“This $3 Utah Company Could ‘Bring Down’ OPEC”

Longtime readers of this space might recognize the gist of this teaser just from that headline, but it has been reformulated and is getting pushed harder and harder of late, so I couldn’t resist another look at it.
The ad is for the Oxford Club and their Communique, a relatively inexpensive newsletter (according to the [...]

“Underground Currency” on the Streets of New York — Jumped in Value in 2008

Many folks have sent in this fun ad from the Oxford Club, one of many Agora-related publications — and a few folks even suggested the solution, which is easy if you’ve heard of it, but a bit obscure if you haven’t, and especially if you’ve never been a New Yorker.
How’s that for a [...]

“Global Titan Spins Off Hot Orphan” Oxford Club

The merry lads at the Oxford Club are at it again, promoting their subscription service with a nice long teaser ad that promises to turn you on to the next hot investing strategy.
And as usual, there’s a little truth and a lot of obfuscation — so let’s give it a look.
Here’s how they open:

“The $120 [...]

“$12.5 Billion in Abandoned Silver”

I’ve seen this particular ad a few times in the last week or so, and I know that there are many folks out there in Gumshoe Land with a yen for silver, so I thought it deserved a few minutes of consideration.
The ad is for a special report from the Oxford Club — [...]

“The Secret of White Caps: A Sure-Fire System to Profit Before Wall Street Even Has a Clue”

Does calling something an “index” automatically make it sound safe? That seems to be part of the premise for the recent swath of ads from the Oxford Club for what they’re calling their “Recession-Proof White Cap Index.”
The ad, from Louis Basenese, is about a new investment newsletter service that they’re calling the White Cap [...]

“Another Bank to Fail: Gone Fishin’ Portfolio?” Oxford Club

Alexander Green at the Oxford Club has been sending out a series of emails touting not an investment newsletter, but his own recently published book: The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio. I’ve heard from a lot of you that this is of interest, though I haven’t read the book, so I thought I’d take a gander [...]

“One Company Dominates the Future” Oxford Club

I don’t know exactly when this email might have first circulated, but it touts a stock that the folks at the Oxford Club believe should be the top grower, and best performer, of 2008.
Naturally, they’d like you to subscribe to receive their special report — it’ll cost you $79 a year, which may or may [...]

“Secret Discovery in Utah Puts OPEC On Notice” Oxford Club

This one is all about the coming electricity crisis, and the coming “post oil” era when new energy sources will be in high demand. The teaser is for the Oxford Club, which is a newsletter service to which I know quite a few Gumshoe readers subscribe.
They have a special report for you: “Drilling for [...]

“The Weismann Secret — $24 Million in Profits”

This teaser email comes in from the folks at the Oxford Club, who are selling what sounds like a new service from Alexander Green called the Insider Alert. It normally sells for $2,900, they tell us, but is currently available for $1,011.
This service tracks insider buying, as do so many others, and tries to [...]

"Phipps Stock Market — a Miracle of Wall Street"

Apologies for those who were unable to get in to the site this morning — some technical problems with my host really messed things up. I hope to be able to fix it soon so that doesn’t happen again.
Anyway, on with the work at hand:
This teaser has been circulating for a few months, but [...]
