I’ve seen this ad in a few different variations, for a couple different related newsletters. The most detailed one was from Ann Sosnowski for the MicroCap HotSheet, which would like you to sign up for a subscription at around $1750 a year. And of course, even if you want to pay that much, they want […]

“Microcap company with an ironclad hybrid car patent”
I got the following as an email message from a reader, wondering if the Stock Gumshoe could track down the company in question: A small U.S. tech company is strongly positioned to score billions in a patent lawsuit against a leader of booming hybrid car industry. Act fast and YOU can get in on this […]

This one comes to us from Peter Stansberry as part of an ad for his Phase 1 Investor service … which he’d like you to subscribe to in exchange for learning about this fabulous company in a special report. In fact, he’s promising that his biotech analyst will reveal the name of this company on […]

I’ve gotten this email myself a few times, and had it forwarded by a few readers — it tells a David and Goliath story about a medical device manufacturer, and it’s trying to sell us on a subscription to Navellier’s Quantum Growth service. Here’s the basics: This inventor came up with a better catheter, one […]
2 Comments Read More“Africa’s $10 Billion Secret”
This one was sent in by dozens of readers, one of whom actually provided the name of the company for followup research — I checked it out, and I think the answer he provided is correct. He wants to remain anonymous, otherwise I’d happily give him credit (as I’ll credit anyone else who correctly sleuths […]

Here’s another one for you — and unlike most of the stocks that I write up here, I’m not 100% certain of this one … but I’m pretty sure. This one came in from a reader (feel free to email me your stock teasers to ilovestockspam@gmail.com, though I can’t promise to get to all of […]

[corrected to fix silly errors that were noted in the comments, sorry. I kept the comments so you can see what a flake I am on occasion] A reader sent this one in a little while ago, but it’s a bit dated — from a New America Investor newsletter ad from Brian Hicks at the […]

Another tease from Robert Hsu and his Chinese stock advisory service, sent in by a reader — this time, the breakthrough is in solar power, and the tease lays the groundwork with two keys: One, China is in desperate need of power (mention Three Rivers Dam, oil exploration in Africa, thirst for growth). They have […]

That’s the most intriguing part of this latest ad I had sent in by a reader — “The World’s Best Oil Stock is Selling for 30 Cents on the Dollar!” The ad comes to us courtesy of Trend Advisor, a newsletter service that, you guessed it, would like you to sign up for a subscription […]

It should come as no surprise that after only a couple weeks of posting my teaser sleuthing on this site, I’m already on my second “next Berkshire Hathaway” — as I’ve written on my other blog several times, and been guilty of myself, the search for the next Warren Buffett is one of the most […]
16 Comments Read More“Stent in a Pill — blockbuster!”
A reader sent this one in recently, and it’s a very short term bet so I’ll type my response up more quickly than usual: Here’s the deal: The Jump Start Package from Volume Spike Alert, whatever that is, wants you to subscribe … and in return, they’ll tell you about the company that has developed […]

This one was sent in by a reader. This is from an ad for the “best of the best” from ChangeWave Research, another newsletter company I’ve heard of but don’t really know much about. One of the things they’re offering to potential investors is a Special Report about “The One Oil Stock You Must Own […]

To anyone who read this in the first hour it was up — apologies! I read the rest of the investment teaser and changed my mind — this has been edited. The email solicitation covered here was sent in by an alert reader, so thanks for that. It was a very brief email, at first […]

This one comes from the Mining Speculator, a newsletter by Greg McCoach that mostly focuses on OTC and Canadian Junior mining stocks. I’ve never subscribed, and I must say I’ve never heard of most of the companies he cites as his huge successes — I just don’t know all that much about the mining sector. […]

The Gardners are at it again, peddling their Motley Fool Stock Advisor Newsletter with the promise of the bonus free report on the “New American Super Brand.” Now I actually like the Motley Fool, and have paid to subscribe to some of their products in the past. But they’ve definitely perfected the insanely long advertising […]

So now that the media tells us that China has had a “meltdown” (though they’re still up nicely just year to date, even with some tough down days), should we still be reading promotional emails from Chinese investment advisors? Sure, why not — they do send out some long and complicated ones … and just […]

Here’s another fun investment advisory teaser stock that’s been making the rounds of my email box — I first saw it several months ago, and the promise has not yet come to fruition (surprise!), but it’s still an interesting idea and an interesting company. The promise is lurid, as usual — comparing this company’s potential […]

The subject line of the email was enticing indeed — “Bigger than Amazon or Ebay!“ So what could it be? Well, if you sign up for the research report from Brian Hicks at Quantum Investor (and consign yourself to a life of “free trials” and endless additional spam emails, perhaps), he’ll tell you. Or, you […]
