This article was originally published on January 25, 2017. It has not been updated or revised since then, but we are seeing the same ad from Dr. Moors circulating heavily again (still with a January 2017 date), so re-post it here for your information. The stock teased has been quite volatile but currently is up […]

This teaser solution was originally posted on October 5, 2016 — the ad has circulated very heavily at various times in the past 18 months, routinely driving a lot of questions our way, so I took another look in May of 2017 when the ad was last updated. The ad still carries the May, 2017 […]
This article first ran on October 8, 2014. The ad is running heavily again as of early March, and remains more or less unchanged… the article below is unchanged as well. The stock teased has returned about 14% since the article first ran, roughly twice the gain of the S&P 500. Our headline today is […]
Kevin Massengill has recently been pushing his Defense Technology Alert by dropping some hints about his two favorite investments… including what he says is “My Top Defense Play of All Time.” So what’s the story? Well, you could subscribe to find out, I suppose, if you feel like ponying up $2,000 a year and trust […]
Stephen McBride has been using this ad to market RiskHedge’s Disruption Investor (currently “on sale” for $99/yr) since last Fall, but readers have continued to ask about it and I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet — so when I started seeing it again this week, it seemed like time to dig […]
“These 4 “Penny Defense Stocks” Are Primed to Soar on… The Pentagon’s Trillion-Dollar Spending Jackpot” That’s the promise made by the new ads for E.B. Tucker’s Casey Report, which is pitching the stocks that they think will become the “new ‘Military Industrial Complex’” as they grow from small-cap size to compete with the megacaps like […]
Since Star Wars day just passed (May the Fourth Be With You!), I guess it’s time for a “Death Star” story — this one comes from an ad for The Wealth Warrior ($99/yr), which is Jason Simpkins’ security and defense-focused intro-level newsletter from the Outsider Club. And the headline, of course, sounds terrifying: “Beijing’s Death […]
Hello, one and all … I took a little longer to recuperate from my fundraising bike ride than anticipated, but I’m back, hale and hearty and ready to steer the Thinkolator toward some mysterious teaser stocks. The one that pops to the top of the list for us today is pitched by Michael Robinson in […]
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. The letter builds on the fact that Robinson is apparently a “special investigative correspondent” and former mainstream […]
Michael Robinson is teasing us with a stock that he thinks will benefit from defense technology spending … and that is at a bargain price. And it sounds a little bit familiar, actually, like it might be a stock he mentioned a few years ago when he was flogging a different newsletter … … but […]
The relatively new “Black Sky Days” spiel from David Fessler for the Oxford Club’s Oxford Resource Explorer is getting a fair amount of attention,and it’s a very long and involved pitch that is mostly about the fact that our electric grid is old, rickety and not well-protected… and that sells us on some ways to […]
Those of you who’ve been around the block with the Gumshoe a few times know that I’m always a little bit skeptical of most of the newsletter promotions I read, but I tend to give a wee bit of extra scrutiny to the stuff from Untapped Wealth — partly because they are responsible for the […]
“Yesterday, I sent you an urgent briefing regarding China’s dangerous “Internet Army.” This situation is already moving fast. “The small tech company critical to crushing China’s attacks just won another contract for an undisclosed “data center”… its third multimillion-dollar contract in less than a month. “This is quickly turning into exactly the kind of win-win […]
The latest ad from Agora Financial’s Defense Technology Alert created a deluge of “what are those super contact lenses?” questions here at Stock Gumshoe, so as we dig out of the weekend teaser pile this one clearly rises to the “gotta answer it first” spot. What’s the story? Well, the ad is for Defense Technology […]
Here’s what caught our readers’ attention in a pitch from Bill Patalon’s Private Briefing: “Early investors could reap as much as $115,900 beginning April 21 “In the barren, hostile plains of the New Mexico desert, not far from the Mexican border, they’re building a city like no other. “A city with high rises, avenues, parks, […]
The odds will tell you that the stock we’re going to unveil today is probably a terrible stock to buy at the current price, since it’s a penny stock that has already been driven up by Patrick Cox’s subscribers and is getting a lot of attention for recent news … but we’re going to reveal […]
Who can resist an entreaty like that? Several intrepid Gumshoe readers sent along pleas for a solution to this one today … and we are, as always, happy to oblige. I know you have a choice when it comes to blathering internet chatterboxes, and I want to thank you for choosing this one today. The […]
I hope the folks at the Federal Trade Commission aren’t reading today, because I have to make a confession: I start to feel all squishy inside when I think of monopolies. After all, what could be better as an investor? A company that is the only supplier of its product, with plenty of demand and […]
Patrick Cox has mysteriously disappeared from Agora Financial’s publications, he’s no longer at the helm of the always-interesting Breakthrough Technology Alert … but that doesn’t mean this newsletter has disappeared. In fact, they’re sending out the latest florid pitch for their hot idea and not even discounting the price — under Cox most of the […]
This is a teaser that many of you have already figured it out, but I’m still seeing it in heavy rotation so I thought I’d share … it’s from an ad for Karim Rahemtulla’s Xcelerated Profits Report, I don’t think we’ve looked at his stuff since their fabulous ad for “Dark Equities” a few months […]
This article was originally published on June 6, but the ad is running heavily again now as a “recession-proof stocks” pitch so we’re re-posting to answer reader questions. Neither the ad nor this article have been updated since early June. Whitney Tilson has rejoined the nuclear power parade, launching a new teaser pitch recently for […]
I’m starting with a quick teaser solution for you, since we’ve got more people asking about this latest James Altucher ad today than anything else. I’m not going to go through all the detail for you, due to a lack of time, but it seems like folks are feeling itchy about this one so we’ll […]
Pitchmen love to find the hottest product, and then say they’ve used their uncanny skill and their unparalleled industry connections to find the secret little company who will benefit from that hot product. They’ve been doing it for years with Apple, fueled by the cottage industry of “whisperers” inside Chinese manufacturing plants who start the […]
Anyone have insight into this presentation? It keeps popping up in my email. Thanks.

