“The Greatest Transfer of Wealth in the History of Mankind”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ March 16, 2009 ⋅ 10 comments

Today our teaser is for the Fool’s Hidden Gems service, which according to Hulbert has been their worst-performing service over the last three years with an annual loss of about 20% (Hulbert doesn’t track Global Gains, which has been decimated with the crash of the BRIC countries) — perhaps not surprising, since they focus on [...]

“Power Plays — Cash in on the Wind-Energy Revolution” Motley Fool

By StockGumshoe ⋅ October 15, 2008 ⋅ 40 comments

Ah, another book-length teaser from the Motley Fool … just the thing to dig in my Gumshoe teeth after a few days of odd posts about the Gumshoe contest and Social Security payouts. Back to stocks!
Today our teaser is for the Fool’s Hidden Gems service, which according to Hulbert has been their worst-performing service [...]

Hidden Gems: “Hidden Oil Millionaires and $5 Gas”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ March 12, 2008 ⋅ 7 comments

I know it seems like I’ve been writing primarily about the Motley Fool over the past week or so, but I am but a simple servant to my masters: the wide-ranging, unusually intelligent, and good lookin’ Gumshoe readership. And a large number of you, I’m guessing something on the order of a zillion, have [...]

Ah, another one from the Motley Fool! Like mother’s milk, it nourishes the Gumshoe so to pore through a ponderous Fool tome in search of clues to great stocks.
Today, we’re blessed with a teaser letter for the Hidden Gems newsletter, with the letter coming from Bill Mann, who runs that newsletter in partnership with [...]

Rerun: "The Tiny Company Walking in the Footsteps of Microsoft"

By StockGumshoe ⋅ December 16, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

For those who weren’t waiting on the Gumshoe’s every word back in March, this is a rerun that has been emailed like crazy nationwide in the last few weeks … at least, if the flood of emails I’m getting about this one is any indication. So, the company’s still the same, the teaser is [...]

"The Secret Real Estate Rocket"

By StockGumshoe ⋅ August 15, 2007 ⋅ One comment

When the Motley Fool Hidden Gems newsletter sends out a teaser email, I always pay attention — not only because I was a subscriber to that service a few years ago and generally liked the newsletter, but because it has recently ranked as the best newsletter in the country, according to Hulbert … and that’s [...]

"Like Buying Starbucks in 1992"

By StockGumshoe ⋅ April 10, 2007 ⋅ 5 comments

This one was recently forwarded by a reader, with a tip as to the company he thought it was (he was right, too). And this is actually a company I owned a few years ago around their IPO, so this is also a nice bitter reminder that I shouldn’t have sold it.
The ad is [...]
