Paul Mampilly is out with a teaser pitch for his Profits Unlimited newsletter from Banyan Hill, which is the entry-level ($97/yr) stock picking letter for that publisher (which used to be called the Sovereign Society). I first covered this for the Irregulars last summer, but we’re still getting a lot of questions so we opened […]
This article was originally published on January 18, 2017. It has NOT been updated or revised since that date, the new versions of the ad we’re now seeing have dropped the “Retirement Blackout” pitch about April 10, since that fiduciary rule change was delayed in Washington, but otherwise the “26(f)” pitch appears unchanged. This ad […]
This article was originally published on January 25, 2017. It has not been updated or revised since then, but we are seeing the same ad from Dr. Moors circulating heavily again (still with a January 2017 date), so re-post it here for your information. The stock teased has been quite volatile but currently is up […]
I’m always interested to see what kind of big-growth ideas are being teased, particularly in a market that already feels so expensive, so a Cabot pitch caught my eye again this week — this time it’s from Mike Cintolo for Cabot Growth Investor, and this is what grabbed my attention: “My Expectation: A 25% Jump […]
Double-digit income yields catch the attention of investors in any environment, but that’s especially true these days — savings accounts yield a fraction of a percent, typing up your money in bonds or CDs for a few years likely means you’ll actually lose money after you account for even low inflation, and the average big […]
The latest ads from Cabot’s Global Stocks Explorer caught my eye with a “bypass the coronavirus” pitch. Here’s how the ad starts: “Bypass the Coronavirus…with this hidden gem at the heart of ‘the biggest investment boom in history’ “Operating revenue increased over 70%. “Gross profit surged 122%. “Net income was up over 60%. “Total bookings […]
This is the request I got yesterday: “Hi Travis “How about a HK stock for a change? Stansberry has just merged or taken over Churchouse – I think the advertising has picked up Stansberry techniques…” Sounds like a good idea. If those names don’t sound familiar, Peter Churchouse has been a pretty well-known investing pundit […]
Today we’re looking at a teaser pitch from Larry Edelson, who thinks that the government is on the verge of outlawing cash and forcing you to use credit cards and other digital payments. And, of course, he has a way to enrich you as this trend proceeds… buying the companies who are doing the payment […]
It’s the beginning of the year, and that means we’re going to see lots and lots of “top stock for 2019” pitches — so, naturally, your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe will be trying to solve ’em for you. There are two that caught my eye this Monday morning, the first was Alexander Green’s “No. 1 […]
I got stuck in a writing quagmire today, so no new teaser solution for you — but we’ve got one from February that’s still relevant that we can share. It first appeared in a Friday File for our Irregulars on February 22, and I’ve continued to get questions about it over the past couple months. […]
This ad about a “Donald Trump investment” is sending a lot of questions our way, so we’re going to take a look at it for you in today’s Friday File… and I’ve also got an update on Sandstorm Gold to share, plus a quick look at the idea of “protection” from market declines and how […]
I covered this teaser pitch from Marin Katusa as part of a Friday File for our Irregulars way back in February, and I’m getting buckets of questions about this “Forever Royalties” pitch again so I thought I should double check and update this — and share it with everyone, not just our paying members (yes, […]
A few purchases to talk to you about today, and a couple other notes as we go… mostly on the theme of risk and safety, as we close out a week with lots of news-driven volatility. Ready? Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is, in some ways, a fun way to “play” the marijuana boom with less […]
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 […]
ABF: the unknown underdog.Down 24.93% In the period from the 3rd of November up to including the 28th of March the stock went down 24.93% despite the 12% dividend growth and the 6% group revenue growth in 2017. Was the company really at its top performance in 2017 and is the price now thrown back to the real […]
Sometimes literary gimmicks backfire. In May 2015, we premiered “Cisco, Chang & Charlie” (sans Oxford comma) as a James Joycean brooding on the letter C, third letter of the alphabet, in three iterations. At the time, three stocks whose names begin with C were vying for attention and prompting questions from readers. The original plan […]
Today’s article is a lightly updated revision of one that appeared on November 3, 2016, when an earlier “pre-election” version of the same ad was running. The hints about individual stocks are the same in the ad today, as is much of the rest of the language, though back then it was an urgent “pre-election” […]
This piece originally appeared as part of the Friday File for the Irregulars on July 28, but has now been unlocked for everyone. The company reported quarterly results about two weeks ago that were generally well received, and has otherwise gotten more positive press and analyst upgrades over the past month, and the shares are […]
