This ad has popped up several times over the course of the year, and it’s now running again with a slight variation — mostly to change the “urgent” trade date from April 15 to November 9… so I thought we should take a quick look. The basic idea is that Robert Williams has a team […]

Nobody likes a monopoly… except investors, of course. We love monopolies, as long as we can own shares. There’s almost nothing better than a lack of competition, because that gives pricing power and better margins and a nice steady stream of profits. And if you can own a monopoly company that also pays out a […]
That’s our pitch today — that the new “themed” technology investments being teased by the Motley Foolians are as good as David Gardner’s push for AOL and Amazon.com back in the days before the Motley Fool published their current Stock Advisor newsletter. The ad letter actually comes in from a different Fool employee, Todd Etter, […]
This teaser solution was first published on December 9, when the ad was promising a dramatic surge on January 1. The stock has climbed quite a bit, and the latest urgent teaser pitch is that the company will announce something dramatic on February 18. That is the day they will announce earnings, after the market […]
I didn’t ask him, but apparently the folks who subscribe to Louis Navellier’s stuff have been requesting something cheap that can boom “in as little as the next 30 days” … so he’s responding with a low-priced stock pick for his (very not-low-priced) Quantum Growth newsletter. And, of course, he’s teasing the rest of us, […]
For those who find themselves feeling a little nauseous about an imminent financial collapse, inevitable hyperinflation, the death of money, the end of America, the zombie apocalypse, or whatever other kind of armageddon is being used to pitch newsletters I offer a simple antidote: read a teaser ad from Louis Navellier. I assume it’s Navellier’s […]
This one came in from Navellie’rs Global Growth service a week or two ago, at which time I told someone at the forum that I would get on it … and then I promptly forgot all about it. So here we are, a bit late, but in my defense the shares have fallen quite a […]
Louis Navellier is never shy about making promises — here’s how his latest ad for his Blue Chip Growth newsletter opens: “Why a tiny office in suburban Israel is our best bet — for repelling the attack — and turning a $7,500 investment into $22,500 by May 2012. “I don’t make this prediction lightly… you […]
Here’s the lead-in to the new Stansberry & Associates pitch: “How I Got My Multi-Millionaire Grandmother To Finally ‘Spill The Beans’ On Her BIG Retirement Secret “She went from making $17 a week… to completely retired, practically overnight. She hasn’t worked a day in over 53 years and will NEVER outlive her money. “She’s never […]
JR Crooks is fairly new in his role as editor at Global Resource Hunter, but the two teaser pitches he has sent out in the last few months have certainly caught the attention of our readers — the first one was for the silly “Pyramus Compound” and his special “black goo” replacement oil that the […]
Briton Ryle at The Wealth Advisory loves to tout the dividend-paying stocks that underly some big trends, and, of course, to hint at them in misleading ways to make them seem every more secretive and special… which doesn’t mean the stocks are necessarily bad ideas, but does mean we should dig deeper and understand the […]
Steve McDonald made some friends in the world of Gumshoe a few years ago, when his income-focused advisory The Bond Trader was doing pretty well. He moved on from that to a service with a similar strategy for the Oxford Club folks called Oxford Bond Advantage, and he’s now pitching that newsletter by tantalizing readers […]
This article was originally published as part of the Friday File on August 10, 2018. It has not been updated or revised, though the stock teased is still at roughly the same price and no major news has hit since then. We’re breaking the Friday File up into two parts today — starting with this […]
The spiel is convincing, as they all are — the folks at Rogue Capitalists Trader, which appears to be a pretty new service from the Contrarian Profits folks, are teasing us that they’ve got the inside scoop on a company that’s taking the lead in bringing high-tech fiber-optic sensors underground. These sensors are apparently inspired […]
Every time I attend a big investing conference I try to pick my favorite idea from all the investments presented and share it with the Irregulars. As usual, it’s been a bit difficult to narrow down all of the ideas presented at the Value Investing Congress and choose a single one to present to you […]
This month I’ve been strongly considering whether or not a uranium-related investment makes sense — one of the reasons that my ears perked up when I was reading about Andy Obermueller’s tease of Cameco earlier in the week. Uranium should hit a pretty strong bull market as the end of the US/Russia warhead dismantling accord […]
There’s been quite a bit going on in the companies that I follow both personally and for the Irregulars, so I want to check in on a few of these today — I’ll be taking at least a quick look at Sandstorm Metals and Sandstorm Gold, Invensense, Xerox, and maybe some other stuff will leak […]
[ed. note: Michael Jorrin, who I dubbed “Doc Gumshoe” years ago, is a longtime medical writer (not a doctor) who writes for us a couple times a month about health issues, marketing, and trends. He does not typically focus on specific investment opportunities, but has agreed to our trading restrictions… as with all of our […]
Casey Technology-smart grid-next industry the internet will change foreverTravis, 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? Our research tells us it’s not in the companies providing the physical components, nor is it in the behemoths like Cisco and Fujitsu, for which this […]
Annual Review time! Earlier today I covered the changes that were actually made to the portfolio this week, and now I’m starting at the top of that portfolio with insurance stocks, and staying with that theme to also include a few insurance-related stocks that are smaller positions. Three of my top five equity positions are […]
