Porter Stansberry is probably the best marketer out there in the financial newsletter world, and has access to the biggest email lists both within his company and in partnership with all of Agora’s other subsidiaries and affiliates… so when one of his ideas or letters gets a big marketing push, it tends to have a […]

Today we look into the teased “Gold-X” from Gerardo Del Real, who writes the Junior Mining Monthly newsletter and calls himself a “Texas gold expert” … his ad promises an easier way to get huge returns on little gold stocks while taking a lot less risk. “Gold-X” seems an odd name for a “secret” investing […]
It’s like sweet, sweet music in the ear of the gold enthusiast: “The Secret Return to the Gold Standard “A silent conspiracy will make gold a new currency on January 1st 2013. Central banks and governments are buying gold by the metric ton… “If you hold any dollars, here’s what you must do now to […]
This week I’m seeing a new wave of questions about this Jim Rickards ad from Agora, and the ad itself has been (clumsily) updated a few times since we covered it back in November of 2017 (the last version with the “by March 19, 2019” deadline even suggested that Yellen was still President of the […]
We’re seeing a lot of questions this week about the promo from Stansberry for Dan Ferris’ Extreme Value (currently $1,499, no refunds), so that’s our focus for today. And it looks like this is a repeat of an ad we’ve looked at a couple times over the past 18 months, but it’s got a new […]
Shah Gilani has a new pitch going around for his Capital Wave Forecast, all about how the short-selling and manipulation by the six big bullion-trading banks brought the “flash crash” in gold and drove it lower … but will certainly drive it higher now that the move is done, with his expected price of $2,500 […]
The gold bull market is really back, at least when it comes to newsletter promotions. Probably the quickest off the starting line was Porter Stansberry with his “Metropolitan Club” plan and introduction of the Stansberry Gold Investor service in late March that drove a lot of investor attention to the gold mining sector (not many […]
Matt Badiali has a new promo out for his S&A Resource Report, and it’s all built on the eventual resurgence of gold. He teases a few stocks for us, and we’ll get to identifying them in a moment — but first, he goes through the long rationale for gold’s rise over the next five years […]
Here’s how the headline reads for this latest teaser from the Taipan folks, for Zachary Scheidt’s New Growth Investor: “Urgent Gold Investing Alert: “President Obama Wants to Confiscate Your Gold “Buried deep inside the healthcare reform bill is a law that could set the stage for the federal government to take away ALL your gold. […]
Casey Research is out with a new Casey Report teaser ad about gold, and it’s strikingly similar to one that they ran back in November of 2016 (that’s about a year and a half ago, for those who are calendar-challenged). Which is no big surprise — once a newsletter publisher finds a theme and a […]
This is a reveal of a secret that probably isn’t secret for most of you at this point, but I’ve been asked by many folks to chime in… so I’ll give it a shot. Dan Ferris is selling his Extreme Value newsletter with a long spiel that looks like it was only sent out to […]
If newsletter guys know anything, it’s how to sell gold investments — gold has been at the core of the newsletter hype industry since the 1980s, attracting ornery gold bugs every time the gold price rises a bit, so we’re seeing most publishers running quickly to the virtual mailbox with their gold pitches these days… […]
“One unique type of gold investment (that most Americans have never heard of) based in British Columbia has outperformed every asset class in existence – rising twice as fast as gold. “The average investor in this gold secret made over 80% a year for 20 straight years – even after gold crashed last year. “But […]
Sean Brodrick is hawking not a subscription this time, but a one-time publication he calls The Goldstone Strike Report. In this report, he claims to have the “greatest gold arbitrage play of the century” … a company that has benefitted by the fact that “The world’s richest country is practically giving away its gold at […]
Jeff Opdyke has a pretty inflammatory ad going around these days for The Sovereign Investor, it’s all about how the consistent export of gold from the US — as reported in form FT-900 — will lead to America experiencing it’s “next 9/11” moment in April of this year. The basic argument is that the US […]
Regular investors are getting interested in gold again, after the big run it had in the first half of this year… and many of us also remember the ludicrous returns that many folks got from buying bitcoin early on… so it’s only natural that this ad puts our greed receptors into overdrive: “The time to […]
Earlier this week, when I was looking into Teeka Tiwari’s pitch about stealing from Vladimir Putin, I promised that I’d follow up and look at the gold investment he was also teasing in that letter… so let’s get to it! His overall spiel is selling something he calls the “New Cold War Playbook” as a […]
This teaser is going to get a lot of attention from Gumshoe readers, partly because Stansberry Phase 1 Investor teasers always get a lot of attention (they usually tease a small stock and they charge $5,000 for the newsletter, which gives them an aura of awesomeness — deserved or not), and partly because the pitch […]
Just to be clear, when I include that “3-to-1 Gains Guaranteed” in the headline, that’s a quote from the ad — your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe doesn’t guarantee anything, except that I’ll continue to do my best to dig into these fabulous teaser ads … you keep reading, I’ll keep writing, that’s the deal. Today’s […]
