I came back from vacation with quite a few questions about this latest Ian King promo, and I’ve also gotten it myself a few times in the past couple days so I guess it’s still being actively mailed… and we’re going to take a few minutes to figure out what his “Great American Reset” pitch […]

Lifetime Income System WOW… That’s one heck of an opening line! And in this video you’ll get to examine actual account statements proving the reality […]
This article was originally published on January 17, 2019. The ad is still in heavy circulation, and we are still getting a lot of questions about it, so we’re re-posting our commentary here. The ad is still dated December 2018, and what follows has also not been updated or revised (if you wish to continue […]
The Motley Fool sent out another internal tease in their Investor Digest this week, as a pitch to upsell their readers to Tom Gardner’s Discovery: IPO Trailblazers service ($1,999/yr, no refunds)… so, naturally, we wanna know what it is, right? We’ve covered this IPO Trailblazers newsletter a few times — it was started as one […]
“The ‘unmistakable signal’ that could lead YOU to profits of 246%, 631%, even 1,425% “Only one in a thousand investors has even heard of it. But it’s delivered them an average return of 140% for more than ten years running. “And the signal just started flashing AGAIN — pointing them to a surging stock that […]
This update was posted on November 24, we’re re-sharing it here because of a huge number of new reader questions. It has NOT been updated or revised since we last posted an update on 11/24/2020, when Ray Blanco reporposed the ad to use the new invented target date of January 20 to replace September 22. […]
Launched by the Gardner brothers, with one stock pick from each per issue, but now Tom and David Gardner have largely stepped back from stock picking and the picks are made by “Rule Breaker” and “Everlasting Stock” teams.
I always like paying attention to Chris Mayer’s recommendations — not because they’re infallible, but because he has a solid and logical process for choosing stocks, and I’ve found his arguments pretty compelling the few times I’ve heard him speak (and, of course, some of those stocks he has profiled have done well — though […]
Have you seen the teaser pitch from Amber Hestla about her little-known strategy for becoming a “stock landlord” and earning income by renting out your shares? It sounds appealing, and like the kind of thing you imagine the big investors must be doing to get an edge, right? Well, sort of — let’s look at […]
Charles Mizrahi has moved over to Angel Publishing, so we’re probably going to see a lot more ads for his Inevitable Wealth Portfolio. And the latest one, which I’ve been seeing for a couple weeks, pretty well bangs us over the head with the huge promises… including that “make 109 times your money” bit, which […]
This is the main investment ideas newsletter from the Oxford Club, published twice per month.
Steve Sjuggerud over at Stansberry has a new ad out pitching a “secret currency,” designed to entice you to subscribe to his True Wealth newsletter (that’s one of Stansberry’s “entry level” letters, currently on sale for $49/yr)… and, as usual, we’ve got plenty of questions about it — so let’s see what answers we can […]
A bunch of readers sent me this ad earlier in the week, talking up (another) huge surge for oil stocks, so I thought I’d dig into it… and just to warn you up front, there’s something extra-misleading about this one. Here’s the lead-in from Adam O’Dell… “Energy’s Growing $10 Trillion Market Could Send… “Oil to […]
What have we learned about teaser ads over the past decade or so? A lot, I hope, but two lessons stand out: First, dates in teaser ads are often made up and don’t really represent meaningful “catalyst” events, they’re just a way to make you feel rushed and get you to pull out your credit […]
Monthly “entry level” natural resources advisory from Matt Badiali, who previously edited the similar Resource Report for Stansberry.
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 […]
Options trading service that recommends trades mostly based on quantitative models that predict stock price changes after quarterly earnings releases. Newsletter is closed.
This pitch about “Federal Rent Checks” has been circulating for quite a while, and it’s still being mailed out with a July 2018 date under the signature (I got a few questions about it just this week), so I decided to take a second look. And what do you know, there has been a LOT […]
Michael Robinson this week is pitching his Nova-X Report with a promise that “we’re about to witness one of the most massive rollouts in history” as a new “magic electricity” ends the days of wires and plugs and dead batteries and makes us all filthy, stinkin’ rich. So what the heck is he talking about? […]
Lots of folks have been asking about Dave Forest’s ad for Brandt Oil, which is apparently in every email inbox in the land this week… the ad is for Casey’s International Speculator, which is apparently helmed by Forest now, and for which they’d like to receive $1,995 from you for a year’s subscription (no refunds, […]
Questions are piling in once more about Byron King’s “Oil Kitchen” teaser ads about a big oil field offshore Namibia that he hopes will mirror the huge fields offshore Brazil, so I thought I’d share the article that I wrote to the Irregulars (the paying members of Stock Gumshoe) in the Friday File on July […]
Here we are again — another promise of a “doubler” from Louis Navellier, who apparently has never seen an earnings beater he didn’t want to buy. This time, though, his copywriters have a bit of an odd pitch on this one — they’re using Al Gore, who among the investing punditry class is often cast […]
Yesterday I started working on the latest teaser from Elliott Gue for his Personal Finance newsletter — it was a little bit anticlimactic, since the water treatment stock he’s teasing is a tough one for most small US investors to buy … but the good news is, that was just one of several stocks he’s […]
This week, instead of digging into a new teaser for your Friday File pleasure, I thought it was time to update you on a few of the “Idea of the Month” stocks that I’ve been thinking about recently. First, I should also tell you that I’ve now made two buys this week personally, both of […]
Well, the questions have been pouring in for months about this newsletter … so finally I’m taking a look. This teaser comes in from Hilary Kramer, urging you to be a charter subscriber to her Breakout Stocks Under $5 newsletter, which looks for, you guessed it, stocks trading under $5 — a category that some […]
This month I want to suggest that you take a look at the biggest credit card processing company in Brazil, Cielo — this was a huge Brazilian IPO last year, then under the name VisaNet, and was formerly the sole processor of Visa cards in the country (as competitor Redecard was the franchise holder for […]

