“The Best Investment Left Standing”

This morning we’re taking a brief break from the multitude of investment teasers that focus on the changes we expect from the Obama presidency — lately, many of those ads are hinting at riches from alternative energy companies and infrastructure-related firms, and I’m sure we’ll get back to them before too long.
But today, I’m looking [...]

Safety and a Government Guarantee? High Yield Investing

A big part of the advertising that comes out for Carla Pasternak’s High Income Investing is by way of their writeups on the “income security of the month” — I’ve looked at a few of these in the past, but it’s been a while, so now seems like as good a time as any to [...]

“Best Renewable Energy Investment for Decades to Come?”

This wee teaser comes to us from an ad for the Alternative Energy Speculator, which is the newsletter that came into being about a year ago and has so far been popping up like a Whack-A-Mole every couple months to push Westport Innovations and some solar power companies.
And this time around, it’s a wind power [...]

“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 [...]

Collecting “Market Commissions” on Stocks — Jeff Clark

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.

“Beginning right [...]

“Quarterly Paychecks from America’s Most Hated Company”

Today I’m looking at a teaser ad from Andrew Gordon of Investors Daily Edge — I’ve looked at a couple of Gordon’s teaser picks over the past year or so, one good (SunPower) and one very bad (Microvision). Apparently now his focus has moved a bit, he’s not talking about breakout high tech companies [...]

High Yield Investment of the Month again … and again … and again

Let me just warn you up front — this is a rerun. But I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em, and Carla Pasternak runs this same exact ad so often that I get questions about it once every few months. This is no exception — she’s been calling this particular Closed End Fund [...]

“Receive $1,400 on May 30 … World’s Safest 9% Dividend” Dyson

I know many of my readers are dividend fiends, and I always appreciate a buck in my pocket as much as the next guy, so I thought this latest missive from Tom Dyson at Stansberry and Associates might be worth a look.
The ad actually began as a Daily Wealth article last month — back then [...]

Monthly Dividends, Escondido Retirement Trust, and more on “Drive Thru Retirement”

Since writing about the “John and Helen Scott’s Drive Thru Retirement” teaser a few weeks ago I’ve heard from many folks that are interested in monthly dividend companies, so your Gumshoe thought he might poke around a bit and find some more for you. Who knows, maybe all the excitement is because it looks [...]

Motley Fool’s “Peak Oil Profits: 3 Overlooked Energy Stocks Ready to Run”

This teaser came in recently for the Motley Fool’s Income Investor newsletter which, you will be unsurprised to hear, is focused on dividend investing — though they often focus just as much on dividend growth as on current yields, so not all of their picks have super-high yields.
They would love you to take a flier [...]
