Newsletter formerly edited by Andrew Mickey and Christian DeHaemer — reconstituted as a new letter with new editor, American Wealth Underground, in 2010.
That “new boom is born” the subject line of the email ads/articles I’ve been receiving from Andrew Mickey for his Prudent Investing newsletter from Q1 Publishing — which I think is still just him at this point. My understanding is that Mickey started Q1 after getting fired from Taipan a couple years ago, long-time Gumshoe [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Or at least, Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans among you — I know I missed the Canadian Thanksgiving by a month or so, and I hope everyone else around the world has had a chance to give thanks for whatever it is that makes your life meaningful. Personally, part of what makes [...]
This teaser email has been rolling around for quite some time, I think — it at least triggered some memory bells, but I’ve never written about it and it’s still being actively promoted, so I thought it might be worth a gander. And of course, it’s an oil services company … so there’s no mystery [...]
Andrew Mickey runs Breakaway Investor and has a new service he’s selling now called Fear and Greed, and he must keep some solid copywriters on the speed dial because we’ve had any number of his teasers get our blood rushing over the past year. This one’s for a “secret market”, which is a technique he [...]
Well, time to finish up writing about that looooong teaser ad from Andrew Mickey’s Breakaway Investor that I started over the weekend. Yesterday we spent some time looking at his LNG play, which has very tenuous connections to Russia, but apparently these next few are all about our friends in the former Soviet empire. This [...]
OK, I don’t think I’ve ever had to resort to three or four different articles to cover a single teaser ad (at least, not since Stansberry’s “Secret Societies” teaser last Fall), so I hope this third writeup will be the charm for us all, and we’ll not speak again of Andrew Mickey’s Putin-icious masterpiece. The [...]
This teaser came in a couple weeks ago, and a few readers have sent in suggestions about the possible solutions, so I thought a lovely Spring weekend here in Washington, D.C. would be the perfect time to take a gander at Andrew Mickey’s teaser … and lordy me, it’s a long one. At least three [...]
AlbaniaAlbaniaYou border on the AdriaticYour land is mostly mountainousAnd your chief export is chrome OK, so for those who are not old Cheers fans, I just had to include that little snippet for you … one of my favorites. Feeling very old now. But how often does one have the opportunity to write about Albania? [...]
This one comes in from Andrew Mickey’s Breakaway Investor — we’ve seen a few of his ideas in the past, with mixed results. Not surprising, since a lot of the companies he likes are very small and make for some volatile investing at times. And it’s a good story, whether or not you end up [...]
Hi folks — got an interesting one today that came in connected to the “Taipan chart of the day” — the chart itself was actually for Millicom, the fast-growing Latin American cell phone company, and they also talked about Vimpelcom, the phenomenally successful Russian cell phone company. But the meat of the ad was focused [...]
This one has already been solved several times over at the forum, but I thought I’d write it up here for those of you who don’t like to keep up with all those discussions. The latest teaser for this company comes in from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor — though it appears that various other [...]
[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 one came in from a reader, and unfortunately it took me a week or so to get to it … it has climbed 20% already, though if the teaser copy is accurate who knows where it will go. This is from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, who we’ve heard from before a few times. [...]
This ad comes to us from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, who we’ve heard from a few times before. The solution was suggested by a few readers, the first of whom was Randy Last-name-withheld-to protect-the-innocent, and one of them, one of the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars who wishes to remain anonymous (we’ll call him Streetsifter … [...]
This one has come in from a few different readers recently, and most of the emails I’ve seen have had the subject “Classified Uranium Secret Could Launch $5 Stock to $57″ This is for a uranium enrichment company, and it comes from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, yet another Taipan publication. Here’s the sell: This [...]
This one was sent in by dozens of readers, one of whom actually provided the name of the company for followup research — I checked it out, and I think the answer he provided is correct. He wants to remain anonymous, otherwise I’d happily give him credit (as I’ll credit anyone else who correctly sleuths [...]
