Wow! You guyz and galz are incredible :-)Travis- I so much appreciate and enjoy you and the exceptional irregular-shoes here. I have several thoughts/ideas I’d like share: Have you ever considered: 1. A ”Beyond the decimal” (sub penny) and/or pre- and after-market discussion area(s)? 2. An investor tools link area i.e. finvis, barchart, bloomberg, otcmarkets, zacks etc, not only for links but […]

I’ve got several teaser pitches percolating right now, but this one quickly rose to the top after a couple readers sent it to me this morning. Why? Not because I’m all that excited about the stock (it shouldn’t be a public company, frankly), but because the promises of absurd returns are so specific and over-the-top […]
Ok, this is definitely the “most requested” ad over the last 24 hours — I can’t tell you how many folks have asked your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe to look into “Living Metal,” but the list is getting loooong. And we are, of course, happy to oblige. The pitch is from Michael Robinson for his Radical […]
Gold looks to be headed higher even with a strong dollar so what are the best ways to play the next bull run in gold? I know Travis has (SAND) in his portfolio but I’d like to know his thoughts as well as yours. Do long term call options make sense for more leverage? I’d […]
Real-money portfolio of Martin Weiss’ million dollars, previously managed by Claus Vogt, promises to alert you 48 hours before trades are made, with monthly update newsletter and phone helpline.
This article originally ran on January 8, 2013. It has not been updated save for the addition of this brief introductory note. More recent ad pitches on this same topic that say the stock and ticker have been “hacked” probably refer to our coverage of the story, but the more recent ads do not appear […]
This pitch has been circulating for about six months, but has been updated with a new headline and “deadline” — instead of the big news coming on July 27 or October 27, which was the pitch earlier in the year, the date is now February 2, 2023. The company did report strong earnings in July […]
This article was first published on April 27, 2021 — the Motley Fool is again pushing the story heavily in its ads here in early 2022, so we’re re-posting it here for your information. The future expectations for the “secret” company, and the valuation, are very similar to what they were when these words were […]
I’ve gotten a bunch of reader questions over the last week or so about Alex Koyfman’s latest teaser pitch for a “Plastic Killer” out of Canada, so that’s where the Thinkolator is pointed today. The ad is for Angel Publishing’s Microcap Insider (currently being sold for $1,999, 90-day refund period), and this is the latest […]
Happy return from Thanksgiving! I come back to my Gumshoe friends well-rested, with an expanded waistline and a sudden need for daily afternoon naps… and, as will be no surprise to most of you, with an inbox full of money-making promises to review. Because every shift in the political winds must come with an investable […]
Time for another big-bluster teaser pitch from Nomi Prins, who’s selling her Rogue Strategic Trader ($1,500 for two years, no refunds) with a pitch for a “26 cent AI stock.” She didn’t make a transcript of her “AI Ultimatum” teaser pitch available just yet, so we’re left with clues gathered from the (interminable) presentation, as […]
MAKE 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 […]
This is the first ticker specific discussion…..if it works, there may be many others. The aim is to have a chronological knowledge diary. If your comment is about ANYTHING other than $ARTH…please DONT post it here. **Please note that this post has been closed to further comment. The discussion on ARTH has moved over to […]
Today I’ll try to keep my blather a little more limited than usual… I have one update on a stock that I bought recently, and a couple updates on our watchlist this week (that list always lingers down there at the bottom of the Real Money Portfolio, in case you’ve missed it). The update is […]
2017 was a year of tremendous accomplishment for Clean Teq Holdings in every respect. We saw remarkable achievements in mine construction, in finance, and in market development, with landmark contracts in every business segment; We saw a complex business appear as if by magic, including business offices on four continents, and the launch of business […]
This article was originally published on June 6, but the ad is running heavily again now as a “recession-proof stocks” pitch so we’re re-posting to answer reader questions. Neither the ad nor this article have been updated since early June. Whitney Tilson has rejoined the nuclear power parade, launching a new teaser pitch recently for […]
This article was first posted on July 24, 2024 — the ad is being driven by a new “NVIDIA’s Secret Royalty” intro this week, so we’re re-posting to answer reader questions. This article has not been updated or revised, but the teased stock is roughly unchanged. Here’s the language that caught our eye in the […]
A couple variations on this teaser about “black market income” have been rolling around the marketplace for months now — the actual investments are still relatively normal, mainstream-ish companies and strategies, just as they were when the 12% Letter called parts of this “black market income” strategy by other names, which is why I haven’t […]
James Altucher gives me a headache, but I guess that’s part of his brand as he uses his ‘wild and crazy entrepreneur who eschews convention but hobnobs with insiders’ image to sell his newsletters and books — for a while I felt like I was seeing his bobbing, wild-haired head in my dreams, trying to […]
The folks at Cabot are so often enthusiastic about great growth companies, often picking them and re-picking them as they soar higher, that they sometimes remind me of David Gardner and his Motley Fool Rule Breakers… and given their yen for growth, I imagine both probably are coming off of exceptional years with the explosion […]
Dr. David Eifrig is one of the Stansberry writer/editors, and for a couple of years now he has put out the Retirement Millionaire newsletter that seems to be largely focused on ways to get special perqs and discounts as a retireee … as well as a bit of financial commentary and ideas, I’m told (I […]
This latest teaser ad is all about owning a “piece of an idea” — owning something valuable that gets you royalty payments, or payment for the “rental” of that idea. It’s a little bit similar to the old “Mainz Income” royalties, which were teased as a way to get recurring income that (we were told) […]
I’ve been so overwhelmed with gold and silver teases, and have written about them so many times over the last couple weeks, that I was really prepared to jump on anything that looked a bit more like a “real” company (ie, not just a commodity play or a hyped-up junior miner) … so here comes […]
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, […]

