“The Next [Rockefeller] Takeover Targets: Deepsea Oil”

Sometimes our teaserriffic temptations come in waves — lately I’ve been getting lots of questions about teasers from Elliott Gue over at Investing Daily, particularly in ads for his Energy Strategist newsletter, so we’re batting in the same park again today. This time, it’s an ad that sounds a little bit familiar … … it’s [...]

“Yielding 13.0% today and set to pay out even more tomorrow… What’s the Next Millionaire-Making Prudhoe Bay?”

People love high dividends. No matter what else is being teased and touted, it seems, the ones that get forwarded to me en masse are the emails touting the high-yielding MLPs, trusts, REITs or plain old dividend-focused stocks that pay out unusually high amounts of cash every month or every quarter … and it’s hard [...]

“Enormous ‘Oil Kitchen’ Discovered in Energy’s Last Great Frontier” (Byron King)

The great Gumshoe faithful have been focused on one thing over the last couple days: what the heck is Byron King talking about with his “oil kitchen?” That term might sound familiar to you — King first recommended a stock using that “oil kitchen” phrase, referring to a large oil source area offshore Namibia, back [...]

“Ride to Oil Riches with the Lucky Tombstone Kid: Stake Your Claim in the Three Bakkens”

The copywriters over at Investing Daily certainly spin a good tale — we’ve seen pitches about the discovery of South Pacific wonder-ports, secret buyouts by the Rockefellers, and plenty of tales of mouth-watering dividends that make even the most boring companies sound sexy … so I do always enjoy seeing a new tease for picks [...]

“Magic Drug” Oil Recovery Technique Brings “$31.5 Billion Bonanza?”

Today it’s time to come back to Chris Mayer, who’s teasing a small oil stock with a “magic drug” and that owns a massive $31.5 billion “oil bonanza” right here in the US of A. Sounds intriguing, right? Several of my readers thought so and passed it along, so let’s see if we can sleuthify [...]

Another “Contrarian Bonanza” — “world-beating stock that has recently been unfairly taken to the cleaners”

I said I’d keep digging into the picks from Martin Weiss and Tom Essaye as they teased ‘em for their Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio service, so let’s sniff around and see where the clues send us. The first unveiling of one of these picks, if you missed it, also included the basic background on the MDCP [...]

“MLP Yielding 10.2% Makes BIG, Bold, Bullish Move!”

Now that even Jim Cramer won’t shut up about Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) as a safer, high-yield, non-euro-exposed investment, perhaps we’ve “jumped the shark” on this investment? It’s always hard to tell — popular investments can always get more popular. But one thing’s for sure, Roger Conrad’s been talking up MLPs for quite a bit [...]

“What Would the World Pay for 10% More Oil?”

Keith Schaefer launched his Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin a couple years ago, and he has quickly ramped up to the kind of teaser prominence that I’m sure a hundred other startup newsletter dudes would love — whether it’s because of the mailing lists he has access to or the hypetastic nature of his teasers [...]

“Three Bakken Stocks Below $10 to Buy Right Now” (Part One)

“I have three more unknown stocks in the Bakken that I believe will give you bigger returns than Brigham or Northern Oil & Gas.” That’s the meaty bit of the latest pitch from Keith Kohl for his $20 Trillion Report — he tells us that he recommended a few Bakken stocks years ago, during the [...]

“The one U.S. energy stock I would buy if I were permitted only one pick right now.” (Elliott Gue)

The recent takeover offer for Brigham Exploration (BEXP) by Statoil (STO) has rekindled interest in oil companies who have large Bakken land holdings and growth potential — so, naturally, the teasers are out in force for just these kinds of companies. One such tease comes from Elliott Gue for his Energy Strategist newsletter — and [...]

Friday File look at the “NUCA Oil Jackpot” tease

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. The article was not revised, but author disclosure remains the same (I don’t own any of the stocks mentioned). We’re right at mid-month today, which would ordinarily be the time [...]

West African Wonder: Profit from the New Oil and Gas Powerhouse

Yesterday we took a look at Elliott Gue’s teaser for West African oil — a long pitch that started out with the discovery of a “daydreaming Irish accountant”, and today we’ll keep moving (you can see part one, which uncovered the tease of big Tullow Oil, right here). So today, as promised, we’re looking at [...]

“Daydreaming Irish Accountant’s Discovery … is a breakthrough investing opportunity”

This one comes in from Elliott Gue for his Energy Strategist newsletter — we haven’t looked at one of his ideas in a while (you can see reader reviews of his letter and more info in the right hand column), but he often picks interesting energy stocks … … and we share a fondness for [...]

“The Secret Bonus 10X Dividend No One Tells You About”

Sometimes we have a tendency to forget that the reason to own something is almost always to earn money on your investment — and that’s where dividends come in. Movements in stock prices and capital gains depend on the vagaries of the market, with stocks sometimes priced at 10 times earnings and sometimes at 30X [...]

What’s the “World’s Most Secretive Company” that’s “Dry Drilling” in Canada?

You can always count on a good story from a Phase 1 teaser — Phase 1 is the fancy top-of-the-line upgrade newsletter from Stansberry & Associates ($5,000/year, though it’s usually “on sale” for $3,000 when they’re promoting it as they are now), currently edited by Frank Curzio, and it has historically focused on lots of [...]
