HIMAXI have to start out by saying that I think these Gumshoe articles are great, & I don’t like putting people on the spot ( or people doing that to me), but I have a question to ask partly out of genuine curiosity, partly out of concern for my stock. Don’t take it as a […]

It’s a little unusual for me to be covering the same pundit and the same newsletter for two days in a row, but, well, sometimes we’re unusual people here at Stock Gumshoe. And when readers clamor for answers, we aim to provide. So today’s pitch, like yesterday’s, is from Eric Wade at Stansberry — we […]
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: Dr. KSS writes about medicine and biotech stocks for the Irregulars. He has agreed to our trading restrictions, chooses his own topics, and his words and opinions are his own. All of his past articles and most recent comments are on his Stock Gumshoe page.] Ho ho ho! And Happy Christmas to all […]
[Ed. Note: Dr. KSS writes about medicine and biotech stocks for the Irregulars. He has agreed to our trading restrictions, and his words and opinions are his own. You can find his bio and his past articles on his Stock Gumshoe page.] “The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and […]
Dave Forest has updated his pitch about the “Bitcoin Key” to include some hype about a mysterious factory in the desert, including some aerial photos, so although he’s still teasing the same stocks he was with the first version of this ad back in October, we’re re-posting it with a few updates to help new […]
The Motley Fool gets more coverage here at Stock Gumshoe than pretty much any other newsletter publisher, with the possible exception of Stansberry — partly because the Fool has had some very good picks over the years, and partly because they have one of the biggest email lists around and they push a lot of […]
The latest “ADC” pitch from Michael Robinson has generated a lot of questions from readers this week, and the ad itself seems to be pretty much a carbon copy of the one sent out back in December… so we’re just re-posting this teaser solution for you. What follows is unchanged from when it first appeared […]
The “Idea of the Month” for May, which is fast coming to a close, is automotive electronics — and I think we have two interesting options that I’m interested in buying (I don’t own either right now). First is Visteon (VC), an idea which has been kicked around in value investing and “special situations” circles […]
It looks like our longtime favorite MEMS company, Invensense (INVN), which I continually wish I had bought on the many times it has dipped to $20 or below, is indeed finally an Apple iPhone supplier. Business has otherwise not been fantastic for INVN as some of their big customers, notably Nintendo, have scaled back in […]
We haven’t looked into a Motley Fool teaser pitch for a while, so let’s all settle down in our desks and get out our pencils — we’ve got a long one to look at today, and it’s all about the kind of “rule breaking” company and technology that David Gardner, founding Fool brother from their […]
You’ve almost certainly seen these ads from Paul Mampilly, the ones that start with the headline “These Warehouses Hold the Key to a $3.1 Trillion Dollar Revolution…” The ad has been running since at least the Summer of 2018, and has not really been updated at all in the interim as far as I can […]
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 […]
Here’s a little excerpt from the order form that accompanies Michael Robinson’s latest teaser pitch for Digital Fortunes ($99 first year, renews at $199, 30-day refund period), which is another of the newsletters he inherited from Louis Basenese last year: “For the first time in nearly 200 years, railroad history is about to repeat itself… […]
We’ve seen quite a few ads from Jim Pearce at Personal Finance about his favorite “self driving cars” idea, so it’s time to feed the Thinkolator and get some answers for you, dear Gumshoe readers. The basic backdrop for this is, of course, pretty well known — cars are becoming smarter and smarter, self-driving cars […]
I love the mysterious references to “alien minerals” and “secret compounds” that we sometimes see in teaser ads, and the latest pitch from Trend Trader Daily jumps right out with that in the headline: “50,000 Year-Old ‘Alien Mineral’ Could Hold the Key to Unlocking a $7 Trillion Market” Followed, of course, by the required “one […]
David Gardner has touted and teased many stocks for both his Rule Breakers and his Stock Advisor services — probably, in fact, we’ve covered more Motley Fool teaser ads here at Stock Gumshoe than we have any other publisher (and according to the quick calculations of one of our readers, they’ve had more winners than […]
Happy Friday! I have a couple updates and notes for you today, but I thought I’d start with a look at a new teaser many of you have been asking about from Michael Robinson, it’s headlined “Cognitive Sight” and it’s really about artificial intelligence and it’s ability to make the blind see again (among many […]
Seems like I’m seeing a lot more of David Gardner over the last month than I had for ages — he’s the growth-focused half of the Motley Fool brothers, and this time around the pitch is for his “aggressive growth” newsletter Rule Breakers. This letter has brought us a lot of interesting ideas in the […]
Invensense (INVN), which in January I noted was a reasonable buy up to $20 or so but not one to load up on right before earnings (which were two weeks ago), reported pretty tepid earnings and forecast no immediate skyrocketing growth this year … that helped to keep a lid on the stock, down under […]
