Before I get into today’s thoughts about New Flyer and some similar income securities, I should just mention that two of the stocks I’ve profiled as “Idea of the Month” picks reported news-heavy earnings today — one spectacular and including a dividend increase and a 10% jump in the share price, one terrible, including a […]

“Buy Gold for $1” (a taste of the Friday File)
Readers often ask me, “What do you get for joining the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars?” — so this is by way of a partial answer. The Irregulars, the paying members of Stock Gumshoe, get a little extra commentary: a new article most Fridays that I call the Friday File, and one analysis per month of an […]

Peter Schiff is apparently not scaling back his brokerage work much to manage his Senate Campaign, despite the hit that his campaign took in the polls when Senator Dodd decided to retire rather then run for reelection (probably any of the candidates, including Schiff or Linda McMahon, could have beaten Dodd … beating the much […]

This one came through my floodgates largely as a promo run to the subscribers of the free Bourbon and Bayonets newsletter from Oakshire Financial (second only to Whiskey and Gunpowder for the title that best brings up flannel shirts, gold, freeze-dried food and assault weapon survivalist imagery — personally, I’d rather subscribe to Whiskey and […]

“The Comeback Stock of 2010” Mark Skousen
It’s been quite a while since I looked at anything by Mark Skousen, but I had quite a number of queries about this teaser ad last week … and I confess, it piqued my interest a bit, too. So what is his “Comeback Stock of 2010?” Well, he’d be happy to tell you, of course […]

Investors always worry about the so-called “value trap,” a company that looks cheap but will forever remain cheap, luring investors in with a low PE ratio and miring them in the muck for years as they wait for others to see the “value” — sometimes we’ll also see “dividend traps,” where stocks entice investors with […]

“One Technology Can Keep America from Going Dark” (Money Map VIP Trader)
I was just puttering around this morning, trying to decide which ebullient and/or egregious teaser ad to focus on, when a new one came rolling in across the virtual transom … and it looked like just the thing to wake a Gumshoe up, so let’s dig in! The ad is from Horacio Marquez for his […]

Well, I’ve gotten a big ‘ol boatload of questions about this ad from Robert Hsu, so let’s dig in. The teaser is for his Asia Edge newsletter, the expensive and somewhat more flexible letter that he edits — Hsu’s “entry level” newsletter is China Strategy, which focuses on US-listed ADRs of Chinese companies, but Asia […]

“The New Industrial Super-Material that Could Replace Plastic and Steel” (Eric Roseman)
I haven’t written about any of the teaser ads from Eric Roseman of The Sovereign Society for a couple months, but this one caught my eye — and, clearly, the eyes of a great number of my readers (who are, in case I haven’t reminded you lately, the smartest, best-lookin’ and most insightful folks in […]
22 Comments Read More“Buy Gold for $1” — Outside the Stock Market
Today I’ve been getting a lot of questions from folks about the latest teaser for Mike Williams’ True Income newsletter from Stansberry & Associates. The ad is a pretty brief one, compared to others, and it focuses on something that I’ve written about before in this space — corporate debt. Yes, I’m afraid I just […]

Lots of folks have been asking about this pitch from Alternative Energy Speculator, a newsletter that has brought us a few interesting ideas (and, of course, a few duds) in the past. At the moment they’re charging about $500 for a year’s subscription, and clearly there are a lot of folks who’d like to learn […]

I don’t end up writing about Jon Markman very often — he does a lot of marketing for his newsletter, but he rarely teases specific companies in his ads, he does a lot of short term (for me, at least) trading and uses ETFs for his core trading ideas, it seems … but he does […]

“‘Inevitable’ disaster erases 117 years of American progress…” Motley Fool
This teaser starts, as so many of them do, by drawing a picture of the horrible future that a chosen stock can prevent … “On a hot summer day, just after the sun reaches its highest point, it begins… “Within minutes, cell phones go silent.
