Several readers have recently sent in questions about a recent teaser ad from Big Gold, the “entry level” resource investing newsletter from Doug Casey’s newsletter stable … they’re pitching the idea of “Golden Tollbooths” that they think represent one of the best business models in the world, and though they hint around about a couple […]

We’ve looked at a lot of Jim Rickards ads over the past couple of years, most of which either promise rapid-fire profits from currency options or predict huge gains for gold and, perhaps, a return to gold-backed money… today’s pitch is another one of the latter, it’s an ad for Rickards’ Strategic Intelligence. The hook […]
This story has been making the rounds for quite a while — and in different versions, I’ve written about essentially this same pitch before … but it’s been years since it really hit the Gumshoe radar, and folks keep asking, so I thought I’d check out this latest version of the ad for you. The […]
I’ve got a few Real Money Portfolio updates for you today, but first I wanted to check in on a teaser that a few folks have asked about… Dr. Stephen Leeb is a familiar name in newsletterdom, he has been helming newsletters from a variety of publishers for decades, and it seems he has again […]
Yesterday I started looking into the latest James Rickards ad, a gold-related spiel for his Strategic Investment newsletter, and today we’re going to close the loop on that and get a couple more names for you. The full article from yesterday is here, if you’re curious about this whole notion of “Reagan Gold” and the […]
Several folks have been asking about the latest teaser pitch from Stansberry Gold & Silver Investor, and the header of that ad pretty much tells you why: “Urgent ‘Gold Trigger’ Buy Alert From Stansberry Gold & Silver Investor: “The last time this “Gold Trigger” alert appeared, it made investors 123% in a single day.” That’s […]
Frank Curzio is pretty close to my age, I think, but has been a newsletter guy for decades — his dad was a newsletter writer, well-known mostly because he accurately predicted the 1987 crash (presumably in his F.X.C. Newsletter) and got pretty consistent attention from the press for a while because of that, and Frank […]
I was going to hold off on writing about this teaser until Friday and cover it just for the Irregulars in the Friday File because it’s a tiny stock and I’ll very likely be influencing the price by writing about it for this larger group today — but I’ve gotten so many questions in just […]
Now that Matt Badiali’s S&A Oil Report has renamed itself the S&A Resource Report, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he’s looking not just at the energy companies that have been a big part of his focus over the past several years, but at gold. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of his ad that […]
Today I’m looking at a gold stock teaser that’s a few days old – but don’t worry, none of the stocks teased have so far entered the stratosphere, despite the fact that yesterday was supposedly the day by which we “must get on board now.” The teaser is for Monty Agarwal’s Million-Dollar Rapid Growth Portfolio, […]
I like Frank Curzio’s podcast (now called Wall Street Unplugged), and I generally find his way of thinking interesting, so after he was laid off by Porter Stansberry I was half hoping he’d go off on his own and build his own newsletter business from scratch (he edited Phase 1 Investor and Small Cap Specialist […]
Today we’re going back to the vault to open an older Friday File article up for everyone, since the ad I was writing about in December appears to again be circulating today. This one’s about a teaser that’s being foist upon the world by Bill pantaloon at Money Map about a “gold anomaly.” I have […]
Today we’ve broken the Friday File up into two parts for your convenience — part one is all about a couple high-dividend technology stocks that look appealing to me right now, including one I bought a bit more of recently, and this one’s about a teaser that’s being foist upon the world by Bill pantaloon […]
This is a teaser pitch that I covered for the Irregulars a few months ago, but several readers have asked me about it over the past day or two, so perhaps it’s making the rounds again — and I thought I’d share that teaser solution and my thoughts with the rest of the gang today. […]
This is the intro from the ad we’re considering today: “Jim Rickards: Halfway to heaven, in a location with life-threatening temperatures, a little-known company is about to unleash… “‘God’s Gold’ “15 TIMES the concentration of the average global gold mine, this deposit contains arguably the highest-grade gold on the planet. “And one company trading for […]
I’ve got a couple things to share with you for your Friday File cavalcade of fun today, including the answer to the latest Sovereign Society teaser that I think just started running yesterday — and of course, with gold getting everyone’s attention at these lofty prices, it’s a gold teaser. So on the topic of […]
Huh? Are the Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins going to suddenly become twice as valuable as the American Eagle silver coins? No, don’t worry, it’s not that simple and silver is still fungible, an ounce is an ounce is an ounce (well, a troy ounce, anyway). So what’s the idea of “Canadian silver” being somehow […]
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 […]
Lots to talk about today… we’ll start with a quick teaser solution, then move on to some big picture thoughts, updates on the changes in my portfolio (a couple small buys), and some other little updates and cogitations. The teaser comes from Mike Cintolo’s Cabot Growth Investor, which is just what it sounds like: a […]

