“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 [...]
Can you really buy gold at a $600/ounce discount?
Eric Roseman of the Sovereign Society has been blanketing the web with a teaser about a “different way to own gold” — one that he says might give you a discount of as much as $600 an ounce. Here’s what he says … “Recently, I’ve been researching different ways to own gold – and two months ago — I came across a little-known form of the yellow metal. The shocking thing is, it has outperformed “normal” gold investments by a factor of 10… or more!”
“This $4 Gold Stock … Will at Least Triple” John Doody
The folks at Stansberry & Associates have apparently made a deal with John Doody, who has for many years written a well-respected stock advisory service on gold miners. He thinks that gold miners should have a great year in 2009 … but the tease, of course, is that there’s a $4 gold stock that is at the top of his list right now. So what is it?
“Tiny co. strikes gold in abandoned mine” Chuck de Castro
Is it even possible to slip back in time a year or two, to our delightful bull market past, and remember how differently we looked at things? At this time of year in 2007 we would have been sifting through teasers about how the latest LCD maker or electronics store was going to benefit from [...]
Gold, Golder, Goldest?
Here’s what I can’t tell you: Where the price of gold is going. Here’s what I can tell you: Over the past several weeks, as investor enthusiasm for gold clearly reached the melting point in a big price spike to near $900, I’ve seen almost every gold teaser in the book. Gold is down a bit again today, but the gold bugs are still out in force and certain that they will be vindicated when inflation and dollar devaluation finally rear their ugly heads. What do the experts say now?
“The Next Franco-Nevada: Chaffee Revisited”
If anyone was in danger of forgetting the “Chaffee Royalties” teaser ad for Chris Mayer’s Special Situations newsletter, the marketers have saved you from that precarious perch — I’ve seen this ad more in the past week than in the last several months combined, so it must be taking hold once more. Why? Well, the [...]
“Make $2 Every Time Gold Goes up a Buck ” McCoach
We haven’t heard much from Greg McCoach in the last few months — not a big surprise, perhaps, since the middle of this year saw the decline of pretty much every single mining stock and hard commodity, and those are the things he covers in his Mining Speculator newsletter. But now, he’s got a little [...]
“The Greatest Economic Conspiracy in History”
“After 98 years of secrecy, the greatest economic conspiracy in history is finally unfolding.” “Learn how you could turn $5,000 into $100,000 (or more) by 2009 with this safe and simple profit/protection plan…” That’s how this latest ad opens, with the threat that the 98-year-old “Jeckyl Island Project” economic conspiracy will ruin your retirement — [...]
“Treasury’s Gold Glitch: Make Money AFTER Gold Rises” Sjuggerud
Those of you who have long toiled in the dusty, grimy classrooms of Gumshoe University will probably recognize this one — it’s an ad that has been around for years, with adjustments and variations depending on the market’s pulse and on the price of gold. The essential promise is that Steve Sjuggerud has found a [...]
“Government Guaranteed Zero-Downside Gold?!” Outstanding Investments
This one has been around for quite some time, but I thought many of my newer Gumshoe friends might have missed it. It’s a teaser for Agora’s Outstanding Investments newsletter — which is their cheapest one at $49 a year. But hey, even at $49 a year, why pay if you don’t want the newsletter? [...]
Skousen: “The Goose That’s Set to Lay Golden Profit Eggs on March 25!”
“Last week everything was going down the drain, and now everything’s perfect” — that’s a comment I heard on CNBC this morning, facetious though it was, that goes a long way toward mirroring the movement in gold prices. Last week armageddon was coming and everyone wanted to own gold, today maybe the world financial system [...]
Sjuggerud: “The Secret Currency”
I’ve had dozens of readers send this one along, most with a long line of question marks. The teaser has been around for a while (a couple years, as far as I can tell), but it continues to spark interest — especially with the dollar at ridiculous lows, inflation fears bubbling, and gold near $1,000 [...]
“Nevada’s Filthy Rich Royalties”
Kind of seems like the folks at Stansberry are testing to see whether the term “Filthy Rich” works well in their email campaigns, this is the second one I’ve seen of late (the other was for “My British Uncle Albert’s Filthy Rich Retirement Secret…”). But that’s neither here nor there. We apparently have an opportunity [...]
“L-2 Indicator: Best for Gold Stocks”
This teaser comes in from the folks at Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor service, which is their uber-expensive $5,000 subscription newsletter that purports to find the best opportunities in the smallest stocks. They have developed what they call the L-2 Indicator that tells them when to buy stocks, in this case gold stocks: “the ‘L-2 Indicator’ [...]
Weekend Reading from the Gumshoe
Hello out there, happy investors of Gumshoe Land! For your pleasure this weekend I thought I’d revisit a couple old teasers that have been making the rounds again, since the emails about them have been piling up and, in some cases, the companies may have gotten more or less interesting. The first one is the [...]
Robert Hsu’s “Bullion Bull — Goose Island Gold”
This one came in late last week in a flash email from Robert Hsu for his Asia Edge service — actually the ad was really for the commodities play that he tried to sell us a week or two back, which is written up here, but he added a little box teasing us about his [...]
Holiday Weekend Reading and Some Reader Sleuthing
Greetings, fearless readers. No big new sleuthing project today, but I will share a couple solutions from readers that I haven’t been able to write up in full: 1) There’s a teaser going around from Matt Badiali that’s called “Fraser’s Legacy,” for S&A’s Gold Report, which discusses four ‘Prospect Generators.’ The report is called, “How [...]
“Government Guaranteed Gold — No Risk!”
This is a little bit atypical for me, but a reader sent it in and it seemed interesting so I thought I’d share it with you. This is not a stock, and is even so boring that it’s FDIC-insured … but a newsletter editor saw fit to tease us with it and use it to [...]
