Since the other part of today’s Friday File is all about a biotech stock tease, I thought I’d start out this week’s look at my Real Money Portfolio stocks in that sector. I avoid the drug developers, for the most part, but health care should be a huge sector and a growing one, in general, […]

Today I’ve got a few portfolio moves to share with you that go against the Wall Street mantra (“sell your losers, let your winners run”)… last night I sold my position in Kweichow Moutai in China — this is a fantastic company, mostly because they have insanely high profit margins on their signature Moutai liquor… […]
Today I’m breaking up our Friday File into two segments, which many of you have noted that you prefer — one part is a teaser pitch solution, the other is an update on a few stocks that I own and/or have suggested to the Irregulars. The teaser pitch is a look into Cabot’s “Stock of […]
Gold remains one of the most discussed investment themes of the year, with the price of the yellow metal bumping up and down between $900 and $1,000 an ounce — and I hold some gold and some gold mining stocks as well, but it is, in any decent economy, a terrible investment. I consider holding […]
Thoughts from Myron—Buyable Dip As The Market Roller Coaster Ride Continues[Ed Note: Myron Martin writes for the Irregulars primarily about junior miners. As always, he has agreed to our trading restrictions, chooses his own topics and his words are his own. Myron is Canadian, and most of the prices and dollar amounts cited are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Enjoy!] With 4 months’ accumulation of data, […]
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 […]
MAKE YOUR PORTFOLIO GREAT AGAIN ! This thread is a continuation of several threads posted previously by the author on gold and silver and hard asset investments. I am still a believer in hard assets. I also believe we are entering a period of inflation with continued dollar devaluation, higher interest rates, and a sluggish […]
Indulge me for a moment, dear reader — I’m going to wander around thinking about valuation and about short selling, then get into talking about a current situation that closely mirrors some of the long/short pairs trades I’ve done in the past year or so. Then we’ll talk some about gold, since that seems to […]

There’s been quite a bit going on in the companies that I follow both personally and for the Irregulars, so I want to check in on a few of these today — I’ll be taking at least a quick look at Sandstorm Metals and Sandstorm Gold, Invensense, Xerox, and maybe some other stuff will leak […]
Gold remains one of the most discussed investment themes of the year, with the price of the yellow metal bumping up and down between $900 and $1,000 an ounce — and I hold some gold and some gold mining stocks as well, but it is, in any decent economy, a terrible investment. I consider holding […]

A few updates and thoughts to share with you on this fine May Friday, starting with a more detailed look a the new healthcare-related stock that I added to my portfolio a little while ago and haven’t discussed much yet. That stock is Premier, Inc. (PINC), a truly generic name for a pretty interesting company. […]
I’ve got a handful of updates for you, including one on a stock that I bought yesterday and a few other notes about recent quarterly reports from stocks I follow, but first … a teaser to solve … When I wrote about Marc Lichtenfeld’s pitch for “Spread Trusts” yesterday, I promised to also try to […]
I’ve got some notes (mostly brief, I hope) to share about the various quarterly earnings reports that have hit my Real Money Portfolio stocks this week… but I have gotten a pile of reader questions so I wanted to start with a look at Sandstorm Gold (SAND), which announced a pretty big deal earlier in […]
[ed note: New readers may not know Myron Martin, who wrote a column mostly about junior miners for our readers in 2013 and 2014. He’s hoping to get back to writing more for us now, and this is his first piece in about a year for the Irregulars. As with all our guest columnists, he has […]
Ed. note: Here is another installment from longtime reader Myron Martin. Myron has agreed to our trading restrictions (he won’t trade the stocks he mentions for three days), but we have not reviewed, approved or screened his stocks or ideas, and the opinions he expresses are solely his own. Myron’s past commentaries can be seen […]
Gold looks to be headed higher even with a strong dollar so what are the best ways to play the next bull run in gold? I know Travis has (SAND) in his portfolio but I’d like to know his thoughts as well as yours. Do long term call options make sense for more leverage? I’d […]
I’ve just opened up some small positions in a couple gold miners that have been teased a bit of late — Minefinders and Hill End Gold, both touted within the last couple weeks. This remains a small part of my portfolio, and I consider it to be the speculative end of the “inflation fear” part […]

