Description
Um, that’s the site you’re on right now — sleuthing out and tracking teaser picks, and discussing it all, that’s us. Clearly, reviews of this site on this site are probably biased. We also have a paid membership option (the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars — you can review that separately if you like).

101 Comments on "Stock Gumshoe"
STOCK GUMSHOE — I’m new to the whole stock thing. So I found it quite cool to read your artical where U named the little stock (INAP) that they wanted $5000 from me for. So I guess U can say I’m your newest fan & will sign up for your news letter. PS — INAP is listed on 2 differant exchanges with dirrerant info — NASDAQ & NYSE arca — Whats that all about ?
I sandbagged on the free newsletters for a month and then decided to support Travis since it was worth the $49 a year just for the education and the occasional chuckle when you realize which stock the promoter is talking about. I have been a penny stock picker for years but it was always a tough slog to find out information on some stocks. Travis seems to have a real knack for churning through the mountains of worthless information and zeroing in on a few relevant facts. Keep up the good work.
Dear Mr. Gumshoe,
The volume of praise evident here for your esteemed self, and the formidable Thinkolator [ TM ] says it all. It has quite obviously been ***earned***. All I can add is that the man’s, (and also the fiendishly brilliant Thinkolator’s!) integrity come shining through. You must be doing something very right to be scooping up such an avalanche of unqualified praise from members new and old. Please remember to keep feeding the Thinkolator prime raw steak tartare (or whatever it eats) to keep it well nourished and in fighting trim! =:-)

I too found your website a few years ago looking for financial letters. One of the few sites that also has “Canadian” content :-). Travis thanks for all the great snooping, as well as all the information you and the members provide. As a novice investor, I have learned a lot :-).Well worth your lifetime membership 🙂
Wonderful site, so glad that someone smart actually has the brains and the guts to decipher the newsletters out there and tell the world the $$$-news. I have been very impressed with the analysis of the teasers and the down-to-earth explanations of the varied stocks featured.
The best, the cheapest, the most interestingly written…and a great resource for checking any stock anywhere……unbiased reporting with detailed information. Thank you.
All articles and commentary from Gumshoe are written with intelligence, objectivity, insight and and clarity. Oh yes, and honesty..!
What more can one ask for?
I subscribed to the newsletter 4 months ago. The picks are excellent and the reading is interesting and educational. So far I can only say thumbs up.
When we write a review we like to see, and edit it right away, not days later, or not at all, like happens on the Stock Gumshoe website. Very un-user friendly.
When we request changes to previous posts they never happen. Sometimes it can be days before a web page will even load to post a review in the first place. The cashed versions of the Stock Gumshoe show up blank from Google.
I have fun reading your free newsletter.
Too, I have bought from time-to-time some of the teased stocks for which you have sleuthed the name and symbol, Some have been winners, some not.
As ever, melking125@yahoo.com
Where can I find a list of newsletters with their track record? It took really long time for me to determine which are the good stock newsletters and I paid for it. Any list with rating will be helpful.
I run my blog http://www.mywealthyoptions.blogspot.com. It has about 100 hits everyday. As I am in the process of paid subscription, any suggestions will be helpful.
StockGumshoe used to be very good site with frequent updates. However, something bad is happening to it. The updates become much less frequent. My emails are unanswered. The number of new reviews is shrinking. Since the site redesign, it is much more difficult to navigate.
And everyone can just post a comment and rerate the service. I posed a review of 10ppm with my ratings. Everyone who responded just kept giving it 5 stars which impacted the average rating dramatically. The whole concept has to be changed – look how Investimonials do it.

Great site. So many sharks trying to sell free information.
keep up the good work…value cannot be better
This site is so much fun to read. At the same time it is telling it how it is. I’ve been reading it for two years by now and I am proud to announce I am one of the famous Irregulars for about one year. I am learning so much. Thank You!!!
An enlightening service, plus no one else has use of the patent pending Thinkolator. Value at twice the price!
this is ONE OF THE VERY BEST SERVICES i’ve ever subscribed to(and i’ve been subscribing for 20 years to various things costing upwards of $500 per annum). Bravo, Mr Johnson!
(and bravo, custpom,er srvc: responded in LESS THAN AN HOUR to a login question that I had).
I love this letter. I’ve made several great investments based on teases deduced by the Thinkolator.
Uniques in the annals of financial newsletters and the best value of all.

The Best [ including the Irregulars price] Rated mostly 4s as I only hit the cheapo info I want about 1/2 the time.
This website has been a Godsend. As a rookie investor who has found himself getting caught up in the hype of teasers in my first go around of dabbling in stocks years ago and lost, I find it easier to practice restraint by what the Doc says about the stock that is being teased. I have also found Myron’s articles very informative. I appreciate everything about the offerings here and actually find it refreshing that we get all this for less that the cost of newspaper. Thank you

Refreshingly honest, and still able to maintain a good sense of humor whether the markets are up, down, or stagnant.
I’d like to know if anyone knows the “10 Forever stocks” touted by the Street Authority Daily? I do know that three of them are: Intel, Google and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP). These are supposedly stocks that one can keep for a lifetime.
“A number that turns $100,000 into $2,739,303.” Does anyone have any idea what Motley Fool is talking about?
Stock Gumshoe is by FAR the BEST investment subscription I have EVER made. And for what? $49/year to join the Best and Most savvy investors on this plant! What a steal. Thank you Travis 🙂 Best2All-Ben
virt?
Best $’s ever spent. Will be a subscriber for life, either me or the Gumshoe’s. Lifetime member, would re-up again if Gumshoe ever requested it to keep going!
This is the BEST newsletter that I have found on the internet. ALL the other newsletters seem to want one thing, your money. I had five subscriptions going back four years and now have only two. I continue to get e-mails from several of these dollar-clowns offering everything from big bucks to friendship to a lifetime of wonderfulness. There is only one Travis, nothing else to say.
This is a vital addition to the Stock Newsletter world. So useful!
great reporting and insight without an overall agenda except objective analysis. Best I’ve seen plus the commentary from fellow readers is invaluable.
I like your research. You’ve saved me from making a mistake several times.
Travis, you opened my eyes to so many scams and so much bad info that’s in my inbox everyday. I used to spend hours trying to run down the stocks these crooks were hawking, now I just go to your tease section and you have them figured. You da man!
Travis’ insight is spot on and his outline of various stocks is always most helpful.
I’ve been an irregular for less than a year and have thoroughly enjoyed the mailings although I don’t always read everyone completely. Not impressed with Travis’s investment record (appreciate his honest recounting) but really appreciate his gumshoe work. And great customer service. Great value!
Thanks John — not so impressive lately, indeed… I’ve been mostly in line with the S&P 500 over the past couple years, but at least I spend a lot of time thinking and gnashing my teeth to get those returns 🙂
Thanks for your comment (and honesty).
When not subscribed to irregulars, I always check headlines of Stock Gumshoe to see if I want to pursue further.
Does a good job exploiting teaser stocks (great actually) the only one of it’s kind I believe .
finally someone whats to tell the truth in an industry where scamming people seems to be the norm! Thanks for some honesty.
I love this unique publication. It separates the useful, valuable letters and writers from the unreliable and downright dangerous advice that is hyped and sold with reckless abandon by too many of the “usual suspects”.
