Weekend Rerun: One Stock to Own for the Next Ten Years
February 1st, 2008 by StockGumshoeChange the text size:
I’ve seen this email crop up again many more times this week, so I thought I’d share it with the faithful Gumshoe readership again as a little weekend bonus … hopefully I’ll have a chance to get some new stuff sleuthed out for you before the Super Bowl, too, but you never know.
This one is from Inside Value at the Motley Fool, and it’s a teaser that essentially talks about the value that you can now find in megacap companies. But more importantly, from my perspective, it goes into great detail on a teaser stock that they’ve been teasing for at least two or three years now (during which time it has about doubled, if my memory serves). I’ve written about this same teaser several times, most recently just a couple months ago, so I apologize if it’s a repeat for you … but hey, it’s the weekend! They call it the “Berkshire Miracle” and the “Next Berkshire Hathaway,” among other things.
So without further ado, click here: Philip Durell from Inside Value’s “One Remarkable Stock to Own Now.”
Have a great weekend, everyone. Oh, and for full disclosure, I do still own this particular stock and I actually was thinking about adding some more with the recent dip in price, but haven’t yet.

Any thoughts on the latest from Penny Seuth about what “fund ” they are touting? They call it the “2.5 Trillion “retirement recovery” fund. I’m having trouble figuring it out so I came to the expert. Love your stuff by the way.

Hi Chris — that sounds like the big sovereign wealth fund teaser that’s been going around, I wrote about it here: http://www.stockgumshoe.com/2008/01/lifeboat-stocks-lifted-by-secret-25.html
And Jim, I have seen that one but haven’t looked into it yet. There are quite a few small royalty-based “mining” firms, I’ll try to get to it soon and see if there are some specific ideas worth investigating.

Is stansberryresearch.com a reputable publisher of email service providers. I made the mistake of subscribing to two of their services and now my email is overflowing with what appear to be different companies publishing different newsletter offering advice on how to become a millionaire in the matter of five to ten years. However, when I go down to the very bottom of the email well over half of them seem to be affiliated with stanfsberryresearch.com
Thanks,
Jerry

Comment for Jerry and G Imburg. I’m one of their subscribers to two products. The jury’s still out for me on them. They are inexpensive, but on the other hand their attitude is that if you are dumb enough to buy our marketing that’s your problem, and they seem to have few ethics about it. Unfortunately, some of their readers tend to agree, which just eggs them on, though it also frames the debate. According to one of their editors, Porter Stansberry, he was apparently sued by the SEC for a report he made, hasn’t extricated himself and feels it’s very unfair that he be accused of whatever they claimed, and writes in detail about it. (So check out his comments about it.) Things like that reveal their attitude about their product and marketing, so that’s why you get a zillion of their teasers. They have to sell it to survive and are unapologetic about it.

A note to Jerry and Bart: Their latest tactic is to brag about how much taxes they are paying. The implication is they are making money hand over fist, and if you come along for the ride, you will to. FAIR COMMENT: I think their self images are a bit overbloated and pompous, and they dont take well to criticism for their half baked ideas. Most of my controversil posts are designed to enccourage the readers to think for themselves with the tools the market gives you, both technicals and fundamentals. The lesson learned is that these self styled gurus screw up big time. Prediction is a tough game. Your skills will increase as the light bulb gets brighter.

i followed porters advice on SOLM who lost a court battle with toyota along with my money that was “sure to go into the stratosphere”It was a while ago it could have been Skousen`s pick.But I really like these guys in the long run.Like G IMBURG says,buyer beware! I did have a chace to get out,I just thought that they might win the court battle. I should have known better wit the info I had and invested less. O well I learned that the greed will get you.Porter says never invest more than 4% of your portfolio and use 25% trailing stop.You will never lose more than 1%.That rulw would have saved me.I had like 25% invested.LIVE AND LEARN
