This article was originally written as a Friday File for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars two weeks ago, on June 5. It has been slightly edited, but not updated for current prices (the stock teased is down significantly from that date, the commodity in question is also down a little bit). How about another sexy teaser […]

A couple notes for you before I get into the investment idea that I want to feature this month: First, thanks to the new folks who have joined this week — quite a few folks came on board in response to the teaser barrage for Sandstorm Gold, which is still being very actively teased by […]
Natural gas has to be the least favorite commodity in the United States right now — it’s dirt cheap, local communities in some areas are harrumphing about earthquakes and water pollution in the areas where hydrofracking is producing this cheap gas, and the gas developers are seemingly in desperate straits as they have to keep […]
Happy holiday season, campers! What’s up with the Real Money Portfolio as we head into a slow Thanksgiving week? The most brutal takedown of the week was NVIDIA (NVDA), which I’m sure many of you noticed this morning — that’s a stock that hit a stop loss a while back for us (I was watching […]
There are many significant trends and themes that you can use to develop investing ideas, but one of them stands out above most: The population is growing, and people have to eat. Add on top of that the fact that more people want to eat more protein, and the demand for agricultural products should grow […]
The Motley Fool copywriters seem to love this general type of pitch — “Must buy X before Y happens!” — they used it heavily for their multiple teases of American Tower, among others (buy before the iPhone 4, then buy before Verizon gets the iPhone … I assume we’ll also see it again when the […]
I hope all of you Irregulars are having a delightful Friday — here in the nation’s capital it’s raining (actual precipitation, not just the cash coming down from Ben Bernanke’s helicopters) and grey, and your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe needs a bit of a pick me up. So what fits the bill for today’s Friday File? […]
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 […]

Ian Wyatt is pitching a stock that he says is going to surge on the demand for more wireless data that comes with each new iteration of the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy… and I didn’t look at this ad for a few days, because it sounded really familiar. Wyatt’s copywriters love the Apple iPhone connection […]
If you’re hearing the “market panic, buy dividend-paying stalwarts” advice that seems to be coming from all corners of the investment world, and if that advice rings true to you, there’s really only one thing I’d tell you: Buy DTN. That’s the WisdomTree dividend ETF that excludes financial stocks (most dividend ETFs are heavily into […]
Sometimes the world just gives you a bad case of the “blahs.” The politicians are disappointingly putting their own political prospects above national interests, unemployment is terrible, friends are out of work, our houses are worth less than we thought, the world is in decline and we should be moving to a rural farm, burying […]
It seems like I’m starting to get into a bit of a rut — many of the stocks I’ve profiled for you recently have been somehow involved in the commodities space, whether little oil stocks, or oil services, or what have you. And despite my fondness for a number of other stocks right now, including […]
One of the more obscure asset classes got a big boost a number of years ago when the big institutional investors, particularly the ivy league endowment funds, started to emphasize it more, and when studies kept flowing about how this class has been one of the more perfect “diversifiers” for a portfolio: steady returns, not […]

Never does this get boring. Every time thing seem to run a little dry here at Gumshoe HQ, and the reservoir of hypetastic teasers dips a little bit below the intake pipe … well, the flood comes again, regular as the rains (if not quite as seasonal). That’s how it’s been for a thousand teaser […]
This teaser throws out hot-button political names to get us excited — and unlike many folks who stick to provoking investor ire by only mentioning liberal democrats, they make sure to offer equal opportunity in poking those hot buttons … “Dozens of DC Elite, from Mitt Romney to Nancy Pelosi to Ron Paul Are Earning […]
OK, you can stop asking now — because we’re just about to finish up with our latest multi-part series, covering the “loopholes” from the “Black Market Income” teaser for Stansberry’s 12% Letter. This letter pitches the idea that they have a secret website that “Wall Street” doesn’t want you to see — all about how […]
Well, I told you yesterday that I’d be following up on the teaser from 12% Letter for their “Black Market Income” website that presents a variety of ways of increasing your investment income … so let’s do it! If you missed yesterday, I gave a quick run-through of several of the “loopholes” that Dan Ferris […]
A couple variations on this teaser about “black market income” have been rolling around the marketplace for months now — the actual investments are still relatively normal, mainstream-ish companies and strategies, just as they were when the 12% Letter called parts of this “black market income” strategy by other names, which is why I haven’t […]
This email started churning through the Gumshoe floodgates recently, a tease for Zachary Scheidt’s New Growth Investor, which we last looked at a couple months ago — the marketing for this letter says that they look for “stocks with bright futures ahead or a company with a new product set for maximum gains.” Which sounds […]
This time around I thought I’d get into some more detail for you on a stock I’ve written about before, and which I own personally — but I think it’s underappreciated given its potential for inflation protection and dividend growth. April’s Idea of the Month is shares of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp (ROIC). That ROIC […]

The Cabot folks have apparently taken a liking to the “double your money this year” promise as their version of a “money back guarantee” — no, they don’t make up the difference, but they promise you a refund if the pick doesn’t double. A better deal than most newsletters as far as refund policy goes […]
Today, dearest Irregulars, I’ve been a bit thwarted in my efforts to find new and intriguing investment ideas for you — that is, I’ve found some, certainly (they’re always out there), but they haven’t matched the template for what I generally like to share with my favorite readers (yes, that’s you). The first one I […]
I left out the little asterisk in that headline — we’re also told that “your payment could be higher or lower than $4,000.” Which means, of course, that it could be zero … but still, let’s look into this odd headline and the teaser that follows it, and see if we can’t sniff out just […]
Today’s teaser ad comes in from Nathan Slaughter, who’s trying to entice us to subscribe to his Scarcity & Real Wealth newsletter, a new offering from the StreetAuthority folks that’s focused, as you can probably guess, on investing in mining, energy and commodities. And though the ad has been running for about two weeks as […]
Mike Williams, who edits the True Income newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, has been trying to get new subscribers by promising to reveal the secrets of the “32% clause” that can pay you a huge annual income stream. So what on earth is he talking about? Here’s how the ad begins: “Introducing: A completely legal […]
