The Motley Fool gets more coverage here at Stock Gumshoe than pretty much any other newsletter publisher, with the possible exception of Stansberry — partly because the Fool has had some very good picks over the years, and partly because they have one of the biggest email lists around and they push a lot of […]

It’s been a heckuva week, eh? I have no idea whether this is really the “capitulation” washout that so many investing pundits have been looking for, or whether we’ll keep falling on Monday or will bounce back after the week ended so roughly, but I do have a couple thoughts to share with you about […]
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 […]
I’ve had quite a number of folks write in and ask about Hilary Kramer’s predictions for 2011 — she’s bullishly yelling about buying stocks in her ads right now, and pitching several “super stocks” for 2011 that you should buy before Christmas and, naturally, we’d like to know what they are, yes? This is how […]
So far this year, one pundit’s pitch for the “top technology stock of 2015” has worked out well (that was Navellier’s tout of MEI back in January) — so perhaps that inspired a few readers to send a different pundit’s take on the same prognostication my way. Jim Pearce is pitching Investing Daily’s newish Smart […]
David Gardner has touted and teased many stocks for both his Rule Breakers and his Stock Advisor services — probably, in fact, we’ve covered more Motley Fool teaser ads here at Stock Gumshoe than we have any other publisher (and according to the quick calculations of one of our readers, they’ve had more winners than […]
I couldn’t resist pulling this one out of the bin in the basement — the teaser ad came across my screen several times this week, which probably means that the Oxford Club folks are mailing it pretty heavily again…. and the ad they’re sending out is pretty much exactly, as far as I’ve been able […]
OK, OK, the questions on this one are getting a bit overwhelming — and I’m afraid that if I don’t cover this one soon the villagers will soon be gathering their fiery torches and marching on Castle Gumshoe … so here goes. Louis Basenese and the folks at Wall Street Daily are pitching his MicroCap […]
These kinds of ads always include some huge numbers that sound really, really impressive… here’s a little bit of the intro from the latest ad for Briton Ryle’s The Wealth Advisory: “*Jim T. collected $23,500 last month from ‘backdooring’ Google’s Account *Ron J. ‘backdoored’ $15,804 from Facebook’s Account *Aaron K. pocketed $6,817 last month from […]
The Motley Fool folks have been sending around a promo email that teases a “Project Purple” stock that they think will “dominate the hundred-screen future” — it’s all about the proliferation of screens in our lives, and the incredible advances made by one “secret” company. And yes, I know that some of you will have […]
This one has been floating around for a month or so, and I did write briefly about it when it was being touted as the supplier that would take a 50% leap on iPhone sales (that was back in October). This is a teaser that came in from Ann Sosnowski at Diligent Investor, who spins […]
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 haven’t sniffed out a HIlary Kramer teaser for a while, and lots of folks have been sending me the latest of her hypetastic ads, so I thought I’d dig into the one that sounded most compelling to me. The ad is for her GameChangers newsletter which, sort of in the mold of the Motley […]
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 […]
Grant Wasylik took over the newsletters that were started by Frank Curzio over at Uncommon Wisdom (one of the Weiss Research publication groups), and he’s out with a new ad for the Adventure Capitalist “back end” newsletter. That letter is one of the many “upgrade” newsletters that most publishers funnel you toward — if you […]
Frank Curzio’s latest ad for his Curzio Research Advisory newsletter ($79/yr) starts out with a pretty big promise… “There’s a one-in-three chance someone you know could be saved by this new device. “That’s because one in three Americans will die due to cardiovascular disease – the No.1 killer not only in America, but worldwide.” And […]
Smart Sensing RevolutionWhat is Bill Patalon pitching with his ”Smart Sensing Revolution” stock?
Everyone hates their cable company and their wireless company. When we used to have home phones, we hated Ma Bell, too… everyone who has a monopoly or near-monopoly and uses that to keep prices and profits high and customer service low gets ranked pretty far up the “hate” list, whether its the airlines or the […]
Sometimes it seems like investment newsletter teasers run in trends… last week we were inundated with “smart metal” pitches, this week the questions are pouring in about Doug Casey’s “Super Metal.” I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, so many newsletter ads try to implant a short little phrase in your head that harnesses their investing […]
Whew, we’ve got another doozy today! Michael Robinson is peddling his Radical Technology Profits by hinting at another life-changing technology idea, all based on a “shape shifting” smart metal called X-31 that he says will replace silicon. So, naturally, we want to dig in. As usual, we go in with eyes wide open, well aware […]
Gummy Any news on Mike Ward’’s Smart metal that’s gonna shake the world?
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 […]
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, […]
This article was originally published on March 26, with an immediate deadline at the time… but the ad is now being recirculated by Marin Katusa with a new April 30 deadline, so we’re re-sharing the teaser solution. The meat of the ad is unchanged, and the article that follows is also unchanged… and we’ve left […]
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 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. […]
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 […]
THIS TINY $6 COMPANY IS GOING TO REPLACE EVERY “SMART DEVICE” ON THE PLANET… is Frank Curzio’s latest venture spam. I don’t have a thinkolator so I’m not sure what company this is but the CurzSpam led me to VUZI. Is this company for real? Lawsuits galore but INTEL owns a piece, which makes me […]
This article was originally published on September 28, 2017. It has not been updated or revised. The stock teased, Xilinx, has been very volatile since the teaser pitch first circulated but has risen roughly 7%, just about in line with the broader market. Charles Mizrahi has mostly pitched stocks that have a “value” bent in […]
#NeverAgain is a new American student-led organization that advocates for tighter regulations to prevent gun violence. It was started in February, 2018, by 20 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, after 17 people were murdered by a shooter armed with an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle, and now has tens of thousands […]
The Chinese gov’t now controls a ”technology” critical to the U.S. Military. And in March 2018, they plan to use it to shut down our Armed Forces and cripple our defense systems… The U.S. Defense Dept. will have to pin its hopes on one tiny company. In the next few months, its technology could save […]
mainland China that travel at a speed of Mach 5. A saturation attack from China would put our Navy into jeopardy along with aircraft carriers like the Ronald Reagan. There is a defense contractor that can produce a defense against such an attack and I’m curious as to who it might be and if you’ve […]
creating what would be China’s Pearl Harbor. What is the name of the company that can prevent this from happening?
Anyone know what stock Moors is hawking concerning the little defense contractor who is making the $25000 Mach 7 bullet?
[ed. note: Michael Jorrin, who I dubbed “Doc Gumshoe” years ago, is a longtime medical writer (not a doctor) who writes for us a couple times a month about health issues, marketing, and trends. He does not typically focus on specific investment opportunities, but has agreed to our trading restrictions… as with all of our […]
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 […]
