“Undervalued Gold Stocks Will Go Berserk”

This article below was originally written for the Irregulars in their Friday File and published on June 23. It has not been updated or edited, but the ad is still circulating with similar, if not identical, language.
In regards to disclosure: Though I did own shares of Royal Gold, as noted below, at the [...]

“How to Grow Very Rich From the Return of 1970s-Style Inflation” Stephen Leeb

Today’s wee tease is from a guy who is most known as a commodity and oil super-bull in recent years — and his picks today follow that theme quite nicely.
Leeb’s top pick in the annals of Gumshoedom is actually unrelated to gold, oil or other commodities — his top pick on our tracking [...]

China Government’s Secret New Gold Investment

This article was originally published on the members-only Irregulars site on July 31, 2009, it is being reproduced here but has not been updated or significantly revised.
Now that Matt Badiali’s S&A Oil Report has renamed itself the S&A Resource Report, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he’s looking not just at the energy companies that [...]

“Gold-Backed Annuity” companies … income for life?

This ad has been floating to the top of my inbox for a couple days now, and since the people have spoken I thought I better write about it right quick for you — I am, after all, your humble sleuthing servant. Well, OK, maybe not so humble all the time, but do you [...]

“Better than Gold! … 3-to-1 Gains Guaranteed!”

Just to be clear, when I include that “3-to-1 Gains Guaranteed” in the headline, that’s a quote from the ad — your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe doesn’t guarantee anything, except that I’ll continue to do my best to dig into these fabulous teaser ads … you keep reading, I’ll keep writing, that’s the deal.
Today’s peek [...]

“… About to turn into a $10.1 Billion Gold Mine”

This ad caught the attention of a lot of Gumshoe readers over the weekend, which isn’t surprising — it’s filled with promise:

“One of the world’s top geologists makes an $80,000 bet…
“Now It’s About to Turn Into a $10.1 Billion Gold Mine
“And give you the rare opportunity to ‘buy’ gold for 17 cents on the dollar [...]

“Gold Dollars: America’s New Legal Tender” Peter Schiff

This ad is another one that piggybacks on Peter Schiff — as they did a few months ago, the folks at the Money Map Report are trying to sell their newsletter subscription by giving away a copy of one of Schiff’s books as part of the deal — and their promise is quite similar to [...]

“48 Karat Gold: An Investment Worth Twice Its Weight in Gold”

Well, the gold price seems to be recovering slightly this morning after a few days of backtracking once it got close to the $1,000 level again … so it’s time to look at another gold ad, no?
Today’s feature is an ad for the Big Gold service from Casey Research, edited by Jeff Clark (there are [...]

“We’re Sitting on a Goldmine!” Stephen Leeb

OK, if you read today’s weekend update email, you know that this is a rarity — a new Stock Gumshoe sleuthification on a Saturday morning, hurray!
But I have to make some allowances for the weekend, so I’m telling you the solution, but not doing much thinking … read on for the tease and the solution, [...]

“$3 Gold Stock … Could Triple in the Next Six Months” John Doody

Some of you might remember that I wrote a few months ago about a teaser ad for John Doody’s Gold Stock Analyst — and I was personally intrigued by the shares that I wrote about that time (the stock was Minefinders, you can read about it here) and ended up later buying shares for my [...]