Well, the gold price seems to be recovering slightly this morning after a few days of backtracking once it got close to the $1,000 level again … so it’s time to look at another gold ad, no? Today’s feature is an ad for the Big Gold service from Casey Research, edited by Jeff Clark (there […]
This is a reveal of a secret that probably isn’t secret for most of you at this point, but I’ve been asked by many folks to chime in… so I’ll give it a shot. Dan Ferris is selling his Extreme Value newsletter with a long spiel that looks like it was only sent out to […]
Thank you for coming back and reading my musings week after week, we here at Stock Gumshoe would not exist if not for the attention and generosity of readers like you. I don’t say it enough, I’m sure, but I really appreciate you being with us… and having the patience to slog through these sometimes […]
Earnings season is winding down, with only a few of my larger holdings yet to report, and so is my Annual Review of all of the stocks in my Real Money Portfolio — so I’ve got another installment of that for you today, sharing my updated opinion on a bunch of holdings (including a few […]
OK, I know, it’s getting a little ridiculous that I still haven’t covered the whole portfolio of stocks with my annual review updates — but for some I’m waiting to see what the quarterly update tells me, and for others, well, I’m just trying to catch up. Here’s what I’ve got for you by way […]
This week I’m seeing a new wave of questions about this Jim Rickards ad from Agora, and the ad itself has been (clumsily) updated a few times since we covered it back in November of 2017 (the last version with the “by March 19, 2019” deadline even suggested that Yellen was still President of the […]
Apparently, Stansberry True Wealth editor Steve Sjuggerud recommended a gold stock at the Stansberry conference this week, and it was teased in the Stansberry Digest emails that a bunch of readers sent to me this morning… so that’s our quickie topic of the day. Here’s how that stock was teased to non-attendees: “Longtime Digest readers […]

This latest ad for Matt Badiali’s Real Wealth Strategist has all the stuff I love to see in a teaser pitch… a secret undisclosed location, a mysterious leadership team, a huge “you’ll make a fortune” promise as the company “unlocks a tidal wave of wealth,” and, even better, the combination of two hot ticket investing […]
We’re seeing a lot of questions this week about the promo from Stansberry for Dan Ferris’ Extreme Value (currently $1,499, no refunds), so that’s our focus for today. And it looks like this is a repeat of an ad we’ve looked at a couple times over the past 18 months, but it’s got a new […]
There’s no more cyclical stock than a semiconductor stock, and we’re seeing the whipsaw slash through that market now as trade sentiment weakens and pundits begin to see some weakness in the economy, particularly in the employment numbers, and the Federal Reserve fuels that uncertainty by essentially promising a rate cut in their attempt to […]
I’m going to get to several updates on Real Money Portfolio stocks at the end, including those questions “What to do with Qualcomm (QCOM)?” … but first, I’m going to go through the stocks where I’ve completed my Annual Review this week. Each year I promise to re-analyze and reconsider my opinion about each stock […]
If you’re wondering whether it’s interest rates or just “worry about overvaluation or growth” that’s making the stock market go crazy this week, or whether it’s the trade war or political upheaval or something else, well, join the club. There’s some indication that traders are in fear of the “slowdown” that could be caused by […]
Since the other part of today’s Friday File is all about a biotech stock tease, I thought I’d start out this week’s look at my Real Money Portfolio stocks in that sector. I avoid the drug developers, for the most part, but health care should be a huge sector and a growing one, in general, […]
Hello, Gumshoe friends! I’ve been off the grid for a little while, but it’s good to be back — and it’s nice to see the pile of hot, steaming teaser pitches that have larded up my inbox over the past couple weeks. So… which one to look at first? I’ve had a lot of requests […]
A few updates and thoughts to share with you on this fine May Friday, starting with a more detailed look a the new healthcare-related stock that I added to my portfolio a little while ago and haven’t discussed much yet. That stock is Premier, Inc. (PINC), a truly generic name for a pretty interesting company. […]
Casey Research is out with a new Casey Report teaser ad about gold, and it’s strikingly similar to one that they ran back in November of 2016 (that’s about a year and a half ago, for those who are calendar-challenged). Which is no big surprise — once a newsletter publisher finds a theme and a […]
So… what’s been happening to the Real Money Portfolio stocks this week? What else caught my eye? No transactions this week, but plenty of stuff to think about… Clean TeQ Holdings (CLQ.AX, CLQ.TO, CTEQF) announced a somewhat surprising equity raise a couple days ago. It seems inspired largely by urgency — they can’t really claim […]
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 […]
Well, we finish out the week with yet another dramatic performance from the market-dominating tech stocks. Alphabet (GOOG) did better than expected and popped a bit, climbing further through the day, almost as much as the gains Microsoft (MSFT) made on a more dramatic ‘beat’ of expectations (though analysts have always been better at estimating […]
So… what’s going on this week? The world watched Congress actually pass something last night, on the 30th anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash (they passed their spending framework bill for 2018, which is importantly mostly because it sets the stage for tax reform legislation to proceed in the coming months), so that made […]
