“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 [...]

“Best Gold Story in 14 Years?” McCoach

“Will your assets be forced into … the New Obama IRA?”

[cue spooky music, please!]

“If you think your 401(k) statement looks bad now, just wait… Your retirement funds could soon be devastated at the hands of a new government initiative to “save” your retirement.
“Still, you can avoid this coming disaster and protect your assets… all [...]

Peter Schiff’s Gold Picks for Money Map Report?

The Money Map folks are currently selling their subscription service by offering to throw in a free copy of Peter Schiff’s Crash Proof … the book is a couple years old now, and will be updated by a new version this Fall, but they tease a few of the investment ideas Schiff focuses on — [...]

Tiny co. Pays $3 million for $2.9 BILLION in gold …

That’s the promise of the latest teaser ad from the Penny Mining Speculator, Chuck de Castro’s pricey newsletter ($5,200 a year) that shoots for the moon using little mining companies with great potential.
We’ve looked at de Castro’s stuff a few times before — he turned us on to a tiny oil stock that [...]
