I’ve had dozens of readers send this one along, most with a long line of question marks. The teaser has been around for a while (a couple years, as far as I can tell), but it continues to spark interest — especially with the dollar at ridiculous lows, inflation fears bubbling, and gold near $1,000 […]

The latest newsletter to head our way via a big and mysterious marketing pitch is called The Palm Beach Letter, signed by a guy named Mark Ford — who is apparently the same dude as Michael Masterson, who has for a long time been a big name in copywriting and self-help “work from home” marketing […]
“Renegade” Alternative Investments from Jim Rickards — better than BitcoinI’m just copying this all from the promo because I can’t figure out what it means. What it promises definitely might look promising, perhaps. Herewith, my paste: 26 years before the birth of Bitcoin, three rogue entrepreneurs created a radical new investment. A venture that turned every $10 stake into $11,899 over 19 years. It […]

Today’s wee tease is from a guy who is most known as a commodity and oil super-bull in recent years — and his picks today follow that theme quite nicely. Leeb’s top pick in the annals of Gumshoedom is actually unrelated to gold, oil or other commodities — his top pick on our tracking spreadsheets […]
I haven’t written about Martin Weiss and one of his picks in a little while, and Weiss Research is now promoting a special conference call and “inner circle” investment group that will identify his team’s best picks for 2010. Including, as apparently one of his favorites, a gold stock. Here’s the intro to the ad: […]
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 […]
Just returning from vacation, and I don’t have anything new for you just yet… but I see that the questions have been piling up about Frank Curzio’s new newsletter and the $1 gold stock he’s been touting as they drum up new subscribers. And, thankfully, that’s one I already took a quick look at — […]
Late last week I started digging into a teaser from Sean Brodrick at Oxford Resource Explorer that promised “three supercharger plays” for the bull market in precious metals that he expects — and though I only “solved” the first teased stock that day I promised to follow up and catch up on the other two. […]
The Money Map folks are currently selling their subscription service by offering to throw in a free copy of Peter Schiff’s Crash Proof … the book is a couple years old now, and will be updated by a new version this Fall, but they tease a few of the investment ideas Schiff focuses on — […]
Kind of seems like the folks at Stansberry are testing to see whether the term “Filthy Rich” works well in their email campaigns, this is the second one I’ve seen of late (the other was for “My British Uncle Albert’s Filthy Rich Retirement Secret…”). But that’s neither here nor there. We apparently have an opportunity […]
I’ve been blathering about my own investments in these Friday Files for a couple weeks now, but for today we’re going back to sniffing out teaser picks … in this case, a teaser pick for “Gold Fracking” that Frank Curzio has been sending out pretty aggressively for a couple days in pitches for his Small Stock […]
I’ve owned shares of Sandstorm Gold (SAND) for several years, and it was one of my larger holdings for a while, so readers ask about it with some frequency — particularly during times like these, when it is wildly volatile. So is Sandstorm Gold a buy today? Well, I haven’t sold any shares recently. But […]
So … if you’re breathing, and you can read, and you’ve ever subscribed to any investment service or resource of any kind, you’ve probably seen this ad. My readers have wildly varying opinions of Stansberry & Associates and their newsletters, but one thing is certain: They know how to get the word out. And the […]
A question from a reader today echoes the sentiment that I’m hearing from a lot of other folks, so I’m going to run with it… and that will lead me into looking at a teaser pitch for a bearish options trading service. Here’s the question: “I’m a believer in an impending crash. What do we […]
The teaser ads are piling up again for companies that offer some sort of royalty interest in precious metals mining operations — and I think there’s a good reason for that. The royalty companies and streaming companies are ready to do deals and many of them are flush with cash, and junior miners are, after […]
Today, dearest Irregulars, I’ve been a bit thwarted in my efforts to find new and intriguing investment ideas for you — that is, I’ve found some, certainly (they’re always out there), but they haven’t matched the template for what I generally like to share with my favorite readers (yes, that’s you). The first one I […]
Nathan Slaughter edits the Half-Priced Stocks newsletter for StreetAuthority, which is a publisher that puts out a bunch of relatively inexpensive newsletters (you can see reviews of them here, if you’re curious — or add your own reviews). And as one of their advertising strategies, many of their newsletters write up “stock of the month” […]
This ad for Sid Riggs’ Small-Cap Rocket Alert has been pitched a bunch of different ways — starting in August with the promise that they had some special way to get in early with a “royalty” on these “gold chips” that are being sent out (the new EMV chips in credit cards that are beginning […]
The latest pitch from Mitchell Clark comes in for the Explosive Mine Stocks newsletter from Lombardi — and I don’t know where the dude finds the time. Clark is apparently now responsible for four or five newsletters at Lombardi, when I’ve written about him in the past he’s tended to focus on small cap stocks […]
Huh? Are the Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins going to suddenly become twice as valuable as the American Eagle silver coins? No, don’t worry, it’s not that simple and silver is still fungible, an ounce is an ounce is an ounce (well, a troy ounce, anyway). So what’s the idea of “Canadian silver” being somehow […]
It’s like sweet, sweet music in the ear of the gold enthusiast: “The Secret Return to the Gold Standard “A silent conspiracy will make gold a new currency on January 1st 2013. Central banks and governments are buying gold by the metric ton… “If you hold any dollars, here’s what you must do now to […]
I’ve got a teaser pick or two to sniff out for you today for our Friday File edutainment, but first I thought i’d share a few thoughts on a couple of the other companies that have floated through these parts over the years. The first one is StoneMor Partners (STON), which is a master limited […]
Before I get on to that “laziest minority” bit, I did want to throw out a few comments and some thoughts about a few stocks I follow closely: If you don’t think the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and you do think that commodities in general will hold up reasonably well (which […]
This teaser is going to get a lot of attention from Gumshoe readers, partly because Stansberry Phase 1 Investor teasers always get a lot of attention (they usually tease a small stock and they charge $5,000 for the newsletter, which gives them an aura of awesomeness — deserved or not), and partly because the pitch […]

