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 […]

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 […]
The latest screed from Danielle O’Dell for the Money Map Report is aimed at first getting you all fired up about Obamacare, in case you’re one of the seven people in the United States that doesn’t already have a strong opinion about that law’s impending enactment, and then, more importantly, at telling you that she’s […]
Louis Basenese and the folks at White Cap Research are launching a new advisory service that looks for “game changers” in tiny stocks that they think will have hugely disruptive success — the newsletter is called MicroCap Tech Trader and will run you about a thousand bucks a year … but if that sounds a […]
I love love love the stories of swashbucklers and voyages of discovery that pepper the finest investment teaser ads — long lost islands, pirate treasure, ancient mines left fallow since the days of the Pharaohs … now that’s how you pitch an investment idea! If we didn’t all want a little of the romance of […]
“This Makes Everything Obsolete “50,000x thinner than a human hair… “230x more powerful than silicon… “200x stronger than steel… “New ‘miracle material’ promises breakthroughs in everything from batteries and medical science… to oil exploration and defense systems… “Here’s your chance to be first in line for 300% gains. That’s how the ad from Nick Hodge […]
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 […]
“This tiny gold outfit already tripled investor’s money since we first alerted you one year ago! But over the next five minutes, find out how Wednesday’s historic news could triple your money… AGAIN!” That’s how the latest missive for Greg McCoach’s Insider Alert gets started — McCoach also runs a wider-circulation newsletter called Mining Speculator […]
[Ed note: This article was originally published in June, 2013 when the shares of the stock teased, Alnylam (ALNY) were around $30 and the Oxford Club was saying that the first person to live to 1,000 is already alive … now they’re touting it as the holder of the “Magic” Keys to Immortality, but the […]
I don’t want to give you too much to read, since probably the most interesting reading this weekend will be Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders (which should be posted here as part of Berkshire’s Annual Report, around 8am EST tomorrow), but I do have a quick teaser answer to share with you… and a […]
Peak Velocity NewsletterBanyan Hill Publishing (James Dale Davidson, Paul Mampilly, J L Jastine among others) is promoting another newsletter … Peak Velocity…Allegedly a Michael Carr spent 10 years and $300,000 developing his software program that will give subscribers 2-3 recommendations per month of stocks ready to explode. The idea is to buy high and sell higher .. […]
StreetAuthority is calling a recent buy of Warren Buffett’s “The little stock that could make you rich” — it’s apparently a retailer that Buffett “recently” bought, to the tune of 14 million shares (I’m afraid I can’t sing along at that volume, but I do always like to know what Buffett’s buying). The wise and […]
Of the many things that investors lust after, foremost are the idea of being in a “secret” deal that not everyone else knows about, and receiving high cash dividends from their investments. Which is understandable — it’s fun to be “in the know,” and historical stock market returns show the importance of dividends. By many […]
This one may not be entirely loaded with secret stocks, since I suspect quite a few ardent Gumshoe readers have already figured out who they’re talking about as “Steve Jobs’ Mentor” … and therefore figured out which company they’re teasing … but, well, I’m still getting a lot of questions every day on this one, […]
Nick Hodge has been touting “next big thing” materials stocks for as long as Stock Gumshoe has been around, from rare earth magnets to graphite and uranium and lithium and cobalt and pretty much any other heavily-hyped stuff you might imagine digging out of the ground… and his latest pitch is about what is arguably […]
I haven’t looked much at Tobin Smith and his ChangeWave services over the past year or so — I think the last teaser of his that I looked at was hyping Sigma Designs back in April of 2008, which he promised would be a huge gainer within a year. Of course, that didn’t take into […]
Newsletter copywriters are no different from other marketers: they will do whatever it takes to get attention by playing off of something or someone that has celebrity or notoriety. In the past that’s meant implying that some big celebrity investor has a connection to a “secret” stock or technique, or that someone high up in […]
The Casey Energy Report is pretty pricey these days ($995/year), and so it gets quite a bit of reader attention when they hint around about a hot new idea of theirs. And so it was that your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe got a nice, full mailbox this morning with folks forwarding a story that the Casey […]
Another biotech teaser for you today — these never seem to stop, perhaps partly because small biotech stocks are almost the only ones, other than little junior miners, that have a legitimate chance of seeing their prospects change dramatically overnight or see rapid 100%, 200%, 500% share price gains on a new discovery or shockingly […]
The Motley Foolies are running an ad this week that teases us about a stock Warren Buffett has been buying — his “new toy” is something in the oil services business, and they’re calling it a “no brainer”. Like many of their recent ads, this one’s signed by someone other than the Gardner brothers who […]
Several folks have been asking about the latest teaser pitch from Stansberry Gold & Silver Investor, and the header of that ad pretty much tells you why: “Urgent ‘Gold Trigger’ Buy Alert From Stansberry Gold & Silver Investor: “The last time this “Gold Trigger” alert appeared, it made investors 123% in a single day.” That’s […]
Today, for your holiday reading pleasure, we’re re-sharing a teaser solution that’s still being asked about (and apparently still being heavily promoted by the Sovereign Society folks). The original solution to this teaser appeared in a Friday File commentary, so some of you may not have seen it. I’ve excerpted most of the teaser solution […]
We’ve gotten a lot of questions about the latest spiel from Marin Katusa, so I’m going to take a few minutes to dig into that today. I’ll warn you up front that I probably can’t be definitive about answers, because it looks like the ad doesn’t go into much detail on this “best lithium stock […]
Charles Mizrahi has moved over to Angel Publishing, so we’re probably going to see a lot more ads for his Inevitable Wealth Portfolio. And the latest one, which I’ve been seeing for a couple weeks, pretty well bangs us over the head with the huge promises… including that “make 109 times your money” bit, which […]
Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has insight into what stock is being promoted here and what people think? Dear Mauldin Reader, Jared Dillian here. If you have read The 10th Man, my free e-letter, you know that I’m something of a contrarian. I look to the most out-of-favor sectors for profit opportunities, and I […]
Everyone’s talking about this emerging tech revolution. It’s a $19 trillion opportunity according to Cisco. That’s trillion with a “t”—roughly the same size as the entire National Debt of the United States. One expert calls it “the largest growth opportunity in the history of humans.” So it’s no surprise that General Electric and Microsoft just […]
This stock certainly has Gumshoe Nation in a bit of a lather… though it’s also one that many of you already know about, and the solution to this teaser is not super-secret (it has been posted in recent discussions here at Stock Gumshoe a few times). Marc Lichtenfeld puts out a newsletter advisory called Lightning […]
The intro from today’s teaser ad sounds pretty similar to lots of other ads we’ve seen with a commodity or gold focus… “URGENT INVESTMENT ALERT: “Miss this chance to buy these resource stocks now, while they’re dirt cheap, and you’ll regret it for years… “Three ‘Bounce-Back Mining Belters’ to Buy NOW” But today the big […]
As you may have noticed, we’re shaking things up in the design and layout of the site. Most things will continue to work very similarly to how they have in the past, but the site will work much better on mobile devices and smaller screens now, and should be generally easier on the eyes. We’ve […]
Late last week I started digging into a teaser from Sean Brodrick at Oxford Resource Explorer that promised “three supercharger plays” for the bull market in precious metals that he expects — and though I only “solved” the first teased stock that day I promised to follow up and catch up on the other two. […]