Today I thought I’d finally take a look at the “warrior antibodies” teaser that’s been circulating for a few weeks now — I know a few of my readers have already figured this one out, but I continue to get questions about this tease every day. So … answers? The teaser is that there’s a […]
I always like to write about a bear case on a stock, or a put-buying or short-selling teaser, because they’re so rare — most people wouldn’t consider shorting stocks because of the different risk profile and the unfamiliar process, and many folks even think there’s something vaguely un-American about betting against a stock. And, of […]
You’ll be unsurprised to hear that the rise in gold this week has caused the copywriters to enter their frenzy stage — one half expects that there will be a run on replacement keyboards as these eager souls bang away and wear out their “G”, “O”, “L” and “D” keys. Which doesn’t mean that this […]
This is a fun one to start off the week with — Christian DeHaemer, who writes the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter that got us all so gaga over Mongolia early this year has a new pick to tease for us that he calls “God’s Chosen Investment” (that Mongolian oil push continues, by the way, my […]
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 […]
I wrote about Hilary Kramer and her new(ish) GameChangers newsletter for the first time just a couple weeks ago — so it’s certainly too early to judge whether her teaser stocks tend to perform as she predicts (that pick, Metalico, is down about 10% from when I wrote about it … but I don’t hold […]
Well, as I noted in the Daily Update email on Friday, the Thermogenic Oil teaser from the Stansberry folks has garnered more interest from my readers than anything else in recent months — so at the very least, that copywriter deserves a raise. And I also said I’d try to take a closer look and […]
Just when I thought my Monday morning might be a big gloomy, with the clouds rolling in for a day of humid thunderstorms, here comes a ray of sunshine to brighten my outlook: The Foolies have a new ad out! Yay! This one’s for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, the one that pits bros Tom […]
Just from that headline, experienced investors and teaser-readers might well know that we’re looking today at rare earth minerals — you might also call them rare earths, rare earth magnets, rare earth elements or lanthanides (they’re usually pulled out of the period table and grouped separately on the bottom if you want the actual names […]
As I struggle out from below the mountain of incoming email teaser ads and get Stock Gumshoe back up to speed after a week of moving and unpacking here at Gumshoe HQ, there’s one thing I can do easily and quickly: share an older article. This one appeared in the Friday File for the Irregulars […]
Today we’ve got an interesting tease that a few readers sent in — it’s from the White Cap Report folks, who generally look for potentially high-octane growth stocks, and it’s about some kind of biotech stock. Here’s how they get our blood flowing this fine morning: “California Biotech Cleared to Bypass FDA – Next Month […]

Today for our Friday pleasure I thought I’d look into another really tiny and illiquid stock — partly because lots of folks have forwarded questions about it to me, and partly because it’s hard to write about $20 million market cap companies without driving the shares crazy when I mention them on the free site. […]

You don’t need me to tell you about the stocks we should probably all be watching — Proctor and Gamble, Coca Cola, Colgate Palmolive, Wal Mart … when they fall, as they have been lately, is the time to think about restocking your larder with the large companies who will continue to dominate the world […]
