This past year of writing for the Gumshoe faithful has been a wonderful one for me, but not so much for the returns of the stocks that I singled out for extra attention here for the loyal Stock Gumshoe Irregulars. As I’ve noted before, starting this additional little service for my contributors has served mostly, […]
Most of the time I write about the investment newsletter business — the pundits who sell their expertise, the copywriters who make the mundane seem otherworldly, and the outrageous promises and teases that the publishers use to convince us to subscribe to newsletters that proffer investment research and stock tips. But it’s worth noting that […]
Between Both Korea, Syria, and Iran what are the best plays for the defense sector? Thanks Travis
The second day of the Value Investing Congress resulted in mostly headlines about David Einhorn shorting Chipotle (CWG), since that was the only thing he shared that seemed new and sexy, but he and several other presenters also shared some interesting thoughts that stood out for me about a few of the victims/villains of the […]
Today we’re due for our “Idea of the Month” pick — but I also should quickly let you know that I personally added some more to my Lancashire Holdings position this week when it tripped a buy order that had been in place for a while. I wrote more about Lancashire in my insurance-themed “idea […]

[ed. note: Michael Jorrin, who I dubbed “Doc Gumshoe” years ago, writes for us a couple times a month on medicine and health issues. He is not a physician, but explains the science and the data well, and helps provide some background understanding and perspective that often benefits both investors and folks who are attentive […]
Billionaire trader says “half the U.S. energy industry will be bankrupt in 6 months” Dear Reader, At this moment, oil is caught in an absolute death spiral. And a handful of billionaires are quietly dumping oil stocks at an alarming clip… This mass exodus comes alongside oil’s fall to an 11-year low, dipping below $35 […]
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 […]
For those of you who haven’t been with the Gumshoe since day one, you’ll probably notice that there are a lot of these teaser emails that come up again, and again, and again. Sometimes the email changes a little bit, sometimes they just update the stock prices in the teasers, sometimes there’s a new hook […]

I often get questions from readers about my personal portfolio, and how I weight or invest in things and what kinds of options or mutual funds I own, since I don’t typically write about option or fund positions or keep an updated list of those positions on my portfolio page (which is just the list, […]
How could I resist this tease? I’m the guy, after all, who needs to stir his little grey cells to recall the name of that beautiful shrub growing at the northeast corner of our house. Eureka, I’ve got it! – it’s called viburnum. I’ve always attributed my lapses in memory to the […]
[ed. note: Michael Jorrin, who I call Doc Gumshoe, is a longtime medical writer (not a doctor) who writes for us about medicine and health a couple times a month. He has agreed to our trading and disclosure restrictions, but does not generally write directly about investment ideas. His ideas, thoughts and words are his […]
“CRISPR” is the word in the headline that signals that the piece is going to be about gene editing. Doc Gumshoe did not want to put that word – actually, it’s not really a word, but an acronym – in the title of this piece because gene editing is a whole lot more than […]
Here is a solid American stock to dream of and get rich within a year. I followed my rule of selling after a 30% profit and missed out on a huge return. Hey! A profit is a profit nevertheless. The WORKHORSE GROUP INC. (WKHS) Div yield – Prev close 28.03 52-wk high 30.88 52-wk low […]
[ed. note: Michael Jorrin is a longtime medical writer (not a doctor), I’ve dubbed him “Doc Gumshoe” for his coverage of medical and health topics for Stock Gumshoe. This piece, like most of Michael’s work, is not specifically investment-related — but for those who think about speculating in the next Zika cure or similar “hot […]

This one came in recently from Stansberry and Associates, it’s an ad for the S&A Penny Letter from Dan Ferris, who also does the Extreme Value letter. This newsletter focuses on what they call “Penny Stocks,” though personally I think they’ve got a pretty liberal definition of that term. They say they are looking for […]
The following was submitted by loyal Gumshoe reader and Irregular Streetsifter, who has solved and written up a few for us before. Your friendly Gumshoe has done almost no editing, so this is Streetsifter’s work through and through … thanks! Using their words, a “measly dollar” will buy you the solution to the two matching […]
Gold remains one of the most discussed investment themes of the year, with the price of the yellow metal bumping up and down between $900 and $1,000 an ounce — and I hold some gold and some gold mining stocks as well, but it is, in any decent economy, a terrible investment. I consider holding […]
I’ve had quite a number of folks write in and ask about Hilary Kramer’s predictions for 2011 — she’s bullishly yelling about buying stocks in her ads right now, and pitching several “super stocks” for 2011 that you should buy before Christmas and, naturally, we’d like to know what they are, yes? This is how […]
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 […]
Louis Navellier is never shy about making promises — here’s how his latest ad for his Blue Chip Growth newsletter opens: “Why a tiny office in suburban Israel is our best bet — for repelling the attack — and turning a $7,500 investment into $22,500 by May 2012. “I don’t make this prediction lightly… you […]
Byron King is pitching another teensy weensy rare metals stock for his Energy & Scarcity Investor newsletter from Agora, only this time it’s not the rare earth metals but a really light metal that he calls the “Fourth Element.” Which brings to mind several of the periodic table-focused teasers of years past, though particularly the […]
That headline comes straight from the top of the latest teaser ad I’m looking at now — from George Leong of the Profit Confidential/Lombardi gang, in a pitch for his Pennies to Millions newsletter. I can’t say that I’ve heard of this letter, which might be new (like most publishers, they trot out new letter […]
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 […]
Well, a week’s hiatus for your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe and the world remains in more or less the same mostly-negative feedback loop — more bank worries, more Euro panic, gold prices back above $1,900 again, more iPhone 5 hints and speculation … I guess part of me is relieved that the financial world is […]
Your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is still working feverishly on the new and improved StockGumshoe.com that we hope to be introducing in the weeks to come, so today we’re sharing an older article that originally appeared in the Irregulars-only Friday File. I’ve shortened the article to remove some of my blather, but it has not been […]
These are the kind of teaser ads that always bring a smile to my face — top secret technology from “rogue” scientists, unknown breakthroughs that will change the face of the world and make us rich, that’s what teaser-land is all about! And certainly Nick Hodge knows that — all the publishers use the same […]
Here’s the pitch that a bunch of readers sent me this week: “On June 28, 2011, a tiny Sunnyvale, CA based technology company, quietly made an incredible announcement. “In short, they’ve developed a new static random-access memory (“SRAM” for short) chip that drastically boosts online processing speeds. “Simply put, these chips are the fastest on […]
I haven’t sniffed out a HIlary Kramer teaser for a while, and lots of folks have been sending me the latest of her hypetastic ads, so I thought I’d dig into the one that sounded most compelling to me. The ad is for her GameChangers newsletter which, sort of in the mold of the Motley […]
Christian DeHaemer has made quite a career out of picking somewhat controversial resource companies with tiny market caps in war-torn or politically unstable or distasteful areas of the world — and since two of them that he has teased in the past, Petro Matad in Mongolia and Dragon Oil in Turkmenistan, have done very very […]

It’s been a little while since we dug into an Oxford Club promo, so this latest one that uses the eventual Facebook IPO as a hook caught my attention … in exchange for signing up for a membership in this particular club, they say you’ll “learn everything about making money from the ‘Facebook Effect.’” No, […]
Several options trade recommendations per month, self-described as “conservative options for aggressive income.”
Remember geothermal stocks? I was just thinking about doing some reconsidering of these once hot, now ice cold investments as a somewhat contrarian idea … and then this teaser dropped into my lap to urge me to look at one of them in particular. The pitch is from the Angel Publishing folks, with the letter […]
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 […]