A few things to blather on about for you today — a teaser, a new mutual fund I’ve been following that has some appeal (and some of my money now), and some quick updates on my portfolio. First, though, I want to call attention to our discussions here at Stock Gumshoe. Most readers will never […]
Relatively new letter in 2016, priced as an entry level letter, with goal to “get in on the ground floor in innovative companies that are just about to see explosive growth.” Mampilly previously worked on letters for Palm Beach, Stansberry and Agora Financial over the past four years. Banyan Hill (the publisher) used to be […]
This article originally appeared on July 22, 2015, and the bulk of it has not been updated or revised since. The meat of the ad is essentially the same, and if Lichtenfeld really “bet his paycheck” on this stock (which was and is Alnylam) on July 22 he’s so far lost about 65% of that […]

First Published March 8 2016 This is not a brand-new ad, and it has been discussed by Gumshoe readers a few times — but apparently I’ve never written about it or looked closely at it, so we’ll remedy that today. And, of course, we’ll name the “secret” stocks being teased for you. Keith Kohl opens […]
We’re just about shut down here at Stock Gumshoe HQ for the market holiday today, but I do have some updated thoughts and musings for you about a few of the companies I own and write about with some regularity: Leucadia (LUK), Medical Properties Trust (MPW), and Fosun (FOSUF). And I should also update you […]
Hi. I’m a new Gumshoe joiner and wondered if anyone has information regarding the above. It is a software that needs to be installed on an MT4 platform and claims to accurately predict trend direction for the major currency pairs, across a number of timeframes
