I love this story… it brings to mind the Indiana Jones-style teaser pitches about top-secret mineral riches in strange places that were so prevalent a decade ago in newsletterland… here’s a little taste: “This Secret Research Complex… “Hidden Away in a Small Town in Australia… “Is About to Reveal a “$66 Billion Breakthrough…” Wow, so […]

This week there’s been quite a bit of news in stocks that I follow fairly closely or own or have featured in the past as “Idea of the Month” candidates for the irregulars, so I do have a bit of a teaser campaign to talk to you about (that’s the Casey bit), but I’m going […]
We’ve got a new pitch from Jason Stutman’s Techology & Opportunity to take a gander at, and it’s another of those “three parters” that pitches a few different stocks as a play on a theme… so I’m going to try to be economical with the verbiage and get to all of ’em before you lose […]
This particular ad, or one very much like it with a few edits, has been running for about six weeks — it’s a pitch to get you to subscribe to Global Investment Strategist from Yiannis Mostrous ($497, thanks very much), and it’s all about a key Apple (AAPL) supplier. Which has been a hot investing […]
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 […]
This latest pitch from Keith Kohl and the Angel Publishing folks, for the Oil & Gas Trader newsletter, is all about a rare element that’s mined in relatively few places, and which they say is both threatened by ISIS and about to make a small mining company wealthy (and us, of course, since we’ll no […]
The article excerpted below was originally published here on August 6 as a Friday File for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars. It has not been updated, though the stock is up roughly 10% from that time. (For disclosure, I continue to be interested in the stock, but I haven’t bought the shares and continue to have […]
I don’t usually write about the same editor twice in one week, but in a land where ads like this hit my mailbox every day I can’t have any hard and fast rules along those lines … and I couldn’t resist taking a look at this latest ad from Chris Mayer, and again it’s for […]
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 […]
Michael Robinson has been pitching “Living Metal” again recently, as an add-on to some of his ads for Nova-X Report over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d take another look at it for you. This is no longer the centerpiece of any promo campaigns that I can see, it was mentioned late in […]
I’ve been saving this one for the Friday File, since it’s one of several similar stocks I’ve been thinking about for my own account — though I haven’t invested in the company as of now (and won’t for at least three days, per my rules). The teaser came from the same ad as the SVB […]
Happy New Year to the best readers in cyberspace! I hope your 2019 is fabulous… and that you don’t have too many heart palpitations following the last couple weeks of market and political brinksmanship. I haven’t written to you in a while, thanks to my much-appreciated time away with family and friends in the mountains, […]
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’ve had Mongolia on the brain this week, and would love to point you to some exciting investments in that (possibly) emerging commodity powerhouse — this has been a hot story of exploration and potential for at least five years, with periodic chatter about Canadian or Chinese companies who are making exploration inroads … … […]
This Halloween, I think I’d like to dress up as an otter. Seriously, don’t otters always look like they’re having more fun than most animals? all that sliding, and laying on your back supping on sea anemones … aaaahhh, much more relaxing than watching CNBC. Otter Tail (OTTR), however, has not been having fun. At […]
This month’s idea is plain and boring, at least until you look under the hood a little bit. It’s a small cap (but not too small) that is profitable, with a very diversified group of customers and a >yawn< boring suite of products (at least, for those of us who aren't electrical engineers). But they're […]

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 […]
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 […]
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.

Since there was such a spirited discussion following our look at the “treasure map” of hoarders who can sell you bags of “treasure”, this latest teaser from Nicholas Vardy also caught my eye. Why? Well, because that “treasure map” bit was all about junk silver (old circulating silver currency), and the discussion was largely of […]
Yes, there are a few boom towns out there. And if you buy the right apartment owner, you might be able to profit from their growth while enjoying the income that owning real estate can provide. Today I want to share with you some thoughts on a Real Estate Investment Trust that is also, in […]

Today we come back once again to our old friend Louis Navellier — largely because he’s pitching something that my readers ask me about all the time, a way to get a decent income yield from a mining stock (most of which, despite all the teasers about gold stocks that pay dividends, have tiny yields […]
Today’s tease has been forwarded by a handful (or a few hands full, I suppose) of curious readers — our teaser is Mitchell Clark for his Penny Stock Reporter, and in exchange for his special recommendation of a Chinese copper stock he’d like you to sign up for a subscription to his newsletter … at […]
One of the ideas that I’ve been coming back to again and again is infrastructure — not necessarily just the kind of physical infrastructure that I talked about last month with Ferrovial, or things like power and highways and pipelines, but the basic kind of underlying businesses that keep other businesses operating. And in the […]

I originally wrote about “Silver Shots” as teased by Zachary Scheidt for his Velocity Trader about a year and a half ago, but much has changed over that time and an extremely similar ad is running right now, so I thought I should give it another look. Here’s how the teaser sounds: “Silver Hits Critical […]

Here’s how the headline reads for this latest teaser from the Taipan folks, for Zachary Scheidt’s New Growth Investor: “Urgent Gold Investing Alert: “President Obama Wants to Confiscate Your Gold “Buried deep inside the healthcare reform bill is a law that could set the stage for the federal government to take away ALL your gold.

We’re living in a bipolar world these days, it appears — I continue to get hundreds of email promos forwarded to me every day (thanks for that, by the way — the Gumshoe doesn’t work without fuel!), but these days the most ardent requests are those for either microcap gold or rare earth miners/explorers, or […]
[The “Mainz” Teaser Term has been used several times, click here for the most recent articles] Today it’s finally time to get around to what has probably been the most-requested teaser ad of the last few weeks — if you haven’t seen it, it comes in under several different headlines all comparing this “Mainz” income […]

I don’t write about Mark Skousen all that often, in part because he doesn’t regularly barrage us with detailed stock teasers … but I’ve had a lot of readers write in to ask me about this latest teaser ad for his Forecasts and Strategies newsletter, an ad in which he says his favorite stock kept […]
Today I thought we’d take a look at an issue Robert Hsu has been pushing pretty hard for about a week: Coal. The latest twist to the story is the huge traffic jam that everyone has been talking about, the massive tie-up of (mostly) coal trucks trying to get into Beijing from Inner Mongolia, which […]
