China Strategy service — I note that several folks in the forum have talked about liking this newsletter, so if you’re interested you might want to wander over there and chat with some self-reported subscribers about it. But boy, does he ever send out [...]
That’s the way this teaser begins: “Government Ordinance 458 Guarantees Your Profits on the New “General Electric” of China” This is an ad not for a subscription, but for a special report from Michael Lombardi (who writes the free newsletter Profit Confidential) — the special report costs $95. I don’t see these very often, probably [...]
This one came in a day or two ago from Louis Navellier, for his Emerging Growth newsletter service. One of my readers suggested a solution, and his solution seems to be a decent guess … but let me get to the details. Navellier thankfully spares us the story of Chinese overall growth — we do [...]
OK, so I’m departing from my typical sleuthing ways on this one a little bit. I spent a little time at an investing conference a few days ago, and many of the newsletter folks that you’ve all heard of were there, making their spiels or just lecturing. One of them that I happened to hear [...]
I think we’ve probably all heard the big arguments about investing in China, but this particular teaser brings two specific points to mind: first, that the savings rate is huge in China; and second, that the Chinese have essentially nowhere to invest except in property or in the domestic stock market. And we’ve all seen [...]
This teaser email comes in from Bill Mann at Motley Fool Global Gains … and as with all such reports from the Fool, this one is a bit like reading Tolstoy, by the time you get to the end you can’t quite remember why you started. But even though his missives are long-winded, Mann has [...]
I was just starting to look for this one, the latest teaser from Ann Sosnowski over at Taipan (it came in as today’s “Chart of the Day” teaser, but newshidden over at the forum beat me to it. It’s all about some kind of agricultural commodity trader/producer in China that benefits from inflating prices internationally [...]
This one was sent in by a reader, along with a suggestion for the solution (which, as so often with the Gumshoe’s readers, appears to be correct). It’s from Mark Skousen in the form of an ad for Forecasts and Strategies, and, as you have guessed from the title of this note, it’s about a [...]
A few of you have called my attention to a teaser that’s been making the rounds recently, from Steve Sjuggerud, for the Sjuggerud Confidential newsletter ($1,000). He’s saying that he has found a penny stock that is safe enough for him to recommend, and it’s a Macau property play. Unfortunately, the clues given are extraordinarily [...]
[I've left this one here for full disclosure so that you can see I made a mistake when I wrote up this post earlier today -- the company teased is not the one I reveal at the bottom. If it's any consolation, I think this is the first time I've posted one of these that [...]
This is another relatively quick post for you, since the email wasn’t exactly clue-laden. This comes in from J. Christof Amberger, of the Taipan newsletters, and it’s a tease for the secret backdoor into Chinese IPO’s.And more specifically, it’s a tease for a special report about one company that is poised to go public on [...]
This is another one from Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge, which focuses on finding the best investments in China and throughout Asia … and costs $2,995 a year, more than I feel like spending at the moment. So I’d like to find out what he considers to be the “almost perfect stock.” The email is generally [...]
“A young company, along with one of the world’s largest universities, has created a successful, non-invasive system for the treatment of nature’s deadliest disease.” That’s how Mark Skousen opens his ad for his newsletter, Forecasts and Strategies. If you wan to see what the company is, you’ll have to sign up for a subscription … [...]
I just received a forwarded email from Skousen Hedge Fund Trader that invites us to “PROFIT FROM THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY WITH THIS ASIAN GAMING STOCK.” I’ve never heard of Skousen, but he purports to use a hedge fund strategy that will provide good results in all markets — just like hedge funds used to be [...]
