Today’s tease has been forwarded by a handful (or a few hands full, I suppose) of curious readers — our teaser is Mitchell Clark for his Penny Stock Reporter, and in exchange for his special recommendation of a Chinese copper stock he’d like you to sign up for a subscription to his newsletter … at […]

Can You Get Rich from “Mobile Royalties?”
This latest teaser ad is all about owning a “piece of an idea” — owning something valuable that gets you royalty payments, or payment for the “rental” of that idea. It’s a little bit similar to the old “Mainz Income” royalties, which were teased as a way to get recurring income that (we were told) […]

Every year, on the day before Thanksgiving, I like to dig through the year’s teasers and try to pick one “favorite” as the Turkey of the Year — sometimes the worst performing pick, sometimes the most ridiculous, sometimes just one that stands out in some other silly or unfortunate way. Last year the Turkey was […]

Bryan Perry is fairly active in teasing ideas to garner new subscribers for his Cash Machine newsletter (formerly called 25% Cash Machine before, one assumes, that promise got to be too much to bear), and some of them have been pretty nice high yielders over the years, so when the questions about his latest tease […]
17 Comments Read More“How Communist Paranoia Could Fund Your Retirement”
Today I’m looking at an ad from Michael Robinson for his American Wealth Underground newsletter, he’s pitching the idea of investing in China’s surveillance state and getting involved in a stock that has tight connections with the government, both of which probably make at least some US investors feel a bit like holding their nose […]
4 Comments Read MoreNovember Idea of the Month: Bringing the Cloud Down to Ground
One of the ideas that I’ve been coming back to again and again is infrastructure — not necessarily just the kind of physical infrastructure that I talked about last month with Ferrovial, or things like power and highways and pipelines, but the basic kind of underlying businesses that keep other businesses operating. And in the […]
11 Comments Read MoreWhat’s the “$1 ‘Silver Shot’ Poised to Skyrocket 12,785%?”
I originally wrote about “Silver Shots” as teased by Zachary Scheidt for his Velocity Trader about a year and a half ago, but much has changed over that time and an extremely similar ad is running right now, so I thought I should give it another look. Here’s how the teaser sounds: “Silver Hits Critical […]

Most of you have probably seen the teasers rolling in from Dr. Kent Moors for The Energy Inner Circle, his new higher-priced and “more exclusive” service that provides weekly updates and buy and sell alerts about his “trigger list” of energy stocks. Most of you have just forwarded me the email ads, which is fine […]

Mark Skousen, who is one of those Ph.D-type doctors (economics) and thankfully doesn’t always insist on being called Dr. Skousen (yes, we’re looking at you Dr. Leeb), is pitching a health care stock today as a teaser for his Forecasts and Strategies newsletter. And like some folks we’ve heard from in the past, he’s teasing […]
28 Comments Read MoreCan You Profit from Africa by Buying a Bank with the Rothschilds?
Before I get into the meat of today’s Friday File article, which plays off of one of the investing themes I feel most strongly about (the long-term growth potential of Africa), I should share a few housekeeping notes regarding my portfolio — I decided to sell Accuray (ARAY) and got stopped out of my position […]
1 Comment Read MoreA $6 Stock for 7 Cents? [Friday File Rerun]
The article excerpted below was originally published here on August 6 as a Friday File for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars. It has not been updated, though the stock is up roughly 10% from that time. (For disclosure, I continue to be interested in the stock, but I haven’t bought the shares and continue to have […]

“Collect a 8.4% Dividend From a Unique American Gold Investment”
Dividends + Gold = Pretty much 99% of the questions I get from readers in any given day, so the headline of this teaser about getting a “8.4% Dividend From a Unique American Gold Investment” from Ian Wyatt for his Small Cap Investor Pro caught my eye: high dividends and gold? Where do I sign […]
18 Comments Read MoreClosing Accuray Position
I can be patient to the point of stubbornness, but Accuray (ARAY) has finally convinced me that they’re never going to become consistently profitable or to grow at the level that their business plan requires, so I’m closing my ARAY position today at a substantial loss. Accuray may well turn into a successful company someday, […]
Leave a comment Read MoreNew deal for Sandstorm
Now we know why Sandstorm Resources raised so much money a few weeks ago: They had a deal cooking. They just agreed to buy 12% of the gold stream from a producing mine (The Black Fox Mine, owned by Brigus Gold) that should have years of production and reserves increases ahead. Terms are not as […]
4 Comments Read MoreHuge MLP Profits from the “Greek Goddess building a global shipping empire?”
Once again today we take a gander at an MLP teaser — this time for the aptly named MLP Profits newsletter ($399, just FYI), with the ad coming in over the signature of Roger Conrad, one of the letter’s editors (Elliott Gue is the other). And the promise is lusty, as always: “You may need […]

Which “Tiny Company” is Patrick Cox Touting for an Alzheimer’s Treatment about to Enter Phase 1 Trials?
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the latest “teaser video” from Patrick Cox for his Breakthrough Technology Alert — it’s the one that starts with a story about how “Robert has Alzheimer’s” and that a “breakthrough” gives him hope. And, of course, Cox will be “forced to remove” the presentation on November 11, […]

I’ve been so overwhelmed with gold and silver teases, and have written about them so many times over the last couple weeks, that I was really prepared to jump on anything that looked a bit more like a “real” company (ie, not just a commodity play or a hyped-up junior miner) … so here comes […]
