“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 [...]

30 Times Better than Gold?

Eric Roseman is at it again, it appears — a few months ago I wrote about an ad of his that was based on some very sketchy assumptions, an ad that promised you could buy gold for a $600/ounce discount. There was a little truth to it, of course, but not $600 worth … [...]

“Alaska’s Secret Gold Mine: Biggest Gold Discovery of last 20 years”

So … if you’re breathing, and you can read, and you’ve ever subscribed to any investment service or resource of any kind, you’ve probably seen this ad. My readers have wildly varying opinions of Stansberry & Associates and their newsletters, but one thing is certain: They know how to get the word out.
And the [...]

“Distortion in the Gold Markets” Prospect Generators

This ad comes in for the Extreme Value newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, edited by Dan Ferris. The name of the newsletter is no accident, Ferris apparently looks for deep value and hidden value stocks, not unlike some other traditional “value” stock pickers.
This time, he’s telling us that there’s a “distortion” in the gold [...]
