This teaser solution originally appeared as part of a Friday File for the Irregulars on December 15. The ads are still running, this time under headlines like “Time to Bet the Farm”, so we’re taking another look, including my updated thoughts following the last quarterly report (I own this one), but most of the teaser […]

“This is the only company in the online higher education industry that’s creating a win-win for everyone. Which means it’s the only one with long-term staying power. The sad truth is, most online colleges exist for one simple purpose. To suck away federal loan dollars from Uncle Sam. These “diploma mills” don’t even care whether […]
[Ed. Note: Dr. KSS writes about medicine and biotech stocks for the Irregulars. His words and opinions are his own. Enjoy!] In the Saturday morning Looney Tunes many of us saw as children, one trope always stuck with me: that of the grand piano falling from way up high and crashing, splintering itself. There’s a […]
[ed note: Michael Jorrin is longtime medical writer who has been sharing his thoughts with our readers as “Doc Gumshoe” for several years (he’s not a doctor, I gave him the name). He generally covers medical and health news and sometimes health promotions and hype, but he rarely opines about investments or specific stocks. All of his past […]
Lots to talk about today… we’ll start with a quick teaser solution, then move on to some big picture thoughts, updates on the changes in my portfolio (a couple small buys), and some other little updates and cogitations. The teaser comes from Mike Cintolo’s Cabot Growth Investor, which is just what it sounds like: a […]
I’ve written a couple times about Kim Iskyan’s teaser ads over the past year, but this is the first time I’ve seen ads for his higher-end International Capitalist (the last offer was a $3,000 “lifetime” subscription). Iskyan has sold a few investment newsletters over the past decade, first with Stansberry, then later on his own […]
We see “Amazon can’t beat this one” ads every now and again for retailers — that was part of Oxford Club’s push for Planet Fitness earlier this week, for example — but this one is generating quite a few questions… and I haven’t written about one of Hilary Kramer’s ads for a while, so it […]
This is a quickie, dear friends, because, well, it’s a teaser pitch we’ve covered before. But I thought it worthwhile to take another quick look — and not just because I actually own the stock (though I’m sure I do pay more attention to stocks I own than to others). See, this one’s an opportunity […]
This article originally ran on January 29, but must be circulating again in March because we’re getting questions from readers — so we re-share it with you today. In case you’re wondering, this “value” stock is now about 25% lower than it was when this article first hit our pages (and the ad first hit […]
This ad sounds very similar to some that we’ve looked at in the past, but readers always want to hear about these “top stock for the year” pitches so I thought I’d give it a look… after all, who doesn’t want an “almost easy double?” Mike Cintolo is using this spiel to sell his Cabot […]
No, this one’s not about you and your Uncle Bill. And it’s not about the little Gumshoes and their struggle with Algebra. It’s a headline from Frank Curzio, who earlier in the week sent out a hint-y email to at least a few folks that said, “How to capitalize on America’s most ‘stupid’ family.” It’s […]
Today’s tease comes in for the Money Map Report, in some articles where they hint around about the best way to double your money on the stock they think can be the “Next Whole Foods.” The pick is by Keith Fitz-Gerald, but We get a bit of an introduction from Steve Christ in a free […]
Today’s teaser happens to also concern a stock that I’ve been curious about, so I’m taking the opportunity to follow the hints down the rabbit hole and do a little chewing on whatever it is I find down there. The teaser ad comes in from Motley Fool Canada in an ad for their Stock Advisor […]
Today we point the compass toward Santa Claus and head up a few miles to cross the border into Canada, where we find the latest teaser pitch coming in from Motley Fool Canada for their Stock Advisor Canada newsletter… the ad comes from Iain Butler, the Chief Investment Adviser for the Canadian version of the […]
As we close in on the end of the first quarter, it’s time to release some more data — I just posted the 2019 teaser tracking spreadsheet for you, you can find it on the tracking page along with all our previous years and use it both to see what we’ve been covering so far […]