This article was first published January 23, 2017, it has not been updated or revised. This ad caught my eye over the weekend, and it had enough clues that the Thinkolator started chugging along almost before I turned the switch this morning — so let’s dig in, and maybe we can even make it a […]
Here’s the teaser pitch from Lombardi’s Moe Zulfiqar that caught my eye as he shouts out the headline, “A 1,000% Windfall from the New King of Online Retail“… Here’s some more from the first part of the ad, which is sniffing around in an attempt to dig up new subscribers to Lombardi’s Micro-Cap Tech Reporter […]
Today we’re going to start you out with a quickie teaser solution, and I’m going to keep it quick mostly because this one is largely a connect-the-dots guess, given the limited number of clues that were dropped in the ad. The ad is from Marin Katusa, who went off on his own after leaving Casey […]
This “tease” isn’t from a regular ad, it’s from a “free” article that Porter Stansberry posted earlier this week… but a couple readers asked about it, and I was curious myself, so I jumped in to check out the clues. Maybe it’s just that this ad hints at a non-sexy and rational-sounding investment at a […]
No, these bits won’t be about Melania’s kidney ailment nor yet about what Meghan wore for The Wedding. I wish them both luck – they’ll need it!. However, there continue to be developments on the medical and health-care fronts that may matter to us a good deal more than the doings of those ladies. […]
Today’s article is a lightly updated revision of one that appeared on November 3, 2016, when an earlier “pre-election” version of the same ad was running. The hints about individual stocks are the same in the ad today, as is much of the rest of the language, though back then it was an urgent “pre-election” […]
A few updates and thoughts to share with you on this fine May Friday, starting with a more detailed look a the new healthcare-related stock that I added to my portfolio a little while ago and haven’t discussed much yet. That stock is Premier, Inc. (PINC), a truly generic name for a pretty interesting company. […]
This teaser solution was originally posted on October 5, 2016 — the ad has circulated very heavily at various times in the past 18 months, routinely driving a lot of questions our way, so I took another look in May of 2017 when the ad was last updated. The ad still carries the May, 2017 […]
This tease caught my eye, mostly because I was genuinely curious — Ian Wyatt is promoting a “webinar” he’s going to host on May 10 that will talk up a way to play the “new bull market” in oil, and part of it, at least, is going to be about a “unconventional IPO.” So I […]
We’ve seen a long stream of earnings reports and other worthwhile bits of data on Real Money Portfolio stocks since I last wrote to you, including some that actually included some interesting news, so prepare for a lot of quick updates…. Medical Properties Trust (MPW) reported another quarter of ho-hum… pretty much met the forecasts, […]
It was a little ugly to go from frolicking on the Florida beaches with the Little Gumshoes to wandering the cold and rainy streets of Toronto, but my trip to the Fairfax Financial Annual Meeting was worth the chill. Since I was there for Prem Watsa’s chat-fest, I came in a day early to check […]

The stock teased has been quite volatile but currently is up […]
I’ve gotten quite a few questions recently about “income” and “buy stocks cheap” letters that are clearly veiled hints about put option selling… so I thought I’d take a look at one of them. The ad in question today is from Karim Rahemtulla, who calls himself “The Frugal Millionaire” in this spiel and has been […]
Sometimes we just need to take a step back. On Tuesday, we were headed into a devastating trade war, with a third of our exports to China subject to punishing tariffs (in response to the tariffs proposed on more than 10% of their exports to the US)… by mid-afternoon on Wednesday, the trade war is […]
We’ve got a big new cryptocurrency-related pitch to look at for you today, and since it’s from Ray Blanco at Agora’s Breakthrough Technology Alert, one of the most heavily-marketed newsletters around, you’ll probably see the ad soon if you haven’t already. It’s all about what Ray Blanco calls “The Stockchain” … which is basically the […]
What do I think? That’s what a lot of readers are asking during these volatile days… and there is, of course, no easy answer. My thoughts are all over the place, so today’s Friday File musings are going to run the gamut. Tesla (TSLA) is a good example of how the market is treating investors […]
Down 24.93% In the period from the 3rd of November up to including the 28th of March the stock went down 24.93% despite the 12% dividend growth and the 6% group revenue growth in 2017. Was the company really at its top performance in 2017 and is the price now thrown back to the real […]

Back we go to the well to take another sip of Louis Navellier’s delightful bullishness — he’s got an ad out for his Blue Chip Growth (currently $100/year), and it’s all about a “magic metal” that he thinks will make you rich. This is the part that caught my eye, partway through the ad: “This […]
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 […]
