This is a special bonus solution for the Irregulars, because the company is very, very small and probably quite foolish to trade — if you do buy it and the company doesn’t do well, it will be very hard to sell it quickly. Especially if you’re not willing to take substantial losses. That goes for […]

Kevin Massengill has recently been pushing his Defense Technology Alert by dropping some hints about his two favorite investments… including what he says is “My Top Defense Play of All Time.” So what’s the story? Well, you could subscribe to find out, I suppose, if you feel like ponying up $2,000 a year and trust […]
This article was originally published on May 19, and the ad we’re covering has been heavily promoted over the past month, leading up to a big final push before yesterday’s supposed catalyst date of June 13, when Blanco (or his ad copywriter) was certain that Apple would announce some big news about “this tiny company”. […]
Newsletter promoters LOVE dates — using a specific day in the calendar, preferably a day within the next month or two, gives a sense of urgency to an ad and makes you feel like you have to sign up RIGHT NOW to avoid missing out on the profits that can be made. And Agora is […]
I always like reading Chris Mayer’s stuff — he often presents at the Value Investing Congress, he seems to be an interesting and low-key guy in person, and the ideas that are pitched by his various newsletters at Agora often catch my eye. They don’t always work out, of course, but every once in a […]
New Agora $2000 product for “Firth Dimention of Warfare”https://pro.agorafinancial.com/p/DTA_planx_0417/WDTAT409/?h=true this link is from promo I received for new ”service” that promises to find the little companies that will perform ”stuxnet” like feats and grow, grow, grow. Of course Jim Rickards, flaunting his well-work CIA credentials, is half the partnership producing this. I have to wonder about credibility of any text like this that […]
This one is starting to make the rounds and move higher. Here’s why a little-known $2 stock on the forefront of this Nobel Prize winning technology could explode over 1,000% starting March 31, 2016 http://research.agorafinancial.com/research/html/vpi_resurecctioncell_0216/
Ray Blanco is running another ad with a near-term deadline for big anticipated stock movements — last time around, it was the pitch about Energous (WATT) and his conviction that Apple CEO Tim Cook would say something exciting about wireless charging for iPhones at the WWDC this year (that was yesterday, and Cook did no […]
Anyone familiar with this ? Guaranteed 1500 a month on 2 or 3 clicks a month. Pitched by Chris Campbell http://research.agorafinancial.com/research/html/tia_retireloop_1214/?code=ETIARC16&ver=9&o=35496&s=36337&u=4734055&l=111989&g=0&r=MC2&a=13&email=hywaylaw@gmail.com&n=TIA_disloop_1215

We’ve got a little teaser stock that has been teased before to briefly share with you, and earlier today I posted an updated look at a Dan Ferris teaser for Altius (again), but I do have a couple other quick notes to get to first. First is that while I was noodling around and looking […]
Here at Stock Gumshoe we like to keep our ears tuned in to teasers from all around the world, or at least the English-speaking world — the marketing techniques used by Agora, the Motley Fool, and the whole rest of the financial newsletter universe don’t stop at our borders, and we do have our loyal […]
Anyone care to share a positive word on this company? Do they really offer any real value, or just a constant stream of expensive programs to sell you with no real substance to back it up? Below is an email I just shot off to their customer service after yet another urgent push to buy […]
I know I’ve said this before, and sometimes it’s a lie: I’m going to try to keep this one brief. Agora Financial’s FDA Trader service has a new pitch out — which normally might not get that much attention, since everyone is suddenly terrified of biotech stocks after a brutal month or two — but […]
I’ve got a few thoughts for you on some companies I follow and own, and a little follow-up on last week’s chatter about hedge funds, but first I thought you’d like a quick teaser solution for your Friday File fun… The pitch is for Stephen Petranek’s Breakthrough Technology Alert — there’s been some discussion recently […]
Alpha Contracts! That’s what’s being teased by the Agora Financial folks these days, all as part of a pitch for Zachary Scheidt’s Contract Income Alert. We haven’t covered this particular letter before, but have covered a few income-oriented pitches by Zach Scheidt for his other letters over the years, mostly talking up dividend-paying stocks and […]
Premium priced advisory from Byron King and Agora, largely focused on finding technology investments that started with military funding or have some defense connection, ranging from cybersecurity to biotech. Seems to have been succeeded at Agora by Defense Technology Alert.
“An entirely new digital currency will hit the net on August 28 “It will rapidly replace ALL current “crypto-currencies”… and then ring the funeral bell for the mighty U.S. dollar “Profits on this new currency are completely uncapped (unlike Bitcoin)… and based on past modeling, I predict they’ll be 1,000 times higher than we’ve ever […]
I’ve had a bunch of readers asking me to look at the ads for Chris Mayer’s new service, so that’s the plan today. We don’t usually see ads for newsletters that cite Stock Gumshoe, so that also helped catch my eye when I was browsing ads and deciding which teaser pitch to cover recently — […]
Most Stock Gumshoe readers are in the US and Canada, as you might imagine if you care to waste time in such musings, but we do have a number of readers in Australia, as well, so sometimes we like to jump in and cover one of the teasers from Down Under. The selling techniques are […]
Higher-end trading advisory from Manward Press, which was launched as an Agora affiliate in 2017 and promotes itself as “publishing ideas that lead men to richer, fuller lives that overflow with freedom.” Andrew Snyder previously worked for the Oxford Club and other Agora publishers.
Does anyone have insight on the “IBO” that Agora Financial is marketing.

