Well, I’ve gotten a big ‘ol boatload of questions about this ad from Robert Hsu, so let’s dig in. The teaser is for his Asia Edge newsletter, the expensive and somewhat more flexible letter that he edits — Hsu’s “entry level” newsletter is China Strategy, which focuses on US-listed ADRs of Chinese companies, but Asia […]

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.
I’ve gotten a few questions about the new “True Alpha” pitch from Charles Mizrahi that uses “David and Goliath” imagery, so we’re checking that one out today… mostly because the idea of this firm having “a virtual monopoly on the future of 5G and IoT” piqued my interest. Mizrahi’s letter extols his past success in […]
So many people are asking me about the election results that I feel like I should share some of my opinions — but the short answer is: I can’t help it, stock prices that fall make me want to buy more stock. Stocks fell a bit after the election. And I bought some more today. […]
“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 […]
OK, OK — the most asked-about teaser ad this week has been Karim Rahemtulla’s pitch about Cypriot natural gas for his newly launched newsletter … so although the clues are thin and the presentation was tiresome to listen to, your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is digging in. But it’s only because I love you. The new […]
#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 […]
Today I thought I’d finally take a look at the “warrior antibodies” teaser that’s been circulating for a few weeks now — I know a few of my readers have already figured this one out, but I continue to get questions about this tease every day. So … answers? The teaser is that there’s a […]
Today I’m sniffing out a solution to a teaser that is just a couple sentences long — not really a “hyped to the moon” stock like so many I write about, but one that sounded interesting to me (and to enough of my readers that the questions are piling up a little bit). It’s from […]
This one is apparently a newsletter that’s new for US and European investors, but from an advisor who’s been doing research on commodities companies for Aussie subscribers for a number of years. The newsletter is called the Australian Resource and Mining Report, and it’s edited by Dan Denning, which we of course find out on […]
The timing actually works really well for the Friday File this week, because the teaser I want to sniff out for you is for a stock that happens to be insanely small and thinly traded — and I’d feel really bad about the inevitable exaggeration that would come from a mention of this company in […]
Buy this ‘Under $0.50’ Stock by November 1st, 2013 “This is one of the few times in the history of our business we have recommended a company so small and with such high upside potential. A triple-digit gain within the next 12-36 months is highly possible…. “We’ve been vetting the opportunity for nearly two years.” […]
“This $2 American company is threatening a massive Wall Street shakeup handing you the opportunity for… 403% Gains In 3 Months“ Who can resist that pitch, right? The ad comes from Manny Backus for his Penny Stocks Guru service, which has been promoted in the past as a way to buy “safe penny stocks.” An […]
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 […]
This one comes in from Elliott Gue at the Energy Strategist … he’s got four bargains for you to buy, though of course he’d first like to see a $399 subscription payment. And hey, if you’re looking for a newsletter about energy stocks maybe that’s fine for you. From the two teasers I’ve seen from […]
This ad from Ian Wyatt has been running for a little while, with some apparent variation, but he keeps aggressively re-pushing it as a “new” webinar, so our readers keep asking about it, and I haven’t covered the tease yet… so that’s our project for today. What are those top five stocks he keeps teasing? […]
This teaser comes in with Navellier happily boasting that his strategy is on the ascent — that value managers are headed for the exits and growth managers are shooting out the lights … which does certainly appear to be the conventional wisdom these days (value managers, after all, are almost all stuck with huge positions […]
You don’t need me to tell you about the stocks we should probably all be watching — Proctor and Gamble, Coca Cola, Colgate Palmolive, Wal Mart … when they fall, as they have been lately, is the time to think about restocking your larder with the large companies who will continue to dominate the world […]
Matt Badiali and the folks at Stansberry Research are very skilled at using the names of politicians to inspire visceral reactions in readers and get them to read their ads or listen to their sales pitch presentations. Which is, of course, the point — and it doesn’t even really matter which politician’s name they use, […]
Today, for our sleuthing pleasure, we’ll be looking at an email ad that a good number of folks have forwarded to me in just the last couple minutes — here’s how the Motley Fool entices us to start reading … “‘Billion Dollar Blitzkrieg’ “IT’S COMING… And it could make 2010 the most profitable year of […]
Today we look into the teased “Gold-X” from Gerardo Del Real, who writes the Junior Mining Monthly newsletter and calls himself a “Texas gold expert” … his ad promises an easier way to get huge returns on little gold stocks while taking a lot less risk. “Gold-X” seems an odd name for a “secret” investing […]

Solving New Mampilly Teaser: “Could this topple Ford, Toyota, and Tesla?”
