EnergyAfter watching the Senate today on there 59- 41 wait till next years vote, I still think it will get more than it needs and would not doubt that they get the magic number so Obama’s veto can’t happen, but a lot can happen and they just gave the middle east more time on the […]
As the stock market continues on its spiral downwards, drowning investors in the sea of despair forecast over the past year by Stansberry, Stockman and other pessimistic stock advisory writers, we constantly look for something to give credence to the old adage “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” The problem is how? […]
These are my notes and instant reactions from a presentation at the Value Investing Congress, the notes below might contain errors, paraphrases, incorrect quotes, or misinterpretations. Arnaud Ajdler runs a new special situations hedge fund called Engine Capital (he’s been at Crescendo for a decade and is an experienced activist investor, but moved to start […]
I don’t want to give you too much to read, since probably the most interesting reading this weekend will be Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders (which should be posted here as part of Berkshire’s Annual Report, around 8am EST tomorrow), but I do have a quick teaser answer to share with you… and a […]
I don’t have a single idea that makes me want to jump up and down this month — I’ve been trickling more money into Pershing Square Holdings (PSH.AS, PSHZF) and Tekla Healthcare (THQ) as well as more boring broad index funds and such, and have been tempted by some other investments, but nothing jumps out […]
I might have missed it but, Travis or any irregulars that might have the scoop on the octopus technology teaser for oil drilling, we had the waterless fracking and some other techniques, it seems every drilling contractor has there preference or is it what they can afford for that part of the drilling phase but […]
Dear Reader, Today I rip the cover off my company’s secret weapon. I call him the “reluctant millionaire maker.” Talk about operating undercover. This guy’s living it. He craves privacy… he’s been lying low for the past decade… yet his Wikipedia page has 47 footnotes. What gives? For a long time, he has run in […]
There are a few things I want to share with you this week — I’ll update you on a few purchases I made for my personal account, including several add-ons to existing positions and one new purchase, I’ll give you my quick take on my (finally) updated tracking spreadsheets for this year, and I’ll check […]
[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 […]

I shared a brief Trade Note yesterday about the sale of part of my position in Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), and I promised to go much more in depth in my thinking today… so strap yourself in. (And if you don’t care about IIPR at all or aren’t interested in “bear attacks”, you can skip […]
I’m REALLY new at this, so pardon if this is a dumb question …….regarding CPT Coalspur. I heard Ridley Island port, Prince Rupert is getting another influx of cAsh for expansion. Me thinks, it might be getting ready for the coal from Coalspur, 2016. The stock has been beaten of late not sure why cause […]
Market timing and seasonal timing newsletter, with portfolios of stocks and ETFs.
Investment advisory focusing on technology trends, they say they’re looking for “growth and income from the utility stocks of the future.”
The latest ad from Louis Navellier for his Growth Investor newsletter is a doozy… full of images of Louis Navellier driving his midlife crisis Porsche supercar around and showing off the red “turbo” button, with that serving as a “you’re too dumb to get it otherwise” metaphor for the tremendous potential of 5G wireless. We […]
I didn’t quite finish looking into the Charles Mizrahi pitch for his 8-Figure Fortunes newsletter ($1,495/yr) yesterday, so I thought we’d get into that for a moment as a little bonus (don’t worry, the Friday File is coming later today, too)… … in addition to his “number one small cap oil stock” that was the […]
The guys from COMPOUND Capital presented at the last Congress too, and they have had some interesting ideas — they have two stocks to share today. They look for recurring revenue, owner operators, balance sheet slack and limited leverage, undervalued companies or confusing situations. They like names that don’t screen well and have limited analyst […]
Comments from Motley Fool 9/7/13: ”But there’s one rather surprising (and highly lucrative) secret you probably haven’t heard about these new iPhones… and as this eye-opening investor exposé reveals this strange-but-true fact could help smart investors like you make a small fortune — but only if you get all the details and act now!” Anyone […]
The Resveratrol Bust Disappointing, but unsurprising, I say. At this point I’m willing to stake my bet that the wonderful promise of resveratrol isn’t going to pan out. What’s resveratrol? Let’s take a little journey back in our time machine About Resveratrol It goes back at least 70 years, to the discovery by Japanese investigators […]