This tease comes in an ad for the Motley Fool’s Global Gains newsletter, which has brought some interesting ideas to our attention during its relatively short life so far (though I imagine it probably had a terrible year last year — this is one of the few Motley Fool newsletters that Hulbert doesn’t track, and […]
I may have to add a little dose of guessing to the Thinkolator results on this one, but we’ve had a few folks asking “who beat Amazon?” of late, thanks to this latest Motley Fool ad, so I’m going to give it a try. The ad is for the Motley Fool’s flagship Stock Advisor service, […]
We’ve had a number of questions about this pitch for “The Next Chipotle” from Briton Ryle, so we’re re-posting this solution from December — the stock they’re teasing, ZOES, is still the same, though it reported a great first quarter in early June and the shares popped up on the news (and came back down […]
This is going to be a quickie for our friends across the pond — according to the info we receive from the Google overlords, the UK edges out Australia for being the land where Stock Gumshoe is most popular outside of the US and Canada, so we do like to look at the occasional pitch […]
OK, so the folks at Cabot make it quite a habit to say “double your money in 2011 guaranteed” — that’s the promise they make when promoting each of their picks from the Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter, which is sold as a monthly “best of” selection from the stable of Cabot newsletters. Cabot’s […]
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 […]
We’ve got a strange confluence of events here, and it seems like the market is starting to draw dotted lines toward a more optimistic future… no buy or sell changes from me at the moment, just some musings about recent inflation optimism and China optimism, and how that tied in with some excitement over Berkshire’s […]
Anyone interested in this one. Teekas last pre ipo went from $0.75 to $21.70 in a short time.
https://secure.stansberryinnovationsreport.com/?cid=MKT504365&eid=MKT518836&assetId=AST166792&page=1 I believe such an option will become available – any ideas what stock this would be though?
Hi Travis, I’d really appreciate your take on Maple Leaf Green World Inc. (MGW CA) It’s a TSA penny stock based in Calgary, Alberta. Momentum on it yesterday and today is exponentially higher than normal, and the price is up 25% over two days. I only notice it because it’s on my watchlist, since I’ve […]

Anyone Know what stock and (separately) what drug/compound Angel Reserve is touting for an Anti-Aging miracle? Were that true, not sure which would make me more excited…the ability to buy the stock or take the drug. Thanks team appreciate any insight.
I bought $1000 of TSLA at $85 for my kids college fund – he starts college 2029. Just put a trailing stop on it at 15%. Smart or dumb? I appreciate your thoughts.
Hi All. How do think this will effect TSLA and the semi conductor stocks? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55936011
I’m interested in views on John Hussman’s negative prophesies for the markets. He’s been negative for a while now but his arguments in his latest missive seem powerful: https://www.hussmanfunds.com/comment/mc210201/
Hi guys, I really want to start learning to understand more about stock numbers. I am very new to investing and following mostly gumshoes advice but I don’t actually understand the numbers or strategy behind it. How can I learn more about the decision making? A friend of me has followed a 3 day workshop […]
There Was a post about CloudMD a Canadian company a few days back it seems to have disappeared or maybe I do not know where to look. But I am wondering if anyone had taken a look at it and what your thoughts were. thanks
It’s about invisible detection. From Jason Simpkins.
Would be helpful if Travis would put a date on each review. Then looking back we could quickly see how the stock did.
As I write this, both the US and the world are seeing an upsurge in COVID-19. There has been a 46% spike in hospitalized patients, and in the past seven days more than a half-million more Americans have contracted the coronavirus. According to the Johns Hopkins dashboard that tracks COVID-19 cases all over the world, […]
Pretty much everyone who’s trying to build a large-scale newsletter issues proclamations like “stock of the year” and “stock of the decade,” since such claims get attention… after all, attention is the currency of the online marketer. So we’ll take this with a wee grain of salt, but here’s the beginning of Andy Snyder’s latest […]
I saved this teaser pitch to cover for you, dear Irregulars… and I confess that it’s mostly because covering a company this tiny and illiquid for our larger group of free readers feels a little bit irresponsible. Even if I say cynical or skeptical things about a stock, talking to thousands of my closest friends […]
