Stock Gumshoe

We haven’t heard much from Greg McCoach in the last few months — not a big surprise, perhaps, since the middle of this year saw the decline of pretty much every single mining stock and hard commodity, and those are the things he covers in his Mining Speculator newsletter.

But now, he’s got a little wedge to drive in to at least get your attention. It’s hard to fire up the greed for iron ore, or copper, or little startup mining companies right now … but he can at least get your attention when he promises a new way to profit from gold.

Perhaps it’s an indication of how hard it is to get subscribers for a mining stock newsletter now, but he’s also apparently cut the price of his relatively inexpensive Mining Speculator newsletter (doesn’t seem like he’s pushing his $2,000 newsletter, the “Insider Alert” much at all these days).

We needn’t feel sorry for him, however, since with this ad he’s trying to sell something that one can fairly easily learn about for free. Let the learning commence!

Here’s some of the sell copy from this latest ad, which I started receiving on Friday: Read the rest of this entry »

This is a recent teaser from Greg McCoach, who writes the Mining Speculator for Angel publishing and also has a new service that tracks his personal portfolio. We looked at the first stock he teased from the eight he chose for his initial personal portfolio, but now he’s teasing another one … let’s check it out.

That first one, by the way, the “Rupert’s Paradise” silver mine owner, has fallen over the last three months even as Silver, it’s main ore target in that mine, is up about 20%. McCoach has picked some good performers in the past, though it’s been about a year since he had a teaser pick that really performed (he isn’t covered by Hulbert’s and I don’t have access to his portfolio, so I have no idea what his overall performance is … he claims, not surprisingly, that’s it’s super duper awesome). The subscription you’ll need to pick up if you want his full report on this company is Greg McCoach’s Insider Alert, which will run you about $2,000 (on special markdown from $3,000, of course).

Or if you just want the name of the company and some Gumshoe blathering, read on! Read the rest of this entry »

This is a teaser that has been around before, but the whole lead and urgent emotional appeal have changed quite a bit — so I thought it worthy of some comment.

This is for Greg McCoach’s Insider Alert … and they want you to be very afraid (”afraid” is particularly good for precious metals investors).

The headline is frightening, indeed: “FDIC Gearing Up For a Large Read the rest of this entry »
