I know that there are several of you, loyal Gumshoe readers to the core, who nonetheless have lives to live and work to do … and though I’m sure it pains you, I know not all of you can read each of my articles every day.

Be secure, good brothers and sisters, that this secret shame need not lead to a failure to consume all the Gumshoe goodness you might wish … for today, I bring you … well, some reruns.

These are the teasers that I’ve written about before, but which continue to come in via emailed questions to me by the handful every day … so I’m sure most of you missed one or two of them. As you sit down on this lovely Saturday to enjoy some Gumshoeliciousiness, I hope you enjoy every drop:

Let’s see, what shall we share today?

There’s the geothermal play that’s supposed to shock Sheik Khalifa and OPEC with their big Utah “discovery.” … that one’s down about 20% from when I started seeing this most recent campaign back in late April.

And the ubiquitous “Unclaimed Dividends” teaser that implies you can receive free money just for filling out a two-page form is, naturally, still getting a lot of play and sending a lot of “Huh?” questions my way.

And Georges Yared is still going crazy touting his “next Visa,” which, rather incongruously, is a small medical device developer that’s seeking FDA approval for a skin cancer detection tool. This stock has been booming despite my lack of enthusiasm, (though it dipped 10% or so late last week and is a bit lower than where Yared last touted it,) and I know a lot of you are following the company closely.

Of course, we’re still seeing plenty of Mark Skousen’s stuff, too — recently he’s again been telling us that we can “Double our money and profit from the subprime meltdown” … that company has seemingly been trying to halve our money, not double it, since I wrote about this ad campaign of his back in February (it’s down 20% or so, and is 40%+ down from year-ago highs), but perhaps that will just make it easier to double it later.

Those are just a few of the nuggets that continue to overflow my inbox — have a wonderful Saturday, wherever you are, and don’t forget to be kind to us Fathers tomorrow.
