“The ‘unmistakable signal’ that could lead YOU to profits of 246%, 631%, even 1,425% “Only one in a thousand investors has even heard of it. But it’s delivered them an average return of 140% for more than ten years running. “And the signal just started flashing AGAIN — pointing them to a surging stock that […]

Today’s teaser is a pretty short one, from the Motley Fool for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, but most ads from the Fool make the Gumshoe faithful perk their ears up so we’re going to cover it quickly for you today. And I think I’ve covered more teaser picks for Motley Fool Stock Advisor than […]
The Motley Fool’s growth strategy in recent years has been to launch lots of higher-end “portfolio” services in the $1,000-2,000/yr range, usually with some kind of thematic focus… and the menu of offerings is getting a little insane now. When I launched Stock Gumshoe in 2007, the Fool had five or six different paid newsletters… […]
High-end portfolio service from the Motley Fool, recommends an allocated portfolio of stocks around a theme (mostly “5G” in this case), and provides commentary and updates on those stocks, regular rebalancing/reranking of the portfolio, and occasional additions of new stocks. Formerly called “Extreme Opportunities,” this service is now under the Fool’s Rule Breakers brand.
This one’s going to sound a little familiar, but we’ll give it a quick once-over for the folks who haven’t been aboard the good ship Gumshoe for long. The Motley Fool is pitching their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter ($59/yr) with a pitch about a company that they have “bet” on with their own money. They […]
I noted in the Friday File for the Irregulars a few days ago that I’ve been getting more and more questions about bitcoin. And I’m sure that’s no surprise to you… heck, I was even at a birthday party for a friend’s child over the weekend and the few new folks I met, when they […]
Here’s the teaser pitch that caught the attention of some Gumshoe readers this morning: “Not to alarm you but you’re about to miss an important and rare event. “Renowned investor Tom Gardner has identified a stock that he thinks resembles Facebook before its IPO. “It’s a little internet company that’s growing at a torrid pace […]
Launched by the Gardner brothers, with one stock pick from each per issue, but now Tom and David Gardner have largely stepped back from stock picking and the picks are made by “Rule Breaker” and “Everlasting Stock” teams.
A few readers have asked about this recent Motley Fool Stock Advisor promotion, so I thought I’d take a quick look-see for you today… apropo for “Apple Week,” it was all about Apple’s next “secret project” and “3 stocks to buy before Apple unveils its next must-have product.” So what is it? Well, I’ll spare […]
First of all, I’m a brand new member of the Irregulars, having just joined a half hour ago. I’ve been poking around the free membership section for several years just to get a feel for Stock Gumshoe. What prompted the switch to joining the Irregulars was a brand new service being promoted by Motley Food […]

Could the future of entertainment really be inside a small black box sitting underneath your television set. Well I saw the future of entertainment, and it’s already here. And it’s all inside of that black box. In my son’s messy apartment, he had a small black […]
I may have to add a little dose of guessing to the Thinkolator results on this one, but we’ve had a few folks asking “who beat Amazon?” of late, thanks to this latest Motley Fool ad, so I’m going to give it a try. The ad is for the Motley Fool’s flagship Stock Advisor service, […]
Broad option trading service, buying and selling puts and calls, and offering options strategies and education.
Focuses on choosing dividend-paying stocks. (Newsletter has been closed).
When I first started Stock Gumshoe, the teaser ads from the Motley Fool were part of the inspiration — I saw those pitches (at the time it was buying the stock that looks like the “next Dell” or buying the “New American Superbrand” that’s shaking up the retail landscape), and I wanted to know what […]
Today we’ve got another pitch from the Motley Fool to look at, all about Tom Gardner’s “Latest stock pick” … so can we figure out what it might be? Let’s check out the clues, Gumshoe-style. It’s a brief pitch that’s trying to lure you into subscribing to Motley Fool Stock Advisor with their regular “you’re […]
Looks for “special opportunity” investments in deep value or unknown stocks, orphaned spinoffs, mergers and the like. (Newsletter is defunct).
Aims to recommend the “absolute best dividend-paying stocks trading on Canadian exchanges,” launched in early 2017. Offers one Canadian pick each month, and one US pick each quarter, plus a stock watch list.
Upgrade service from Fool Canada which recommends a large portfolio of microcap stocks for long-term growth.
High-end newsletter focused on digital assets like cryptocurrency, including recommendations and “how-to” guides.
