This article was originally published on January 11, but the Casey folks are promoting these same five stocks quite similarly with the bait of their “Become a Marijuana Millionaire in 2018” report, focusing on the impending Canadian legalization this summer, so we’re re-posting our January article here to answer some reader questions. The five stocks […]

Your Waistline and Your Lifeline: How Strong is that Link, Really?[ed. note: Michael Jorrin, who I like to call “Doc Gumshoe” (he’s a longtime medical writer, not a doctor) writes about health and medicine topics for us from time to time.

I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the latest pitch from Ian Wyatt for his $100K Portfolio newsletter — this is his letter that tracks the trades of a $100,000 real money portfolio of his own money, started up a couple years ago when every newsletter publisher was trying out a “real money” letter. I […]
We turn once again, dear friends, to my favorite kind of newsletter teaser ad: the promotion of “one little company” as the linchpin investment for exposure to a huge global trend. This time, it’s Alex Koyfman promoting his Penny Stock Millionaire newsletter ($999/year) by promising to reveal the name of a little “Super Battery” company […]
This is now the second time we’ve seen a “nighttime solar energy” pick from the folks at Angel Publishing — last time it was for a solar spray-on film innovation, in a pitch for Green Chip Stocks Premium where they claimed that a company had “perfected sunless solar,” and this time it’s a pitch from […]
Well, we’ve already covered one non-stock idea this week (that was the “Phi Account” pitch about philatelic investments) … so we might as well jump right in and look at another. This time, it’s a lot easier and is based on pocket change. And no, it’s not the same pitch for pre-1965 coins that have […]

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 […]

Heydy ho, investing friends! I finally wrap up my Annual Review this week by covering the final three names… and I’ve also got a bunch of other updates to share with you, along with one add-on buy and one brand-new holding for the Real Money Portfolio… enjoy! We’ll start with the completion of the annual […]
I’ve spent the past couple weeks going over my updated opinions on all of the past “Idea of the Month” stocks (or at least, those that haven’t already been dropped from coverage over the years), and I promised to put them all in one big list in order of likingness (yes, I know it’s not […]
It’s been an unusually active month in the Real Money Portfolio — a couple big sells, several brand new positions, and quite a bit more churn than I usually have. Those transactions have mostly been fairly small, the largest position that I opened or closed was the sale of my sub-2% Facebook position, but that’s […]
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, […]
Brazil’s economy is finally growing now, a growth that it started getting credit for a few years ago, before the expansion really started — five years ago, it was enough that Brazil under President Lula seemed to have a handle on inflation and a reasonably pro-business government. Now, it’s one of the few large, stable […]
Time, once again, for the Annual Review of all of the stocks I hold in the Real Money Portfolio. Many of my positions are built up over many years, and sometimes they’re stocks that don’t generate a lot of news or attention for months at a time, so I promise each January to cover every […]
I end up covering a large number of stocks here at Stock Gumshoe, so even though a very small number of them end up getting featured as an “Idea of the Month” that I like, or as a stock that I buy personally, there are usually quite a few of even these “favored” names that […]

This latest pitch coming through from the Wealth Daily folks, for Jimmy Mengel’s The Crow’s Nest advisory, has caught the attention of plenty of Gumshoe readers — it starts with a long spiel about tapping into the “secret” holdings of billionaires by using a SEC disclosure rule that these rich folks are all fighting tooth […]
Here’s the first part of an email inviting to join a free online event. What are your thoughts. ———————— On January 1, 2014, dozens of new tax laws – many of them a result of Obamacare – will blindside millions of American taxpayers. They include hikes in capital gains and dividend taxes… an increase in […]
It’s been an interesting week here in the Land of Gumshoe — Just this morning I’ve been patting myself on the back for suggesting that Africa Oil was a good deal again in the $7s a couple months ago (they just announced yet another oil find today, putting the shares up over $10 for the […]
Well, if you see a teaser pitch for Canadian Edge you know, at least, that the stocks being teased are, well, Canadian. So that helps us out — it means we can hopefully put just a couple litres of fuel into our Thinkolateur and we ought to be well on our way to some nice, […]
I don’t normally look at shares in companies so small listed in the famed arena of the ”pump and dump” stock promoters but this is one I stumbled across by accident while researching HEV/EV’s and renewable energy generally. I found an author, John Petersen, on Seeking Alpha who writes quite a bit about energy storage […]
“NOTE: The following presentation is based on information obtained from a closed-door meeting at the New York Stock Exchange. It contains details of the exact timeline when the next stock market crash is set to occur.” That’s the intro to the latest pitch for Steve Sjuggerud’s True Wealth — so yes, it starts out with […]
Whitney Tilson sold his presentation big this year, saying he had put together a Einhorn-esque slide deck of 120 pages with a short argument about K12 (LRN). On shorts in general, he said he has done awfully with shorts for a few years — but he sees a world that is so target-rich with crazy, […]
The Winklevoss twins came to talk to talk about Bitcoin. Which is definitely the least typical presentation I’ve seen at the Value Investing Congress — these are my notes from the talk. Bitcoin is a math-based asset created over a decentralized peer to peer network. They are hoping to convince us that Bitcoin will be […]

Guy Gottfried has a nice, albeit short, record of choosing excellent little Canadian value stocks that have risen in value pretty substantially over the year or so following his presentation. Of course, that doesn’t mean his pick this year will jump right up — but he’s presenting before the market opens, and the 500 or […]
The Oxford Club is looking at the promise of a new material and technology again — last time around, a few weeks ago, it was genetic material and the power of RNAi to extend human life … this time, it’s thorium and the power of that material to make nuclear power generation safe and fuel […]

I’ll be traveling this weekend, so I’m getting your Friday File out to you a bit early this week — I want to take a look at a couple of developments in the “Gumshoe Universe” of stocks and see if I want to change my mind about any of these companies. I also have a […]
