This email pitch from Dr. Kent Moors for his Energy Advantage newsletter seems to have hit just about every inbox in North America. It has come in under a bunch of different subject lines, from “stunning breakthrough set to make OPEC obsolete” to “$5 stock make OPEC obsolete” to “Say ‘Goodbye’ to Your Electric Bill… […]

Remember our old friends at BreakAway Investor? Well, after a long run of breathless teasers under Andrew Mickey’s name, and a nice spate of the same from Christian DeHaemer, there’s a new guy helming this newsletter, and he’s got a space pick for us. The new guy is Michael Robinson, and he apparently put together […]
This teaser pitch is from Manny Backus, who is promoting a new(ish) service called Triple Digit Returns — which looks like it’s a weekly advisory that recommends a different stock each week for 100%+ potential gains. This ad has been circulating since early in the year, and continues to drive questions to our inbox today […]
This article was originally published on November 13, 2013. The ad is circulating again and generating questions from readers, so we’re re-running it for you — the ad is still largely unchanged, and the three “secret” companies are still the same. The largest, FANUY, has matched the S&P with a 9% gain since the article […]
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 […]
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 ad is not exactly brand new, but folks have been sending in queries about it for a few weeks, and pretty steadily, so I thought I’d try to get some answers out for you. The pitch is from Ian Wyatt, who’s trying to sell his Top Stock Insights newsletter by throwing in a “special […]
The latest Keith Kohl ad caught my eye, since I’ve been interested in cobalt for a while now and figured that “blue gold” probably means he’s teasing that metal … so what’s the story, is it cobalt he’s talking about, and what’s the cobalt-related investment that he thinks will make us 1,000%-type gains? Well, he […]
Here’s the pitch that a bunch of readers sent me this week: “On June 28, 2011, a tiny Sunnyvale, CA based technology company, quietly made an incredible announcement. “In short, they’ve developed a new static random-access memory (“SRAM” for short) chip that drastically boosts online processing speeds. “Simply put, these chips are the fastest on […]
The ad we’re looking at today came in from the Oxford Club, and at first it didn’t catch my eye because I assumed it was yet another re-marketing of their old “Hyper Fi” idea from last year… but, it turns out, today they’re hinting at something different. Which is probably good, since that old Hyper-Fi […]
Hi folks — got an interesting one today that came in connected to the “Taipan chart of the day” — the chart itself was actually for Millicom, the fast-growing Latin American cell phone company, and they also talked about Vimpelcom, the phenomenally successful Russian cell phone company. But the meat of the ad was focused […]
This is a teaser pitch that we solved back in May of 2018, but folks continue to ask about it… and our older article is getting pretty stale, so we’re digging in for an updated look today. The headline of the ad pretty much says it all: “The little-known Washington D.C. financial “think tank” that […]
Ian Wyatt is out with a new ad for a “urgent briefing” that will be taking place today about a “secret billionaire investment”… and while the briefing hasn’t happened yet, so we’re not sure what the pitch will be, odds are good that he’s going to keep the “insider shares” secret and dangle a subscription […]
The folks at Money Map/Money Morning have really taken the “most aggressive advertisers” mantle from the other Agora affiliates of late — we can pretty much count on a new promotional campaign from this publisher becoming the “most asked about” pitch by our readers almost instantly, whether it’s Michael Robinson or Keith Fitz-Gerald or Dr. […]
Just from that headline, experienced investors and teaser-readers might well know that we’re looking today at rare earth minerals — you might also call them rare earths, rare earth magnets, rare earth elements or lanthanides (they’re usually pulled out of the period table and grouped separately on the bottom if you want the actual names […]
It seems as though interest in China is again growing, after a Fall and Winter when even rabid China bulls like Robert Hsu were somewhat cautiously looking for “greater China” opportunities and China resource plays in places like Brazil and Australia. Now, it seems, China is cheap enough to be back on the radar — […]
We’ve written about the “next Cisco” before — last time, it was DivX and it was being teased by Brian Hicks … not terribly successful, so far. This time, however, we’re looking at another older teaser that’s made the rounds many times — I’ve seen it going back to at least March. And since this […]
A reader sent me a question on a topic that interest me, and he referenced a teaser pitch from Justin Spittler for his IPO Insider ($2,997/yr), so that caught my interest… His actual words were, “any chance of sleuthing these 2 edge computing companies?” … so that’s the goal today, but I’ll also try to […]
This teaser pitch started running, and we covered it, in mid-September — this article originally ran on September 18. It has not been updated or revised in the six weeks since then, but the ad is still in heavy enough rotation that many people are asking about it again, so we’re re-posting it for you. […]
This latest ad is really disturbing. I drink a lot of coffee. Not a moderate amount, but a lot. Hot, black, strong. I gleefully read all the articles about how coffee is a wonder food, and particularly liked the recent commentary from some folks that coffee now has such a positive impact on health for […]
Chronic Flood Areas vs, Chronic Drought AreasHaving spent 40+ years in MA where 1/3 of the year is just cold and nasty.another 1/3 rain/drizzle with occasional good days so one can rake/repair stuff from the bad days and summers with some good weeks that never happen to be your vacation weeks Temecula CA is pretty good for my last tour on […]

Me thinks, it might be getting ready for the coal from Coalspur, 2016. The stock has been beaten of late not sure why cause […]
A pre-emptive tease: no newsletters are yet touting this company, but like many stocks that they do tease, it is small, cheap, almost unknown, and even has the exotic appeal of being Australian. Sort of. At Stock Gumshoe we not only deconstruct pitched stocks, we find teasable stocks before the newsletters do! Let’s return to […]

Another Monday morning, another “next wave of the internet” teaser. This teaser comes in from the Oxford Income Letter, edited by Marc Lichtenfeld over at the Oxford Club, and it’s a bit of a departure from the crazy small cap names he has more often touted of late (usually for his MicroCap Tech Trader newsletter). […]

The US certainly doesn’t have a monopoly on tech startups, or on breakthrough ideas, or even on dreams of avarice … so I guess it should come as no surprise that we also do not have a monopoly on breathlessly-hyped breakthrough technology newsletters. This latest one that I first heard about quite recently is from […]

Travis, can you solve this one? ”Which technology, and which company, is the best investment to take advantage of the sea change that will come from the smart grid?

That line about the Pope was my favorite of the several different ads I saw on this from Rogue Capitalists Daily when I waded into the teaser pits to start my day this morning — there were others, they appear to be testing which headline works best with investors, so I was also enticed by […]

Anyone familiar with Leo? I think this is new pub. From Investing Daily, which gives me pause.
“My Top-Secret Recommendation — Already Growing at 20% — Is Positioned to Score Huge Profits from the UAV Drone and 3-D Markets” That was the part of Stephen Leeb’s latest pitch that caught my attention — though, to be clear, that somewhat specific little hint came way down near the end of the presentation.