Hi Gummies, Are you knowledgeable about electric vehicles and their components? I’m in the midst of a big project at work so I’m throwing this out to any of you who might want to have a go at solving Paul Mampilly’s latest tease. There aren’t too many specific clues. He says that it’s a ”tiny […]
Today I’ll try to keep my blather a little more limited than usual… I have one update on a stock that I bought recently, and a couple updates on our watchlist this week (that list always lingers down there at the bottom of the Real Money Portfolio, in case you’ve missed it). The update is […]
Any thoughts on this teaser from Keith Fitzgerald? Dear Total Wealth Reader, This is a rapidly developing story, so I’ll unfold the details quickly… An unprecedented technology is at the forefront of a breakthrough the Department of Defense considers vital for national security. The U.S. military has conducted rigorous performance trials that prove how it […]
I spent the day on Tuesday at the Delivering Alpha conference, which is hosted by CNBC and Institutional Investor — it’s not the kind of confab that includes “secret” or special ideas that you can’t hear about elsewhere (it’s hosted by CNBC, after all, and they broadcast from the conference all day), but it’s an […]
This is the third time I’ve bought an IPO on its first day of trading, and the second time I’ve bought exposure to a SPAC over the past year — hopefully it will work out as well as the others. I saw Chamath Palihapitiya speak at the Delivering Alpha conference on Tuesday, along with Starwood’s […]
Who can resist that headline? Louis Navellier is peddling his Emerging Growth newsletter by promising a special report called The Stock of the Century… so, naturally, we wanna know what that stock is. And we don’t want to pony up $995 for an Emerging Growth subscription to find out, frankly — if we paid that […]
This latest pitch from the Oxford Club has really caught the attention of Gumshoe readers — lots of questions about this “Jupiter Engine” that will “end global warming” and make all other power plants obsolete… mostly, of course, because it’s also supposed to give you “the retirement of your dreams” as revenue “surges by 4,130%” […]
It’s been a long time since I looked at an Australian teaser pick, so this new pitch for the Motley Fool Australia’s Share Advisor (A$199/yr) caught my eye. The Motley Fool, well known as a US newsletter publisher and investment community/website in the 25 years or so since the Gardner brothers started their AOL chat […]
“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 just listened to one of the most boring sales pitches thrown by Trading Stocks that tries to sell you on three different defense companies all trading near $10.00 a share. One company was for defense against cyber attacks, one was for drones and the third was for aircraft. They are all being pitched as […]
[Ed. Note: Dr. KSS writes about medicine and biotech stocks for the Irregulars. He has agreed to our trading restrictions, and his words and opinions are his own. You can find his bio and his past articles on his Stock Gumshoe page.] “The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and […]
I’m running out of time today, so you get a quickie: Louis Navellier’s latest “stealth buy” promo, solved for your pleasure… but without any real analysis from me. The ad is for Navellier’s Emerging Growth ($995/yr), and it pushes the possibilities of small caps and the particular appeal of one small “secret” $14 stock that […]
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 […]
A few folks have asked about this microcap teaser pitch from Nick Hodge for his Early Advantage newsletter (currently “on sale” for $1,299), so I thought we’d take a quick look today. The teaser has already been solved by at least one reader in our discussion sections, but let’s see if we can confirm that […]
set to take off on Trump’s 30 billion defense budget. Any ideas on this Travis?
What on earth is this about? In return for your subscription money a fellow who is disgruntled with Wall Street and the hedge fund world gives you nine magic digits and then the company involved has to pay you money. For what pray tell, Doc Gumshoe and the gang of gallant irregulars? By punching in […]
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” […]