Invensense (INVN), which in January I noted was a reasonable buy up to $20 or so but not one to load up on right before earnings (which were two weeks ago), reported pretty tepid earnings and forecast no immediate skyrocketing growth this year … that helped to keep a lid on the stock, down under […]
Who can resist an entreaty like that? Several intrepid Gumshoe readers sent along pleas for a solution to this one today … and we are, as always, happy to oblige. I know you have a choice when it comes to blathering internet chatterboxes, and I want to thank you for choosing this one today. The […]
[Ed. note: Here is the next exciting installment from Jim Skelton, the Blind Squirrel, who is sharing his experiences as a financial advisor with us. As with all of our contributors, the opinions he expresses are his own, and we haven’t reviewed, approved or screened his ideas. His previous articles can be seen here.] Greetings […]
The spiel is convincing, as they all are — the folks at Rogue Capitalists Trader, which appears to be a pretty new service from the Contrarian Profits folks, are teasing us that they’ve got the inside scoop on a company that’s taking the lead in bringing high-tech fiber-optic sensors underground. These sensors are apparently inspired […]
[ed. note: Today we have another member of the Gumshoe fraternity of special columnists to introduce — to a select group that includes Myron Martin writing about junior mining stocks and Michael Jorrin sharing his “Doc Gumshoe” thoughts about health and medicine, we’re adding a blind squirrel. Jim Skelton, who modestly notes that “even a […]
The Motley Fool gets more coverage here at Stock Gumshoe than pretty much any other newsletter publisher, with the possible exception of Stansberry — partly because the Fool has had some very good picks over the years, and partly because they have one of the biggest email lists around and they push a lot of […]
[ed note: We feature the musings of our favorite health and medicine writer, Michael Jorrin, a couple times a month, and we’ve taken the liberty of calling him “Doc Gumshoe” (he’s not a doctor). You’ll find no stock picks in his pieces, but hopefully will get plenty of insight into the medical matters he explains […]
[ed. note: We feature the writings of Doc Gumshoe, our favorite medical scribe, every few weeks here at Stock Gumshoe. He is not a doctor, but we value his insight, research, contrariness and skepticism … and, most importantly, his ability to explain complex health issues for our readers. He generates a lot of discussion with […]
Another Motley Fool growth stock to sniff out for you today … David Gardner has gotten a reputation as a compelling “rule breaking” growth stock picker over the past few decades, with some huge winners chosen (and held through very tumultuous times) as he built the Motley Fool with his brother Tom. The flagship Motley […]
Christian DeHaemer is pushing a newsletter called Technology & Opportunity with the idea that you can “Ride the Robot Revolution” and make massive gains, just like getting in early on the computer revolution by buying Apple, Microsoft or Dell 30 years ago. And I think it’s a new letter, though I’m not certain — it’s […]
On days like today, I don’t have to spend much time deciding which of the dozens of teaser pitches we receive to cover — it’s unanimous, Gumshoe readers are crying out for a solution to the latest pitch from Dr. Kent Moors. Moors is an energy expert and Duquesne professor, and he sells the expertise […]
This month, as I indicated I would do when I surprisingly bought some shares of a seismic company a little while ago, I want to take a look at two of the available “seismic data” stocks — there are many others, including companies that specialize in software or processing or building or running the equipment […]
Patrick Cox has found a new home — he has issued many a tempting teaser campaign over the years, and I was wondering what had happened to him after leaving his Breakthrough Technology Alert in the hands of Ray Blanco this Summer. Well, I can stop wondering — he jumped to a new publisher and […]
David Gardner has touted and teased many stocks for both his Rule Breakers and his Stock Advisor services — probably, in fact, we’ve covered more Motley Fool teaser ads here at Stock Gumshoe than we have any other publisher (and according to the quick calculations of one of our readers, they’ve had more winners than […]
Buy this ‘Under $0.50’ Stock by November 1st, 2013 “This is one of the few times in the history of our business we have recommended a company so small and with such high upside potential. A triple-digit gain within the next 12-36 months is highly possible…. “We’ve been vetting the opportunity for nearly two years.” […]
Patrick Cox has mysteriously disappeared from Agora Financial’s publications, he’s no longer at the helm of the always-interesting Breakthrough Technology Alert … but that doesn’t mean this newsletter has disappeared. In fact, they’re sending out the latest florid pitch for their hot idea and not even discounting the price — under Cox most of the […]
Ed. note: Here is our latest contribution from Myron Martin, who writes for us primarily about junior miners. He has agreed to our trading restrictions, and, as usual, we have not reviewed, approved or screened his stocks or ideas, and the opinions he expresses are solely his own. Myron’s past commentaries can be seen here. Popular […]

Mick Mcguire’s title is “Don’t buy this Recovery,” but he started out by profiling a company that is a pure play on North American construction — but it’s commercial and industrial construction, not residential. There has not yet been much recovery in commercial construction, but he thinks it’s about to begin. His pick is United […]
Carl Chen presented about Taiwan and China, presenting a Taiwanese stock and a Chinese stock. They think that China is still on the ascendancy, and that it has become too fashionable to talk about the failure of China, which has the longest existing human culture on the planet. Taiwan is a great place to look […]
