Stock Gumshoe

It’s baaaack! Jeff Clark’s Advanced Income investment newsletter is now being sold using yet another ad that has a clever invented name for his strategy — this time, we’re told that you can make a “market commission” on your stock and pull in money from your broker in just ten minutes.

Well, the short answer is, “sort of” — as long as you don’t believe that it’s really completely “Free.”

And the long answer? Well, for that let’s peruse our clues:

Apparently, if you fill out this two-page form before June 12 and send it to your broker, you could get $2,100 on that date after you give your broker “two instructions.”

All you have to add to the form are “name, address, phone number, and a few other basic details.”

Of course, we all know what’s in the details … Read the rest of this entry »

This is a new email that people have been sending my way over the past few hours, but for those of you who’ve been around Gumshoedom for a while it will probably sound familiar.

The ad is for Jeff Clark’s Advanced Income service from Stansberry & Associates, and it touts two special reports that describe options trading strategies that he uses to make money for his subscribers.

The first is “Quick Draws”, which are a way of pulling lump sums of income out of stocks on a regular basis. By the description, this must be exactly the same call-selling strategy that he’s Read the rest of this entry »