This particular ad hasn’t actually been completely lambasting my inbox this week, which is a surprise since the “cure for obesity” stocks usually gin up quite a bit of interest — being overweight is, after all, the plague of our time of overabundance and the cause of so many of our ills, both social and […]
“This is the only company in the online higher education industry that’s creating a win-win for everyone. Which means it’s the only one with long-term staying power. The sad truth is, most online colleges exist for one simple purpose. To suck away federal loan dollars from Uncle Sam. These “diploma mills” don’t even care whether […]
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 […]
Please reveal Larry Edelson’s 3 millionaire maker gold stocks,.I am one of your favorate people,
The Motley Fool folks have been sending around a promo email that teases a “Project Purple” stock that they think will “dominate the hundred-screen future” — it’s all about the proliferation of screens in our lives, and the incredible advances made by one “secret” company. And yes, I know that some of you will have […]
Ed. note: Here is the third article from longtime reader Myron Martin. Again, we’d love to hear what you think of this feature in the comments section. Myron has agreed to our trading restrictions (he won’t trade the stocks he mentions for three days), but we have not reviewed, approved or screened his stocks or […]
[Ed note: if you’re new to Doc Gumshoe, this is our break from investment chatter: He’s our favorite medical writer and he shares his contrarian and thoughtful commentaries with us every now and again. Any opinions and assertions are his own.] It all starts with an unassailable truth: the healthier you are to start with, […]
Keith Fitz-Gerald and the folks at the Money Map Report are pitching something they call “Super Dividends” — payments that dwarf the typical dividend and that they say are even distinct from “special dividends.” But not content to promise big returns ($16,559 as soon as June 28, they say), they also claim that they can […]
“Yesterday, I sent you an urgent briefing regarding China’s dangerous “Internet Army.” This situation is already moving fast. “The small tech company critical to crushing China’s attacks just won another contract for an undisclosed “data center”… its third multimillion-dollar contract in less than a month. “This is quickly turning into exactly the kind of win-win […]
OK, OK, the questions on this one are getting a bit overwhelming — and I’m afraid that if I don’t cover this one soon the villagers will soon be gathering their fiery torches and marching on Castle Gumshoe … so here goes. Louis Basenese and the folks at Wall Street Daily are pitching his MicroCap […]
“On August 1st, This Once Iconic American Retailer Will Stun Shareholders” That’s how the latest teaser ad from Harry Dent gets us interested — Dent has been around for a long time, and his predictions and books and newsletters have usually had their basis in demographics … stuff like predicting that the market would boom […]
Well, well, well — another month, another Phase 1 teaser from Frank Curzio and the Stansberry folks. And if you’re going to use your massive mailing list of a few million investors to sell a $3,000 newsletter that most of them won’t ever consider, well, you can pretty much predict that the queries will make […]
As I typically do after attending the Value Investing Congress, I’m selecting one of my favorite ideas from the conference to share with you as our next “Idea of the Month.” The selection process was a little tough this time, because there were several picks that I found pretty compelling — a couple specialty insurance […]
Irregulars may remember that HRT Participacoes (HRP on the Venture Exchange in Canada, HRTPY on the pink sheets) is a bet largely on Namibian offshore oil exploration — the Namibian exploration they’re doing has been teased for a couple years by Byron King, though the teasers previously pointed toward the junior explorer that HRT bought, […]
OK, OK — the most asked-about teaser ad this week has been Karim Rahemtulla’s pitch about Cypriot natural gas for his newly launched newsletter … so although the clues are thin and the presentation was tiresome to listen to, your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is digging in. But it’s only because I love you. The new […]
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 […]
One thing all newsletter teaser ad copywriters know for sure is that controversy gets attention. You can predict the continuing slow decline of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency … or you can predict the END OF AMERICA. And you can predict that the federal government will issue new regulations on hydrofracturing after […]