I usually have a nearly endless stream of teaser emails to sift through as I choose which “secret stock” to sniff out for you each day, and one way that I narrow them down is by looking at editors who’ve made similar claims about other stocks and been proven right — it’s no guarantee that […]
This is one of those teases that clearly jumps out at people — when a relatively high profile newsletter teases a new and undervalued oil reservoir held by a tiny penny stock, folks get interested … or at least, that’s what I conclude from the vast number of emails I’ve received in just the last […]

Here’s the pitch for the ad I’m looking at this morning: “At the equivalent of $1.50 per gallon, the ‘fuel of the future’ is over 50% cheaper than diesel. And it’s many times safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly… “But what only a few people know — the rich, connected people, like Pickens and Soros […]
The latest ad from the Oxford Club has been rolling in on Gumshoe Beach in mighty waves, so let’s jump right on it before our loungers are submerged … it’s all about oil, as you might have guessed from the headline, and it’s all about a huge oil field that’s “buried beneath the midwestern prairies.” […]
That’s the promise of the “Newsmax Undercover Report” from Bill Spetrino’s Dividend Machine newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve looked at before. Here’s how the pitch begins: “While the Government Blows Your Money on $326 Pizzas . . . $3.9 Million Desk Rearrangements . . . and Billion-Dollar Moats . . . “An Inner Circle […]
Looks for dividend growth and dividend compounding stocks.
Michael Robinson edits a newsletter that’s now called American Wealth Underground, which looks like it’s the successor to the BreakAway Investor newsletter that he took over last year from Christian DeHaemer and, before him, Andrew Mickey in the game of musical chairs that so often is the newsletter business. As far as I can tell, […]
I haven’t written much about the folks from the White Cap Report, which seems basically to be just a relatively low cost “small growth stock” newsletter … but the ad that a reader forwarded last night caught my attention. Like the Matt Badiali teaser we looked at a yesterday this one is also targeted at […]
Lots of questions rolling in from the Gumshoe faithful about this ad today — it’s a teaser from Matt Badiali and his S&A Resource Report, and it’s all about the massive oil shale resources in China, and how to profit from them. Here’s how the pitch begins: “World’s Largest Oil Shale Field Discovered… in China? […]
I started writing about Peter Schiff’s new “special report” last week, so today it’s time to finish up on that before I forget — you can see the original article and the first two ideas here, and now we’ll move along to cover Companiess three and four that were teased out for us in the […]
Ian Cooper is teasing us about an options trade on a little biotech stock again — you might remember that about a year ago he and a few others were throwing out hyperactive teaser ads regarding Arena Pharmaceuticals, the company with a new weight loss drug that was on the verge of releasing results of […]
I continued to get a lot of questions about this “Green ATF” teaser from the Green Chip folks over the last week or so, and now that it’s been several weeks since I first wrote about the teaser in the Friday File it seems fair to share it with everyone here on the free site. […]