This article was originally published on December 1, 2020, but we’re seeing new versions with different headlines and that “March 2021” deadline, so we’re re-publishing our comments below. What follows has not been updated or revised in the past month. Lou Basenese is pitching Elon Musk’s next big idea in ads for his Trend Trader […]
James West is promising a new “Sky-Fi” technology using reusable rockets (a la Musk) and the FCC’s new approval for 1 million new Starlink Antennæ. He says it will make 5G obsolete as early as this January. He’s teasing 4 new stocks that go with it. Any ideas? Tease Site: https://secure.wealthpress.com/sf/jy_disruptor/?step=vsl
We’re now a month past the “bottom” that the market hit on March 23 in the heat of the panic, and although the world is thinking about opening up now and throwing ever more “rescue” money from helicopters, we’re still not all that close to predicting when “back to normal” might hit… and just now […]
I listened to a sales pitch last night for over 1 hour that was geared to Paul Mampilly’s Banyan Hill suckers and was waiting for the 3 stocks that would pay returns of at least 100x or better , what I got at the end was an opportunity to sign up for the service for […]
You’ve almost certainly seen these ads from Paul Mampilly, the ones that start with the headline “These Warehouses Hold the Key to a $3.1 Trillion Dollar Revolution…” The ad has been running since at least the Summer of 2018, and has not really been updated at all in the interim as far as I can […]
A version of this article was published on January 13, 2020, when Mampilly’s ads first called this his “#1 Stock for 2020”, and though the ad is unchanged we’re seeing it a lot again now — most recently, the ads from Banyan Hill now say that this “$10 Stock Gets ‘All In’ Buy Alert on […]
This ad has been running for a week or so, since Crowdability hosted their “special presentation” to make the original pitch on October 23, and readers have been peppering me with questions… which makes sense, the idea of a “single stock retirement plan” is very compelling (Oxford Club has used it to pitch a different […]
This article was originally published on Halloween, 2018, but we’re getting a ton of new questions about it so they must be running the ad heavily again. The ad has NOT been updated in any meaningful way, but some significant things have changed for this stock over the past year (though the stock price is […]
An earlier version of this article was published on January 30, 2019 — at the time, this was teased as an “inconspicuous $20 stock” that would create one-stock millionaires beginning on February 15. Now, a very similar ad with slight updates is circulating promising “one stock millionaire” status from an “unheard-of tech stock” that can […]
I have to start out by saying that I think these Gumshoe articles are great, & I don’t like putting people on the spot ( or people doing that to me), but I have a question to ask partly out of genuine curiosity, partly out of concern for my stock. Don’t take it as a […]
I have just sat through a 45 min infomercial pitch from Paul Mampilly about a coming “37 trillion ( naturally) tech boom which involves the simultaneous arrival at “ acceptance “ stage of 3 technologies which will of course make us all much richer than if we had invested in Amazon or Microsoft when they […]
We see “Amazon can’t beat this one” ads every now and again for retailers — that was part of Oxford Club’s push for Planet Fitness earlier this week, for example — but this one is generating quite a few questions… and I haven’t written about one of Hilary Kramer’s ads for a while, so it […]
Here’s your assigned reading for the week: Go check out Stop the financial pornography! from Nick Maggiulli. A good reminder of how manipulated we all can be by attention-getting investment and economic news that doesn’t really have any relevance. Don’t worry, it’s short. So… what’s up this week? Leading the news for me, outside of […]
We tend to get a lot of questions when there’s a new Paul Mampilly ad pounding the pavement, presumably because Banyan Hill tries so hard to reach pretty much everyone who has a pulse and an email address (with the latter being far more important than the former), so we’ll jump in on this Monday […]
Paul Mampilly’s huge marketing machine at Banyan Hill tends to drive a lot of questions our way, and this latest one about a medical marijuana stock caught my eye… but I should warn you up front that it’s a teaser ad that’s very light on clues… today we’re going to have to do some guessing. […]
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, […]
Is this the beginning of a 30-60% decline in the stock market? A correction to blow off a little of the excess in the valuations of growth stocks that’s almost over? Something in between? Nobody knows, and it would be silly to spend too much time guessing. We should be prepared for either — which […]
But what if you could buy one tiny stock today for $10 that is at the center of a growing tech industry experts believe will explode a massive 77,400%? Wall Street legend Paul Mampilly recently identified this Stock of the Century. It is issued by a little-known company he predicts will become the main “chipmaker” […]
Paul Mamipally is teasing this stock that will revolutionize technology by interconnecting machines, cell phones etc. I’ve been looking to see what it is he’s pitching here. I can understand that this could be a huge thing. With these small chips allowing all kinds of devices to communicate with each other…. So what is the […]
with a return of over 200,000 a year. It sounds like he’s giving recommendation a month. I’m still waiting for STM to takeoff.
