I’m shaking things up a bit this time around — every year, I spend some time early in the year going over all the past suggestions I’ve made as “Idea of the Month” picks, and we’re doing the same once again starting today … but this time I’m going to go through them thematically, we’ll […]

That “new boom is born” the subject line of the email ads/articles I’ve been receiving from Andrew Mickey for his Prudent Investing newsletter from Q1 Publishing — which I think is still just him at this point. My understanding is that Mickey started Q1 after getting fired from Taipan a couple years ago, long-time Gumshoe […]
Welcome back, me! I’ve been vacationing for a week or so, and I’m ready to dive back into the teaser swamps to see what little morsels we might find to discuss. This one was an easy pick for the Thinkolator’s first project of the week: Nick Hodge is pitching one of his newsletters, Wall Street’s […]
“Why Are Trump Insiders Pouring Millions Into This Mysterious Energy? “One that history has shown could mint all-new millionaires. “But NOT in fossil fuels or renewals. Instead, it’s an unusual kind of fuel that’s critical to his energy plans… his climate plan… even his foreign policy… “This kind of fuel has boomed ONLY twice before […]
Lots of folks have been asking about Dave Forest’s ad for Brandt Oil, which is apparently in every email inbox in the land this week… the ad is for Casey’s International Speculator, which is apparently helmed by Forest now, and for which they’d like to receive $1,995 from you for a year’s subscription (no refunds, […]
“12,000 Feet Below the Surface of the Ocean the Last Untouched Reservoir of Crude Oil Lies Waiting — and Only One Company Can Bring It to An Increasingly Desperate World!… “… now oil could be heading for $150 a barrel… politicians are talking about attacking Iran … and everyone is scrambling to tap the tens […]
The “Trade War” is getting real, and the higher prices imposed by governments in China and the US. Tariffs are just import taxes, paid eventually by the customer, so they raise prices… which, our economist friends will tell us, suppresses demand… and since the higher price is going to a tax, not to a company, […]
Ok, this is definitely the “most requested” ad over the last 24 hours — I can’t tell you how many folks have asked your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe to look into “Living Metal,” but the list is getting loooong. And we are, of course, happy to oblige. The pitch is from Michael Robinson for his Radical […]
Maybe the scariest thing I can tell you is, “I’m not selling everything.” The drumbeat in my head continues to be one of worry, I continue to be a little bit surprised at how high stocks are going, and how resilient stocks are. But thankfully, I haven’t been acting on those macro worries — because […]
Here’s how today’s ad opens: “The biggest opportunity of the new world economy… “‘Hard Luck’ Scheele’s Discovery Could Quadruple Your Money by July 14, 2010 “Every country in the developing world needs this 231-year-old discovery, but… “Only 10 companies in the world have it… “Only 3 of them are pure plays… “Only ONE can actually […]
That’s a mysterious headline, right? The pitch we’re looking at today is from Dave Lashmet at Stansberry, who’s selling his Stansberry Venture newsletter for $5,000 — and the carrot he’s dangling to get you to subscribe is this “most disruptive biotech discovery” … which, it turns out, is a form of radiation therapy that, in […]
Michael Robinson runs the technology/venture newsletters for Money Map Press, and he’s out with yet another marijuana promo — after all, any newsletter that doesn’t jump on board the marijuana stock rocket is deemed pretty much irrelevant these days, just like any newsletter without a “crypto expert” was ignored in January. So yes, now Michael […]
This is the headline that so many readers have been asking about in recent weeks… “URGENT: If you missed America’s ‘pot stock mania,’ here’s your second chance to become a marijuana millionaire. This 58¢ pot stock is set to soar on October 31, 2017, when Canada votes to legalize marijuana for the entire country.” That’s […]
That’s a grabby headline, right? Gives me a chance to remind you that no, I’m not touting these stocks or pitching these ideas — I’m just sharing the answers to the compelling teaser pitches that are sent our way by the newsletter marketers. So no, I don’t necessarily think a 1,295% gain is ahead. But […]
I’ve had quite a few readers write in to ask me about silver lately — there was a spurt of “silver will be better than gold” newsletter teasers over the Summer, and this latest pitch from the Insiders Strategy Group folks for their Macro Trader newsletter has been filling up the inbox … … so […]
I got to thinking about this month’s “Idea of the Month” as the propane truck was delivering our regular supply of fuel to a chilly Castle Gumshoe — even with prices up a little bit, I didn’t ask him to deliver less. Sure, we might turn down the thermostat a little to save a few […]

If you’re just joining us, we’ve been working on identifying the Australian stock picks teased by the new Australian Edge newsletter from Roger Conrad and David Dittman — that first note is here, with the lead-in about their general “invest in Australia” theme, and they teased us with eight “income wonders from down under” that […]
The folks at Investing Daily (which used to be called KCI) brought us one of the first foreign investment newsletters that many retail investors probably heard of, the income-focused Canadian Edge that Roger Conrad used to ride the great wave of Canadian royalty trust investing in the golden age of that investment (that being the […]
Crazy days, no? The overriding fear among investors seems to be that we’re headed back to something like the Fall of 2008, a “Lehman moment” if Europe doesn’t get its act together and Greece or one of the other weaker pups of the EU actually defaults on their debt … or defaults in some extra-bad […]
A couple weeks ago I started my annual navel-gazing exercise of looking back at past “idea of the month” stock (and other investment) suggestions — that first look covered the first year or so of these more formalized ideas for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars, from 2008 to mid-2009, and now we’ll try to catch up. […]
Gas prices have come in a little bit from the spike levels we saw earlier in the year, but the price at the pump is still one of the economic indicators that has the biggest impact on us — the prices are in huge, bold numbers on signs all along our roadways, and the routine […]

Weekly alert that says it looks for “cutting-edge opportunities… rare, exotic and mysterious opportunities that make hedge funds – and their clients – very rich.”
Today, for our Friday pleasure, I thought I’d dig into a teaser for a newsletter that you can’t subscribe to right now even if you want to — how sexy and exclusive is that?! Actually, the teaser came out in a very abbreviated and clue-light form in an ad for the “re-opening” of a Motley […]
Sometimes when the economy is worrisome, the markets tumultuous, and no “story” stocks get you particularly excited about near-term catalysts, it’s time to focus on beaten down asset classes that you can buy for cheaper prices — it may not be the low for these assets, of course (and it probably ain’t, I’m not that […]
“When this controversial law takes effect on October 1, 2011… folks who act now could get ‘hedge fund rich’” That’s how Zachary Scheidt is launching his new service, called Hedge Fund Strategist from Taipan, a publisher in the Baltimore Agora-plex (Taipan is currently in the process of renaming itself “Insiders Strategy Group,” just to keep […]
I haven’t written much, if at all, about Richard Band over the years, but he’s certainly a been a fixture in the investment newsletter landscape for quite a long time (I think the letters been running for 30 years or so) … so when I saw his latest teaser pitch I thought I oughtta give […]

I hope you can forgive your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe for being a bit addle-brained, but I can’t seem to keep track in my head of the vast numbers of natural resources and commodities-focused newsletters that have sprung up (or been renamed) over the last year or two. I think this one is new, it’s called […]