Pretty much every publisher has jumped on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, and this latest one shouldn’t come as much of a surprise… Jim Rickards has styled himself as a currency guru, with his “Currency Wars Alert” and plenty of pitches about the impending demise of the dollar or other major currency moves in recent years, and […]
High end newsletter with monthly cryptocurrency trading recommendations, first crypto “token” recommendation made in January 2018. Rickards has previously helmed many newsletters that focus on gold and currency trading.

This is a bonus weekend “quickie” for you, so it’s not a stock I’m going to go in depth on… but I thought you might want a few moments to think about it while the market’s not open. The promise is absurd, here’s a taste of it from the top of the ad: “ALERT: Agora […]
Has anyone seen this recent offering from Agora or got any experience of the service, supposedly underpinned by big-data analytics software?
Travis, I subscribe to some of their investment letters and they do provide a very good forum for discussion, particularly for me in The Price Report and The Fleet Street Letter which are authored by understated Englishmen and reflect their innate caution. However, I think they let themselves down with the sort of absurd claims […]
This is a fun one relying on a couple of toppled K’s intersecting what looks like a sine wave — the K-sign indicator. ”Almost” guaranteed mega-results, based on an algorithm concocted by one of their insiders and the offer closes on Sunday night. So, Travis, will it make me rich in minutes? OK, then — […]
I just read the most head-spinning teaser ever from Agora. Makes Alice in Wonderland seem like a business plan. The idea is Trump will do something to liberate the trillions of US corporate dollars sitting overseas to avoid taxes. The new Alpha Extreme, for only $550, will tell you the stock or stocks to buy […]
Text: Unlike a lot of CDs, the MarketSafe® Emerging Currencies CD doesn’t pay periodic interest or even an annual percentage yield. Instead, it’s an indexed, U.S. dollar-denominated CD, and its performance is tied to the gains and losses of five currencies over the course of the CD’s 3-year term. The five currencies are the Brazilian […]
Does anybody, including the writers for Stock Gumshoe, know anything about this new offering from Agora Financial. Supposedly some kind of patent that allows them to give you an ”Indicator Spike” telling you when to buy a certain stock and you will realize profits in 1 to 5 days. I wonder how accurate this is […]
This ad has popped up several times over the course of the year, and it’s now running again with a slight variation — mostly to change the “urgent” trade date from April 15 to November 9… so I thought we should take a quick look. The basic idea is that Robert Williams has a team […]

Well, you could subscribe to find out, I suppose, if you feel like ponying up $2,000 a year and trust […]
what is this pitch today about ?
Hi: Has anyone watched the teaser? He claims to have a four cycle momentum model that catches stocks when they are cheap but gaining momentum. The five stocks teased are: 1) Chinese royalty company that get % of gold, copper and silver processed [research needed] 2) Canadian royalty company with similar attributes to 1 above […]
Promoting a service called ” Defense Technology Alert” by Agora, Massengill is teasing a stock that apparently has a connection to ” Meriglim” that is the secret to subscribing to his $2,000 a year service. What stock is he teasing, and is it a valid investment? jbinsc
Hello Travis, I am an Irregular Gummie who loves what you do! It is great to have a place to test and validate (or mostly not) all the wild claims out there. This week I saw a pitch for Weekly Wealth Alert, Alan Knuckman’s ”patent pending” ”weekly paycheck indicator,” which is basically an analysis of […]
