OK, so I’m starting to think that Fyodor Dostoyevsky has been reincarnated as a Motley Fool copywriter — the amount of text they throw into their teaser emails, many of them ten pages long or longer, is a bit ridiculous … I’d say they lead the industry in that category. But more to the point, [...]
I spent a few minutes yesterday looking at one of the teaser recommendations from Philip Durell’s Inside Value newsletter at the Motley Fool, and it’s time to move on to the second company that he teased. In the Fool’s words, “It’s another familiar name and a wonderfully run business, but with a twist. You see, [...]
This teaser came in recently for the Motley Fool Inside Value newsletter — the main company they’re teasing as the “next Berkshire Hathaway” hasn’t changed over the past couple years that I’ve been seeing this ad (it’s Markel, as I’ve written about before, and I do own shares of that one), but the secondary teaser [...]
These things tend to run in cycles — here we are with yet another Motley Fool teaser, after chatting up rule makers yesterday. Today, it’s the Motley Fool Income Investor newsletter that’s being teased, by editor James Early … and it’s still on sale, for $119, for what that’s worth (“normally” $199, though it was [...]
This one’s a little bit different, since the Motley Fool is selling not a subscription necessarily, but a special report called “The NEW Rule Makers: 5 Power Stocks You’ll Never Want to Sell.” Rule Makers is an old term from the Motley Fool lexicon, they’re the ideal evolution from the “Rule Breakers” that Dave Gardner [...]
I’m finding that sleuthing out stock picks is a healthy way to indulge in my stock market addiction on days like this, when I would otherwise be throwing money at what look to me like serious bargains, only to watch them fall a further 10 or 20% in the minutes following my purchase. So in [...]
When the Motley Fool Hidden Gems newsletter sends out a teaser email, I always pay attention — not only because I was a subscriber to that service a few years ago and generally liked the newsletter, but because it has recently ranked as the best newsletter in the country, according to Hulbert … and that’s [...]
This teaser email comes in from Bill Mann at Motley Fool Global Gains … and as with all such reports from the Fool, this one is a bit like reading Tolstoy, by the time you get to the end you can’t quite remember why you started. But even though his missives are long-winded, Mann has [...]
So if you’re reading this one first, you missed out on the explanation … if you want the full story (and another lovely Gumshoe read) start with my other writeup that feeds from this same email ad, for Bill Mann’s Global Gains service over at the Motley Fool. This is the second teased stock from [...]
This email ad came in from the Motley Fool’s Income Investor newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve sleuthed before. They’re running a subscription sale right now for $119, perhaps because their lead analyst, Matthew Emmert — who did manage some pretty impressive returns — appears to no longer be running the show. The new guy [...]
This is the second stock that was profiled in a teaser ad for Bill Mann’s Motley Fool Global Gains newsletter — the second of three that were profiled as Three Small Caps that will Dominate the International Market. The first, as you may remember, was an alternative energy play from South Africa named Sasol. Hidden [...]
The Motley Fool has an investment newsletter called Global Gains, by Bill Mann, that offers up international investment advice for $199 a year, and they recently have been advertising the service by teasing up three different small cap companies, what they call their “Hidden Advantage Stocks.” (And actually, I seem to remember them advertising this [...]
I’m a little surprised that of all the email lists I’m on I didn’t get this email … thankfully, a reader did and sent it in for me to review. This is an ad for Philip Durell’s Inside Value newsletter over at the Motley Fool, and the big tease is that you can subscribe to [...]
This one was recently forwarded by a reader, with a tip as to the company he thought it was (he was right, too). And this is actually a company I owned a few years ago around their IPO, so this is also a nice bitter reminder that I shouldn’t have sold it. The ad is [...]
The Gardners are at it again, peddling their Motley Fool Stock Advisor Newsletter with the promise of the bonus free report on the “New American Super Brand.” Now I actually like the Motley Fool, and have paid to subscribe to some of their products in the past. But they’ve definitely perfected the insanely long advertising [...]
