Nicholas Vardy has been pitching this “secret” stock for a few years now — I first noticed his ads along these lines back in 2015, when he called the stock a “Buffett clone” that had beaten Berkshire by 70%, and then looked at it last year when he started using that “greatest wealth compounding machine” […]

I watched the Grant’s Interest Rate Observer Conference this week via webcast, and it continues to be one of my favorite events — though I’d rather be there in person. These are some of my notes about the presentations I found most interesting… no “quick take” here, sorry, these are mostly notes and my responses. […]
“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 […]
“An opportunity this good only comes along once twice in a lifetime. “These 3 quick-action interviews with our Foolish investing experts (below) show how to prepare yourself for the $19 trillion revolution that’s swallowing up the Internet. And how to zero in on the 3 next-generation technology stocks that are best positioned to profit. “I’m […]
This article was originally published on August 13, 2013, around the time this teaser ad pitch was first circulated. The ad is still largely the same today and is circulating heavily again, and it is clearly still teasing the same company, so we’re just re-posting this article for all our newer readers who have questions… […]
In a Land Filled with Goliaths, You Want to be Long a DavidHello Fellow Stock GumShoe Readers, It’s an honor to be able to share with you an investment idea that I strongly believe in and hopefully it’ll accomplish two things: Give you a chance to participate in a huge opportunity and help me win an annual subscription too. To start with I would describe my idea […]
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 […]
I’ve got no shortage of possible topics to write about after a couple weeks respite — the teasers didn’t stop flowing while I was gone, and the hyperbole hasn’t been turned down for the sultry days of summer — but the one that’s been requested most has been the “Einstein’s Space Energy” pitch from Dr. […]
The US certainly doesn’t have a monopoly on tech startups, or on breakthrough ideas, or even on dreams of avarice … so I guess it should come as no surprise that we also do not have a monopoly on breathlessly-hyped breakthrough technology newsletters. This latest one that I first heard about quite recently is from […]
Well, the folks at Stansberry are now releasing the penny stock newsletter that they’ve been testing for a few months — and of course, they’d like you to subscribe. The editor is Frank Curzio, who used to run a similar newsletter at TheStreet.com focusing on stocks under $10. So just as a warning, both Curzio […]
Now that Apple is the largest public company in the world, and the most popular stock, the eagerness with which newsletter guys tout “secret” Apple suppliers is ramping up still more … impressive in itself, since the basic “buy Apple suppliers” pitch has been around and making money for subscription-sellers ever since Synaptics was pitched […]
Today, for your holiday reading pleasure, we’re re-sharing a teaser solution that’s still being asked about (and apparently still being heavily promoted by the Sovereign Society folks). The original solution to this teaser appeared in a Friday File commentary, so some of you may not have seen it. I’ve excerpted most of the teaser solution […]
I’ve been mostly sitting on the sidelines during the “Crypto Mania” this year, because, well, anything “manic” makes me nervous and I still haven’t been able to come up with a rational price argument for any cryptocurrency…. … so I haven’t recently dug into all of the recent “Amazon is going to choose a cryptocurrency […]
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 […]
If you’re not an analyst or asset manager who specializes in the financial sector, and you don’t count on AIG, Lehman Brothers, or their many near competitors for a paycheck, right now might be a good time to take a step back, breathe a little, and thank whatever deity or lucky totem you might carry, […]
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 […]
Pain management is a huge market in the medical world, as you’re no doubt aware — and buckets of money are pouring down on the many, many little biotech stocks who are trying to develop new pain medications, or to tweak existing medications to make them safer or less likely to be abused. So it’s […]
This is an interesting one from Doug Fabian that I got a few days ago, teasing an income boosting strategy that uses dividends in a special way. He’d like you to sign up for a subscription to High Monthly Income to find out how to get this great dividend cash flow. In his words, “I […]

We get “rebate” and “refund” and “enrollment” check teasers all the time, it’s a popular way to give investors, especially inexperienced investors, the illusion that there’s some free way to get money that they don’t know about (which many people always suspect, anyway)… the story typically is that all you have to do is sign […]
Here’s what caught our readers’ attention in a pitch from Bill Patalon’s Private Briefing: “Early investors could reap as much as $115,900 beginning April 21 “In the barren, hostile plains of the New Mexico desert, not far from the Mexican border, they’re building a city like no other. “A city with high rises, avenues, parks, […]
Today I continue my annual navel-gazing for you, as I look at each position in my portfolio — though this year, as I mentioned in our kickoff last week, I’m changing the way I describe, report and follow these stocks for you, largely so that I can be clearer about my preferences and opinions and […]
Lots of questions rolling in about this one — it’s a pitch for Sean Brodrick’s Oxford Resource Explorer, which these days is offered at $79 a year (or $49 for email-only)… though the letter is actually signed by David Fessler, one of their analysts who has generally been touted as an energy and resource expert […]
Each year I check in on every company that I own and cover for the Irregulars, even those where my opinion doesn’t change much from month to month (or even from year to year, in some cases)… but we’re going to do it a little differently this year. This is all part of what will […]

