Wholly Unreliable Gumshoe Predictions … plus a few from Hilary Kramer
I’ve had quite a number of folks write in and ask about Hilary Kramer’s predictions for 2011 — she’s bullishly yelling about buying stocks in her ads right now, and pitching several “super stocks” for 2011 that you should buy before Christmas and, naturally, we’d like to know what they are, yes? This is how […]

Though the “secret” stock behind this teaser has been identified many times in the comments here and elsewhere, I continue to get a lot of questions about the “Serbian king’s gold” — so since I wrote this one up in a Friday File for the Irregulars about two weeks ago I can now share my […]

This is the latest teaser ad from Brian Hicks for his $20 Trillion Report, which teases us about a new idea in fracking technology that will release more oil and gas with lower environmental costs … all you have to do to learn about his favorite small cap oil stock is to subscribe to his […]
42 Comments Read More“Box” Your Gold Stocks … and find “an extremely rare opportunity”
After several years of touting (and sometimes teasing) microcap mining stocks for subscribers of Stansberry’s super-expensive Phase 1 newsletter, Matt Badiali is launching a new letter that focuses on these small stocks, picks that he says are too small and volatile for his inexpensive S&A Resource Report letter. This letter is called the S&A Junior […]

Today we come back once again to our old friend Louis Navellier — largely because he’s pitching something that my readers ask me about all the time, a way to get a decent income yield from a mining stock (most of which, despite all the teasers about gold stocks that pay dividends, have tiny yields […]

Well, we have here today another of those stinkin’ teaser ad “presentations” that doesn’t allow access direct to the transcript … so I’ve got to listen to the whole dang thing. Never doubt how much I love you, dear Gumshoe Faithful! Here’s the pitch from the Sovereign Society, from Jeff Opdyke (he’s teasing to tempt […]

Dr. David Eifrig is one of the Stansberry writer/editors, and for a couple of years now he has put out the Retirement Millionaire newsletter that seems to be largely focused on ways to get special perqs and discounts as a retireee … as well as a bit of financial commentary and ideas, I’m told (I […]

I’ve noted a few times in this space that there are some “old tech” companies that have my interest right now — one of them is Corning (GLW), which I bought a month or two ago, and the other that kept coming to the top of my list is Xerox (XRX), so I picked up […]
Leave a comment Read MoreBuying Sandstorm’s Sister
With Sandstorm Resources being among my larger personal stock holdings, I tend to keep a pretty close eye on what they’re doing. I also had a small holding in Sandstorm Metals and Energy, the company they spun out earlier this year to be a commodity “streaming” type of royalty company for base metal and energy […]

The Motley Fool folks have been using the “3 Kings of Cloud Computing” special report to pitch David Gardner’s Rule Breakers newsletter for a couple years now, and have occasionally even given away all three of those stock picks for free as part of their “give us your email” list building exercises — but I […]
21 Comments Read MoreSo How about that Serbian King’s Gold?
This week the competition for the Gumshoe’s attention has been fierce, with two of the largest publishers blanketing the internet with aggressive ads that are getting many of my readers all hot and bothered. The first of those I covered yesterday, so now the second comes — yesterday was Frank Curzio and his Manganese “outer […]

Those who’ve been with the Gumshoe for a while know that it’s tough to top Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor for marketing that uses over-the-top hyperbole about tiny biotech and mining stocks, and creative names that obscure the truth behind their investments — that doesn’t seem to have changed much with the new(ish) guy at the […]

I’ve really been enjoying the Elliott Gue teaser ads lately, his copywriters have been throwing out some good stories about conspiracies and backroom deals — my favorite recent one was when he was telling us that he thought the Rockefellers would take over a certain deepwater drilling company a few months ago, and today’s ad […]

Nothing pushes investors to sign up for a newsletter subscription like urgency … that’s why the copywriters are trained to tap into the reptilian greed centers in our brains and tell us that this unbelievable, hot, stupendous stock market opportunity is only available for a few precious moments so you really simply must sign up […]

“You’ll Be a Walmart Millionaire Within 18–24 Months!”
That headline comes from the top of the latest teaser ad from Roger Conrad for his Canadian Edge newsletter — and he usually recommends relatively sedate high-income investments like utilities and Canadian trusts, which made the pitch for this idea stand out as a bit extra-hypey for him … and therefore, of course, I wanna […]