This ad caught the attention of a lot of Gumshoe readers over the weekend, which isn’t surprising — it’s filled with promise: “One of the world’s top geologists makes an $80,000 bet… “Now It’s About to Turn Into a $10.1 Billion Gold Mine “And give you the rare opportunity to ‘buy’ gold for 17 cents […]
I cover Peter Schiff in this space from time to time, mostly because he sends out a newsletter every few months and includes some teaser picks that often sound interesting — of course, he runs a brokerage firm, not a newsletter, so he wants you to get a sales pitch from one of his brokers […]
I’ve never heard of David Skarica before, but I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for his stuff lately — he runs a newsletter called Gold Stock Adviser, and like so many others, he predicts that the bulge in US Government spending and borrowing makes inflation inevitable … and that the “gold rush is just […]

This ad is another one that piggybacks on Peter Schiff — as they did a few months ago, the folks at the Money Map Report are trying to sell their newsletter subscription by giving away a copy of one of Schiff’s books as part of the deal — and their promise is quite similar to […]
Well, the gold price seems to be recovering slightly this morning after a few days of backtracking once it got close to the $1,000 level again … so it’s time to look at another gold ad, no? Today’s feature is an ad for the Big Gold service from Casey Research, edited by Jeff Clark (there […]
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 — […]
That’s the promise of the latest teaser ad from the Penny Mining Speculator, Chuck de Castro’s pricey newsletter ($5,200 a year) that shoots for the moon using little mining companies with great potential. We’ve looked at de Castro’s stuff a few times before — he turned us on to a tiny oil stock that did […]
Eric Roseman is at it again, it appears — a few months ago I wrote about an ad of his that was based on some very sketchy assumptions, an ad that promised you could buy gold for a $600/ounce discount. There was a little truth to it, of course, but not $600 worth … and […]
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” […]
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 […]

The folks at Stansberry & Associates have apparently made a deal with John Doody, who has for many years written a well-respected stock advisory service on gold miners. He thinks that gold miners should have a great year in 2009 … but the tease, of course, is that there’s a $4 gold stock that is at the top of his list right now. So what is it?
Here’s what I can’t tell you: Where the price of gold is going. Here’s what I can tell you: Over the past several weeks, as investor enthusiasm for gold clearly reached the melting point in a big price spike to near $900, I’ve seen almost every gold teaser in the book. Gold is down a bit again today, but the gold bugs are still out in force and certain that they will be vindicated when inflation and dollar devaluation finally rear their ugly heads. What do the experts say now?
We haven’t heard much from Greg McCoach in the last few months — not a big surprise, perhaps, since the middle of this year saw the decline of pretty much every single mining stock and hard commodity, and those are the things he covers in his Mining Speculator newsletter. But now, he’s got a little […]
“After 98 years of secrecy, the greatest economic conspiracy in history is finally unfolding.” “Learn how you could turn $5,000 into $100,000 (or more) by 2009 with this safe and simple profit/protection plan…” That’s how this latest ad opens, with the threat that the 98-year-old “Jeckyl Island Project” economic conspiracy will ruin your retirement — […]
Those of you who have long toiled in the dusty, grimy classrooms of Gumshoe University will probably recognize this one — it’s an ad that has been around for years, with adjustments and variations depending on the market’s pulse and on the price of gold. The essential promise is that Steve Sjuggerud has found a […]
This one has been around for quite some time, but I thought many of my newer Gumshoe friends might have missed it. It’s a teaser for Agora’s Outstanding Investments newsletter — which is their cheapest one at $49 a year. But hey, even at $49 a year, why pay if you don’t want the newsletter? […]
“Last week everything was going down the drain, and now everything’s perfect” — that’s a comment I heard on CNBC this morning, facetious though it was, that goes a long way toward mirroring the movement in gold prices. Last week armageddon was coming and everyone wanted to own gold, today maybe the world financial system […]