Today we look into the teased “Gold-X” from Gerardo Del Real, who writes the Junior Mining Monthly newsletter and calls himself a “Texas gold expert” … his ad promises an easier way to get huge returns on little gold stocks while taking a lot less risk. “Gold-X” seems an odd name for a “secret” investing […]

We’re all growing more and more immune to hyperbole, I hope, but the combination of hype-filled newsletter pitches, shallow commentary from attention whores on CNBC, and clickbait headlines is enough to put you off investing in the market at all… how many times can you hear words like “collapse” and “beaten down” and “nightmare” applied […]
I’ve got a few Real Money Portfolio updates for you today, but first I wanted to check in on a teaser that a few folks have asked about… Dr. Stephen Leeb is a familiar name in newsletterdom, he has been helming newsletters from a variety of publishers for decades, and it seems he has again […]
“This rare private deal could score you up to 3,000% returns over time — or more!” That’s the attention-getting intro to the latest ad from Jim Rickards, who now has yet another paid newsletter service with Agora Financial — this one that he’s selling today is called Jim Rickards’ Private Dealflow, and it seems to […]
I know quite a few folks got to chatting about Bellicum (BLCM) following Ernie Tremblay’s overly heated pitch for the stock last week, covered in the Friday File a week ago… and, well, things so far are going as they often do: Overhype the ad, overpromise some dramatic results from a presentation that’s really much […]
We’ve got a veritable smorgasbord for you this week — first, a quick update on one of our Real Money Portfolio stocks, then I’ll take a very quick look at the “Seven Deals” teased by the new Rick Rule Alliance pitch by the Money Map folks, and, finally, I’ll dig into the little hints that […]
I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the “Cash from Gold” pitch out of Agora Financial that hints at how easy it is to get “instant income.” So that’s today’s focus for you, dear readers. The big push at the end of the ad is “Yes, I want to collect at least $1,500 per month […]
Before I get into some updates on my Real Money Portfolio, I’ve got a quick look at a teaser that several of you have asked about: Keith Schaefer’s pitch for his Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin about a “perfect business model” and “everything you want as an investor.” Here’s how Keith gets our mouths watering: […]
Sean Brodrick has a new ad out recruiting charter subscribers for his new Red-Hot Resource Millionaire newsletter ($2,500/yr), and in the ad he’s pitching a bunch of his favorite gold juniors. The questions are piling up here on the doorstep at Gumshoe HQ… so let’s see what we can find. As with most of these […]

Hello, merry Gumshoe-ers! I’m going to be on the road next week to attend two conferences, the Grant’s Interest Rate Observer conference in New York mid-week, and the MIT Sloan Conference on Friday — so I’ll be sharing some notes with you with my thoughts on what I hear at those confabs, with fingers crossed […]
I’ve got one little teaser to look at for you in your Friday File today, and then some quick updates on the companies in the real money portfolio I manage. The teaser pitch that several folks have asked about is the “Project Ironman” teaser from Marin Katusa, which he’s talking up as a “totally new […]
Gold and Silver and Hard Assets after Trump’s Inauguration…2017MAKE YOUR PORTFOLIO GREAT AGAIN ! This thread is a continuation of several threads posted previously by the author on gold and silver and hard asset investments. I am still a believer in hard assets. I also believe we are entering a period of inflation with continued dollar devaluation, higher interest rates, and a sluggish […]
Stock Gumshoe has already moved offices, and that was traumatic enough… but now my family is also moving to a home that isn’t quite done, so this week is going to be another nutty one. And for that reason, if no other, I’m pleased to be able to get a quick teaser answer out for […]
Each year I check in on every company that I own and cover for the Irregulars, even those where my opinion doesn’t change much from month to month (or even from year to year, in some cases)… but we’re going to do it a little differently this year. This is all part of what will […]
