Breakaway Investor (defunct)

Newsletter formerly edited by Andrew Mickey and Christian DeHaemer — reconstituted as a new letter with new editor, American Wealth Underground, in 2010.

Safe Haven Investor

Makes stock recommendations based in part on insider trading patterns.

Hedge Fund Strategist

Weekly alert that says it looks for “cutting-edge opportunities… rare, exotic and mysterious opportunities that make hedge funds – and their clients – very rich.”

“Rare Substance Hidden in the Forest of Southern Sweden”

Well, a week’s hiatus for your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe and the world remains in more or less the same mostly-negative feedback loop — more bank worries, more Euro panic, gold prices back above $1,900 again, more iPhone 5 hints and speculation … I guess part of me is relieved that the financial world is [...]

GRESSOR

“Special Situations” newsletter founded by Christian DeHaemer, appears to now be defunct.

“How a Secret Global Wire Transfer Could Show You a Potential Tenfold Gain!”

I’ve written about a number of teasers from Michael Robinson during the couple years he’s been heading up the American Wealth Underground newsletter for Taipan (if that name doesn’t ring a bell, you might remember that this letter used to be the hypetastic BreakAway Investor under Andrew Mickey and others).

“The $50 Billion Shadow Syndicate”

Today I’m taking a look at a very florid teaser letter from Michael Robinson, who is apparently now helming Taipan’s Breakaway Investor newsletter, a service that has supplied us with a lot of entertaining ammunition over the years.

In fact, at the current rate, over the next five years, you could be in line to shell out as much as 65% of your total retirement portfolio!” So what is Taipan talking about with this one?

“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 — [...]

“Own the Sleeping Giant of India” Material Profit

This one’s from Christian DeHaemer for Material Profit, one of the “introductory” inexpensive newsletters from Taipan (on sale for $49 at the moment, apparently). This group is no stranger to your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe, but I don’t think I’ve looked at one from Material Profit before (I’ve looked at many from DeHaemer’s other services, most [...]