Usually when you hear “little-known Canadian stock” you think, “hey, that’s probably some miner lying about their assay samples out of a storefront office in Vancouver” … but this one’s a little different. To start with, it’s not a mining stock, and has nothing to do with gold or tar sands or pipelines or any […]
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 […]
Another Motley Fool growth stock to sniff out for you today … David Gardner has gotten a reputation as a compelling “rule breaking” growth stock picker over the past few decades, with some huge winners chosen (and held through very tumultuous times) as he built the Motley Fool with his brother Tom. The flagship Motley […]
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 […]
“It’s not some new type of nuclear bomb… It’s not a secret stealth drone army… (We’ve already seen plenty of those lately)… And it’s definitely not some crazy Area 51 mad-scientist experiment. “To tell you the truth, it’s the furthest thing from a killing machine that you could possibly imagine. But its 41 million moving […]
“This is the only company in the online higher education industry that’s creating a win-win for everyone. Which means it’s the only one with long-term staying power. The sad truth is, most online colleges exist for one simple purpose. To suck away federal loan dollars from Uncle Sam. These “diploma mills” don’t even care whether […]
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 […]
The Foolies are out in force with another ad for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, we’re on vacation this week so I’m not putting together brand new articles but I reminded you about their “#1 Stock Across the Motley Fool Universe” yesterday … and today we’ll remind you about the other pick they’re pitching in […]
Your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is on vacation this week and celebrating Independence Day, but we’ve gotten so many questions about this pick that we can’t resist sharing it with you. Again. The Motley Fool has hyped up this same pick several times this year — quite profitably so far, though I’ve not been along for […]
About a month ago I wrote a Friday File for the Irregulars that was based on a pitch the Motley Fool was making for an Internet banking company — it was all about how bricks and mortar are dead, and about how a prescient “mysterious investor” at the Motley Fool had a history of picking […]
The Motley Foolies are running an ad this week that teases us about a stock Warren Buffett has been buying — his “new toy” is something in the oil services business, and they’re calling it a “no brainer”. Like many of their recent ads, this one’s signed by someone other than the Gardner brothers who […]
It’s been a very long time since I’ve looked at a teaser from the Motley Fool’s Hidden Gems service — that’s the “small cap value” newsletter which used to be run by Tom Gardner. It’s now edited by Andy Cross over at the Motley Fool, and has dropped some of the “value focus” but still […]
Travis, you’ve probably written about this, from Motley Fool, but I’ve only just noticed it. Is it just wireless / mobile in general , or do they get more specific? ”The days of paying for costly software upgrades are numbered. The PC will soon be obsolete. And BusinessWeek reports 70% of Americans are already using […]
I was all set to write up a little teaser from someone else, but then this latest pitch from the Motley Fool crossed my desk and, well, it’s exactly the kind of thing that Gumshoe readers are going to be asking about. So look out below, here some some answers! The tease is from Joe […]
Dozens of folks have been asking me about this latest teaser for “Motley Fool One”, which is yet another Motley Fool service that aims to upgrade folks’ relationship with the Fool — they’ve progressed to running “real money” portfolios in recent years, investing the Fool’s own corporate portfolio, and having more interactive stuff like the […]
Financial Advisory and planning service from the Motley Fool, broad focus and more advisory than typical newsletters, also includes interviews with pundits across and outside the Fool analyst corps. Gives you access to all of the premium Motley Fool US and international services, except for Mogul.
I don’t generally “pick on” the same newsletter two days in a row … but, well, the folks at Motley Fool Rule Breakers are filling up the e-waves with their ads, Gumshoe readers are pleading for answers, and we aim to please. So today we’re sniffing out the pick that the Foolies tell us we […]
Now THIS is a fun ad. Jeremy Phillips is the Chief Technology Officer at the Motley Fool, and he starts off their new ad with a great quote: “I plan to get rich on Wednesday morning — care to join me?” Well … yeah. Isn’t that why we’re all fretting over our investments, saving precious […]
That’s our pitch today — that the new “themed” technology investments being teased by the Motley Foolians are as good as David Gardner’s push for AOL and Amazon.com back in the days before the Motley Fool published their current Stock Advisor newsletter. The ad letter actually comes in from a different Fool employee, Todd Etter, […]
I have to give the Motley Fool Rule Breakers folks credit on this one — they’ve been touting this stock consistently for just about two and a half years now, and it has, despite the fact that it always looks kind of expensive, refused to spend much time going down during that time. But every […]