We’ve written about John Doody a few times over the years, largely because the Stansberry folks have been promoting his newsletter and therefore spreading the gospel of this former Econ professor turned gold newsletter guru and mining stock millionaire. The letter is called Gold Stock Analyst, though a couple years ago they started to offer […]
We’ve seen ads very similar to this one for about a year and a half now, and I wrote about them when they first started running, but since there’s been a big push again for this idea from the Lombardi folks I thought I ought to take another look for you. The ad is from […]
The Biggest Silver Squeeze in History is Happening Right Now Here’s what you need to know to capture huge potential gains on the run up… Dear Reader, I’m Peter Krauth. As a global resource specialist, I’ve been rubbing shoulders with the speculators… miners… traders… and ”insiders” who have set and moved the price for metals […]

“Buying PURE gold bullion for $421 an ounce while retail investors are paying $1,700 for the EXACT same gold?” That’s the promise from a recent ad for GoldProfitFormula.com, and, though it turns out it’s not a pitch for a stock this time around, I thought I’d spend a few minutes on the ad — in […]

Matt Badiali edits the S&A Resource Report, which is an “entry level” (ie, less than $100 a year) newsletter that’s currently “on sale” for $39, and his latest pitch for new members has caught the attention of many of the folks in Gumshoe Nation. He’s pitching something he calls “Secret Gold Societies” … and if […]
Several readers have asked about “consolidation” in Sandstorm Gold shares — this is not, mind you, the chart-speak kind of “consolidation,” which means the stock is moving down, but the actual consolidation of a reverse split. So since Sandstorm Gold (SSL in Canada, SNDXF on the pink sheets) is my largest holding and I know […]

I generally don’t like to write about super-heavily-hyped microcap stocks for the whole Gumshoe readership, because we’re almost guaranteed to cause a spike in the price for that stock. So when I saw the latest teaser for the Phase 1 folks over at Stansberry, and those teasers always cause a huge flood of emails to […]
I wrote recently about the teaser for Matt Badiali’s S&A Resource Report that pitched “the end of Silver” as the world runs out of that metal and prices are forecast (by him, at least) to skyrocket. But in that same teaser ad there was a brief hint about Badiali’s Yukon gold stocks, and so readers […]