The original solution to this teaser appeared in a Friday File commentary, so some of you may not have seen it. I’ve excerpted most of the teaser solution […]
I spent a day and a half in Manhattan to attend the conference run by Grant’s Interest Rate Observer and Jim Grant, and I’ll probably write some additional things about my take on the various presenters and the ideas they might inspire as my thoughts percolate… but these are my initial reactions. First, investment conferences […]
This one already has a little discussion going among some of our intrepid Gumshoe Irregulars, and at least one of them has ID’d the right stock … but I’ve been asked to weigh in, so I’ll give it the full treatment today. The ad is for Michael Robinson’s Radical Technology Profits, which comes from Money […]
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”. […]
A few things to blather on about for you today — a teaser, a new mutual fund I’ve been following that has some appeal (and some of my money now), and some quick updates on my portfolio. First, though, I want to call attention to our discussions here at Stock Gumshoe. Most readers will never […]
We’ve certainly seen our share of “next breakthrough” promises from Louis Basenese — he has worked for a variety of publishers (mostly under the Agora umbrella, I think) and is now promoting a service that he calls VentureCap Strategist, published by Wall Street Daily, and now he’s dangling his take on virtual reality in front […]
“The next MegaTrend is here and ready to make a bundle from it.I just spent six months researching it, and I’ve dug out what I think is my greatest stock pick ever. “My only concern is that this company gets bought out in the next six months. “And that I miss out on its long […]
Yesterday we dug into the teaser pitch for Blue Chip Gems that promised Bret Jensen’s “#1 Forever Stock for 2016,” and I told you I’d try to also name his other two picks… … so that’s today’s goal, identifying those other two members of Jensen’s “Top 3 Buy and Hold ‘Forever Stocks’” portfolio. We don’t […]
I didn’t do anything with my portfolio this week, and I don’t think we’ve had significant news that changes my opinion about any of the stocks I wrote about in our Annual Review about ten days ago, so today I’ll just dig into a teaser pitch for your Friday File edutainment. Here’s the intro to […]
Each year I go through all of the stocks that I either own personally or have brought to the attention of the Irregulars (there’s quite a bit of overlap on those lists), and I make sure to update my thoughts and opinion on that stock in an organized and, hopefully, disciplined way — that helps […]
“UCLA Researchers Stunned by Nobel Prize-Winning Cancer Breakthrough “One Little Shot to Kill Cancer Dead “Proven in clinical trials to eliminate lethal forms of cancer with a single dose “One small company owns the patent to this life-saving treatment “Its $5 shares are projected to surge 2,700% on an imminent FDA announcement” That intro comes […]
We were talking about Warren Buffett just yesterday, and I also recently was looking into flights to go to the annual meeting in the Spring, so everyone’s favorite avuncular billionaire was on my mind this week… and it was almost like he was talking in my ear as I was plotting this “Idea of the […]
Today, as the Black Friday crowds have died down and we’ve all grown tired of watching people fight over “doorbuster” items in the “what has the world come to” video clips that are all-too-popular nowadays… we can talk about a different kind of ridiculous promotion. No, not towels for $1.60 or Xboxes for $99, but […]
Generalist newsletter launched in Spring of 2015, recommending a variety of stocks, including blue chip-type ideas — marketing material says he sometimes “trades around” those positions and uses technical analysis to pick entry and exit points. Payne appears on Fox Business and also runs his own newsletter called Common Sense and a website called Wall […]
The “Internet of Things” is sure getting a lot of attention these days — most people throw around the forecasted numbers of $17-20 trillion as the market for this new technology, in which everything is interconnected and data is collected about you and your appliances and the roads you drive on and, well, everything. Even […]
Things are starting to heat up in earnings season, and the big takeaway for me so far, with Alphabet reporting yesterday, is more confirmation that mobile advertising is making some fortunes for shareholders — so today I’ll check in with Google/Alphabet, add some thoughts about Facebook and Twitter (which have yet to report), and update […]
