What’s the “$1.10 A Day Retirement Plan?”
I know that many of you have seen the teasers for the “$1.10 a Day Retirement Plan” that are being sent around the interwebs by the folks at the 12% Letter — not many folks have the email marketing might of Stansberry & Associates, that letter’s publisher, and lots of you have been asking about [...]
Explained: “A.O.P. — The Little-Known Investment That’s Outperforming, Everything!”
I guess we should really be calling this “A.O.P. 2.0″, since the Stansberry folks used this same basic marketing pitch on investors about five years ago — though I think that was in service of their S&A Resource Report (then called the S&A Oil Report), and this one is an ad for the relatively conservative, [...]
Predicting Friday’s Pick by a Newsletter of “one of the truly great businesses”
It’s probably no surprise that the Stansberry & Associates newsletters probably get more attention from Stock Gumshoe than most of the others — they’re right up there with the Motley Fool when it comes to the size of their mailing lists and the response from our readers to their promos, so everything they do and [...]
Will “U.S. 801(k) Plans” make 401(k)s and IRAs Obsolete?
The 801(k) teaser letter for Stansberry and Associates’ 12% Letter was among the most hugely successful email campaigns out there — at least, if the interest of my readers is any indication. That ad generated more questions than any other for a period of about a year … … but that was back in 2007 [...]
Teased “Safe, Cheap Opportunity” from Extreme Value
I don’t often cover the same editor or pundit twice in a row, but it’s not exactly a hard rule … which is a relief, because the most interesting thing I came across this morning was another teaser from Dan Ferris. Now, it’s not the same hard sell as his 12% Letter pitch that we [...]
“George Bush’s Secret Retirement Legacy”
We haven’t covered the 12% Letter in these pages for a few months, if memory serves, so I was pleased to get several questions from readers about their latest teaser for the “secret retirement legacy” that’s apparently been offered up by George Bush (the dumber one, not the older one). Did I just type that [...]
“Early Wal-tirement: How to get in from the Very Beginning. “
Time with family and bloated turkey-filled bellies did nothing to slow down the avalanche of newsletter teaser ads — heck, we even saw plenty of “black Friday” deals for all those folks who are hoping to stuff a newsletter subscription into little Timmy’s Christmas stocking (yay!) But perhaps the most popular one that’s been sent [...]
“The Secret of the ‘Fed Trade’” (Black Market Income)
OK, you can stop asking now — because we’re just about to finish up with our latest multi-part series, covering the “loopholes” from the “Black Market Income” teaser for Stansberry’s 12% Letter. This letter pitches the idea that they have a secret website that “Wall Street” doesn’t want you to see — all about how [...]
“Toronto’s 13% Income Secret” (Black Market Income)
Well, I told you yesterday that I’d be following up on the teaser from 12% Letter for their “Black Market Income” website that presents a variety of ways of increasing your investment income … so let’s do it! If you missed yesterday, I gave a quick run-through of several of the “loopholes” that Dan Ferris [...]
“Black Market Income” from the 12% Letter?
A couple variations on this teaser about “black market income” have been rolling around the marketplace for months now — the actual investments are still relatively normal, mainstream-ish companies and strategies, just as they were when the 12% Letter called parts of this “black market income” strategy by other names, which is why I haven’t [...]
“Extreme Value” World Dominating Business for October
Today’s tease didn’t come to me directly and I haven’t seen the original ad or letter where it appeared, but this excerpt was forwarded by a large number of folks who appear to have some interest in a good ‘ol blue chip-type investment. The tease must have been in some kind of subscribers-only letter for [...]
“How I Found a $17,500 Secret In A Maryland Public Library”
I always like to see what Dan Ferris is recommending for subscribers of his Extreme Value newsletter, in part because I’m personally invested in a few of his picks that have done well (Altius Minerals and Sprott Resource), and in part because I’m generally sympathetic to the notion that long-term “value” investing is the best [...]
“Second-Largest Farm in the Country, Soon to Become the Largest ….”
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 [...]
Extreme Stocks to Buy Now (Ferris)
I always like reading Dan Ferris’ stuff — he does the cranky loner act so well I can only assume that it’s real, and the latest ad for his Extreme Value newsletter is no different. This newsletter is slotted in as the “deep value” letter at Stansberry & Associates, and he has often recommended either [...]
“Bursting with Gold: Newfoundland’s Golden Mountain” (Dan Ferris)
This new teaser from Dan Ferris for his Extreme Value newsletter wins the prize for “most questions sent to the Gumshoe” over the weekend … so I thought I better jump right on it this morning. If you get any of the Agora or Stansberry free emails, or subscribe to any newsletters in those families, [...]
“Gold-Backed Annuity” companies … income for life?
This ad has been floating to the top of my inbox for a couple days now, and since the people have spoken I thought I better write about it right quick for you — I am, after all, your humble sleuthing servant. Well, OK, maybe not so humble all the time, but do you want [...]
“Distortion in the Gold Markets” Prospect Generators
This ad comes in for the Extreme Value newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, edited by Dan Ferris. The name of the newsletter is no accident, Ferris apparently looks for deep value and hidden value stocks, not unlike some other traditional “value” stock pickers. This time, he’s telling us that there’s a “distortion” in the gold [...]