Here’s the lead-in to the Dr. David Eifrig pitch some readers are asking about this week… “If I had to Pour Every Single Penny of My Retirement into ONE STOCK… This Would Be It” “And today, while it’s still at a good price, I’d like to share it with you, too.” The ad is for […]
Eric Fry is teasing us about the coming “A.I. Wars,” and the necessity of building more and more advanced AI-ready chips in the United States and reducing our reliance on Taiwan and South Korea, and the heart of his pitch is that some companies will see huge profit opportunities as semiconductor capital spending grows to […]
I received a publication from a Technology report stating the wonders of this new product that seemed almost impossible to believe. A promised identity of the small company that holds all the patents thus a future trillion dollar Takeover product. The Grapheme battery was offered as more powerful, greater storage savior of the EV problem. […]
How many conspiracy theorist keywords can you put into a title? It’s like my tinfoil-hat friend just became a capitalist 🙂 The title is so click-baity that I hated myself for clicking on it but I just had to find out if the next report is “How to make money from Bill Gates being the […]
Behind The Markets – World’s First “UFO Weapon” – And The Tiny Defense Company That Will Change War Forever. Looking for this stock anyone, any ideas?
Time for another big-bluster teaser pitch from Nomi Prins, who’s selling her Rogue Strategic Trader ($1,500 for two years, no refunds) with a pitch for a “26 cent AI stock.” She didn’t make a transcript of her “AI Ultimatum” teaser pitch available just yet, so we’re left with clues gathered from the (interminable) presentation, as […]
Porter Stansberry knows at least one thing with absolute certainty: Using high-profile politicians in your teaser ads gets attention, and attention is the goal of every marketer. This time it’s Barack Obama in the headlines, with subject lines like “Obama Leaked Classified Documents” and “Obama was a Royal Screw-Up”, and that’s likely to either make […]
I didn’t quite finish looking into the Charles Mizrahi pitch for his 8-Figure Fortunes newsletter ($1,495/yr) yesterday, so I thought we’d get into that for a moment as a little bonus (don’t worry, the Friday File is coming later today, too)… … in addition to his “number one small cap oil stock” that was the […]
Does anyone know the name/Ticker symbol of this “supposed” small company that is “supposed to get (or has) a military contract for a hypersonic weapon to be supplied to all branches of the US military?
An earlier version of this article was published on June 7, 2022. The undated ad from Simpkins is circulating again now, with some small changes, so we have updated the story to incorporate the company’s recent results and performance below. Today’s pitch for our consideration claims to be focused on “black box” spending, and the […]
This article was originally published on August 4, 2022, but Ray Blanco has lately been pitching it as an urgent “last chance” idea because of their March 20, 2023 announcement, so we’re re-sharing this older article so folks can at least know what company he’s talking about (the preclinical results they announced at a conference […]
A new ad for Dave Lashmet’s pricey Stansberry Venture Technology caught my eye this week, they’re doing a quick push for subscribers for that high-end newsletter (“list price” is $5,500, though they usually only promote it when it’s “on sale” — they’re selling two years for $2,500 currently, no refunds). In the past, Lashmet’s pitches […]
Joel Litman’s Altimetry is selling subscriptions to his Hidden Alpha ($49 first year, renews at $199) newsletter right now, with a very similar vibe to a lot of Porter Stansberry’s recent work… the overarching message is, “The US will become a massive LNG export power, and that will lead to Joe Biden getting re-elected and […]
This pitch has been circulating for about six months, but has been updated with a new headline and “deadline” — instead of the big news coming on July 27 or October 27, which was the pitch earlier in the year, the date is now February 2, 2023. The company did report strong earnings in July […]
Yet another interesting week! Oh, how we miss the boring days, when everything just went up all the time. And it’s still, of course, all about inflation and the Federal Reserve. I would have guessed, like many people, that the CPI number would come in a bit worse than expected this month, given the persistence […]
