We have a charming little tradition here at Stock Gumshoe of picking out the stinkiest stock to have been teased over the past year, and calling it our “Turkey of the Year” come Thanksgiving time. It’s not particularly fair — certainly not to turkeys everywhere, and probably not to the newsletter folks who use breathless, [...]
Trading advisory with goal of “getting in fast, extracting all the profit we can, and getting out safe.”
This teaser ad from the Money Map folks for Shah Gilani’s Spin Trader has gotten a lot of attention from my readers … … and as with most of the drool-inducing ads for investment newsletters, it promises massive returns and makes them sound even sexier by inventing a new term to refer to this mysterious [...]
This article originally was restricted to the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars when published in October, but was opened up to public readership on December 2, 2011.

I started yesterday to look at the latest teaser ad from Keith Fitz-Gerald and his Money Map Report – the basic theme of this ad is that the sovereign wealth funds have tons of cash, and Keith thinks he can predict where that money will go. He teased three companies in that ad — the [...]
This one comes in from the folks at the Oxford Club, as a tease for their Money Map Report newsletter. It’s a bit different in terms of the marketing offer, since technically they’re trying to sell you a special report about agribusiness, and then you get a “free” subscription to Money Map Report if you [...]
Several of you have undoubtedly seen this email come across your screens in the last week or two, it’s been in pretty heavy rotation as far as I can see.
