The Primeval Portfolio — “Caveman Plays” in Water

I don’t usually write about the same editor twice in one week, but in a land where ads like this hit my mailbox every day I can’t have any hard and fast rules along those lines … and I couldn’t resist taking a look at this latest ad from Chris Mayer, and again it’s for [...]

“‘Hard Luck’ Scheele’s Discovery Could Quadruple Your Money”

Here’s how today’s ad opens:

“The biggest opportunity of the new world economy…
“‘Hard Luck’ Scheele’s Discovery Could Quadruple Your Money by July 14, 2010
“Every country in the developing world needs this 231-year-old discovery, but…
“Only 10 companies in the world have it…
“Only 3 of them are pure plays…
“Only ONE can actually deliver
“Turning every one of your dollars [...]

“The Next Franco-Nevada: Chaffee Revisited”

If anyone was in danger of forgetting the “Chaffee Royalties” teaser ad for Chris Mayer’s Special Situations newsletter, the marketers have saved you from that precarious perch — I’ve seen this ad more in the past week than in the last several months combined, so it must be taking hold once more.
Why? Well, the [...]

“The Endless Paycheck Portfolio” Chris Mayer

“Using this three-step “paycheck portfolio” plan… tap into an endless stream of income, for as long as you’ll need it… starting with as many as 75 checks, sent automatically to your account.”
Not bad, eh?
That’s the tease from Chris Mayer and the Capital and Crisis newsletter from Agora (which is not to be confused with [...]

“Chaffee Royalty Program: Mining Profits without the costs”

The people of Gumshoedom have spoken, and they have said, “what is this Chaffee Royalty thing?”
This is one of the more heavily emailed promotions in recent weeks, an ad for Chris Mayer’s more expensive newsletter, Mayer’s Special Situations that touts a few mining royalty companies that you should own …
… companies that he’d be happy [...]

“India Rising: The Golden Quadrilateral and the new Model T”

This one comes in from Chris Mayer for his Capital & Crisis newsletter. Chris has brought us, via teaser email, several investing ideas over the past year — from one of many “next Berkshire Hathaway” picks (down about 15%) to an interesting under-the-radar natural gas company (up 75% or so). But this one [...]

"The Next Great American Energy Miracle"

This one came in last week as an ad for Chris Mayer’s Special Situations Newsletter … he also writes the Capital and Crisis newsletter, and this is certainly a trend, hot newsletter editors creating “more exclusive” newsletters with higher prices that address smaller companies or unusual opportunities.
I imagine the Capital and Crisis subscribers are a [...]

"The Next Berkshire: The One Forever Stock That Could Make You Rich"

It should come as no surprise that after only a couple weeks of posting my teaser sleuthing on this site, I’m already on my second “next Berkshire Hathaway” — as I’ve written on my other blog several times, and been guilty of myself, the search for the next Warren Buffett is one of the most [...]
