It seems a little petty now, with these miraculous little iPad doohickeys, to complain that they’re too heavy, or too thick — seriously? They’re thousands of times more powerful than the Mac that got me through college just fine. Though I will be attending my 20th reunion this summer, and I couldn’t watch TV or [...]
Everyone loves a bit of “what you should do next year” advice at this time of the year — the magazines are full of it, the newspapers issue predictions, and all the newsletter folks swirl their tea leaves around and proclaim that it’s going to be “The Year of X!” No, not X as in [...]
What is this “Christmas Internet Outage” that Louis Navellier is teasing us about? Well, the short answer is that so many folks will get online goodies from Santa that they’ll swamp the Internet. Which is sort of possible, I guess — like most holidays, Christmas web traffic as a general rule is down substantially from [...]
Louis Navellier is certainly not shy — he’s sent out several ads telling folks that the recent market turmoil is your opportunity to buy his favorite stocks (he’s a “growth” guy, so his faves are stocks with big revenue growth, earnings growth, momentum and upside surprises). I thought that might be a nice antidote — [...]
Here’s how Louis Navellier pitches his next uber-hot idea for a stock that gives you three phone numbers on one phone and 10-bagger profits: “Last May I told you about a new wireless juggernaut whose 3-in-one proprietary technology and earnings growth matched Envirodyne, which handed us a monster 1,700% gain a few years back. “Since [...]
Today we come back once again to our old friend Louis Navellier — largely because he’s pitching something that my readers ask me about all the time, a way to get a decent income yield from a mining stock (most of which, despite all the teasers about gold stocks that pay dividends, have tiny yields [...]
Earlier in the week we took a look at a “short” case for a tech stock, so today I thought I’d spend a few minutes tracking down some of Louis Navellier’s favorite picks to buy on what he predicts will be blockbuster earnings in the days ahead. Navellier has a bunch of both fans and [...]
Here we are again — another promise of a “doubler” from Louis Navellier, who apparently has never seen an earnings beater he didn’t want to buy. This time, though, his copywriters have a bit of an odd pitch on this one — they’re using Al Gore, who among the investing punditry class is often cast [...]
Louis Navellier sent out an email ad on Sunday telling us that we would see the stock he’s naming in his current Emerging Growth newsletter double “in the blink of an eye.” And you know, despite the fact that I know better (he makes essentially the same promise, throwing on that this will double “with [...]
Friday File: “18 Days to Lock up Another 127% Gain”This is paid content, to view it, log in or register as an irregular.
I skipped over this ad when it first started circulating a week or two ago, but I’ve had a lot of folks writing in to ask about it lately so I thought I’d give it a quick look today — he’s calling this new pick his “Sleeper” for 2010, so a week or so shouldn’t [...]
After not looking at a Louis Navellier ad for quite a while, here I run across several fun ones in just a couple weeks — we saw his promise of remarkable momentum and a double from his favorite handgun stock, Smith & Wesson, about a month ago (hasn’t happened … yet, to be charitable). And [...]
Our old friend and teaser adversary Louis Navellier hasn’t been spinning so many teasers lately — I like to think he’s terrified of the Stock Gumshoe, and of the way that my brilliant, amusing, and awe-inspiring commentaries tear his teasers to shreds and lay waste to his marketing efforts. Sure, it’s a fantasy, but we [...]
Well, Louis Navellier is nothing if not consistent — his ads always promise that a stock with recent huge earnings surprises is going to repeat, grow, and continue to delight investors. That’s the joy of being a trend follower — when you get it right. Of course, when you get it wrong with these fast-growth [...]
Here’s the latest from Louis Navellier: “This ‘Obama Stock’ went from $8 to $60 in the last infrastructure build-out. Now it’s ready to do it again! Buy on Friday! I have found the Perfect Obama Stock–and I am releasing its name–and a doubler trade for it–at 5:30 p.m. EST, Friday, February 6.” So what’s the stock that he’s teasing us about?
Louis Navellier is again astride two horses that have driven his marketing for much of this year: Alternative energy, and the election. He’s telling us that he has a pick for his Emerging Growth newsletter that will benefit greatly from the presumed Obama presidency, largely because of the dramatic funding that should come through for [...]
In the few days preceding the last presidential debate between McCain and Obama (which was soooo boring … I was really hoping for more winking, personally), Louis Navellier continued his presidential-themed teaser ad campaigns. Last time around, he was promising that he had written the perfect campaign speech, and that whoever uttered it would be [...]
So … another stock that’s going to be the “next Google!” Man, how can we go wrong with that? Let me count the ways … just in the last six months or so, Navellier’s next Google was IncrediMail, and Tobin Smith’s was Synchronoss … not so good for either one just yet. And many other [...]
Another one that’s partially from the archives: Navellier has been sending out a teaser mentioning seven “Million Dollar Machines” that he thinks are great investments right now. This whole “Million Dollar Machine” concept was one he trotted out over the Summer, too and apparently it was pretty successful (why else would we be seeing it [...]
I think we’ve all probably seen Louis Navellier out there in front of every camera or microphone available recently, thanks to the fact that he’s got a new book out, the Little Book that Makes You Rich, from the same Little Book series that brought us my favorite short investing tome, The Little Book that [...]
