Sniffing out the teased "No. 1 China Recommendation" from Hsu for his China Strategy newsletter

Sniffing out a China Strategy tease

If you’re going to start your ad off with a line like this: “One Stock is the Difference between a Good 2011 and a Rolling-in-the-Dough 2011 … AND YOU DON’T OWN IT!” Well, you’re going to get the Gumshoe’s attention. I haven’t had a good “roll in the dough” since Scrooge McDuck invited me over […]

Uncovering an Asia Edge tech teaser

Well, as you can imagine, the “GUARANTEED” part of that headline isn’t my word — nor are the rest of ’em, for that matter, I borrowed it all from the latest teaser for Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge newsletter. In that ad, Robert (or his intrepid copywriters) tell us about a Japanese exporter that will jump […]

Ah, good ‘ol Robert Hsu — it looks like he recommended a stock on August 19 to his subscribers, a coal company in China at about $11, it shot up to $16 (thanks in no small part to that recommendation, I’d water), and then it collapsed over a couple weeks to the current price, under […]

Investors who got in early on some of Robert Hsu’s other picks in the Chinese for-profit education sector could easily have done quite well (though whether that’s a result of Hsu’s prescience or fortunate timing in the China boom can be debated as much as you like), so I thought we should take a look […]

Today I thought we’d take a look at an issue Robert Hsu has been pushing pretty hard for about a week: Coal. The latest twist to the story is the huge traffic jam that everyone has been talking about, the massive tie-up of (mostly) coal trucks trying to get into Beijing from Inner Mongolia, which […]

Robert Hsu's teased Chinese home shopping stock

Robert Hsu’s copywriters can tease your credit card out of your wallet as quick as just about anyone, but the clues I wanted to dig through today are from something that Robert Hsu wrote that poses as an actual “article” on his AsiaInsider site — this is all about one of his China stocks that […]

That headline carries the promise of Robert Hsu’s latest tease, and since I shared some “rerun” articles of his with subscribers to the Stock Gumshoe Daily Update on Friday, I thought I might as well have a look at a “fresh” one today. And yes, he puts right in the headline that “Hint: It’s not […]

Solution to the advertising stock teased by Robert Hsu

I can’t pick on Robert Hsu too much for this, because it’s just about the most popular turn of hyperbolic phrase around for tv pundits and newsletter writers … but really, I’ve had just about enough of “back up the truck.” Not only does it not make much sense — does backing up the car […]

Several folks have sent along a teaser article that Robert Hsu published on his free site a couple days ago — in it, he tells us that China and India have joined on with the nonbinding Copenhagen Accord, and that as a result China has voluntarily agreed to reduce its “carbon intensity” significantly over the […]

Well, I’ve gotten a big ‘ol boatload of questions about this ad from Robert Hsu, so let’s dig in. The teaser is for his Asia Edge newsletter, the expensive and somewhat more flexible letter that he edits — Hsu’s “entry level” newsletter is China Strategy, which focuses on US-listed ADRs of Chinese companies, but Asia […]

It’s a requirement, it seems, for the various editors at Investorplace, including Robert Hsu and Louis Navellier, to market their newsletters using this “$X stock to hit $2X with or without you” teaser. Either that, or it really works to haul in subscribers by the bucketload. Either way, I always like to take a quick […]

China Strategy pick teased by Robert Hsu

This latest pick from Robert Hsu is for his more expensive Asia Edge newsletter — he pitches it as more “pan Asian” than his China Strategy letter, but it’s also just, well, more expensive … after all, anyone who’s anyone in newsletter land has to have an “intro” letter to get people in the door, […]

Robert Hsu was one of the louder cheerleaders for the first wave of the crazy Chinese bull market a few years ago, so it should come as no small surprise that he’s out leading the charge again — today, in a teaser for his China Strategy newsletter, he’s telling us that his latest pick, issued […]

Today we’ve got a quickie for you — this one’s form Robert Hsu for his China Strategy newsletter — the second most popular China-focused letter according to Stock Gumshoe readers (after the Cabot China letter). Times are good again for China investors, thanks to a persistent belief that the stimulus in that country will turn […]

Well, I promised I’d have a look at Robert Hsu’s other hyperactive teaser, and here it is … he’s touting his Asia Edge newsletter this time, not the less-expensive China Strategy, but now it’s with a tease that he’s found a Chinese education stock that he thinks will go from $4 to $8. This is […]

Robert Hsu has been a lot quieter over the last six months than he was in 2007 and early 2008 — back when “buy what China buys” was the mantra and almost every Chinese company with a US-listed stock was booming, his China Strategy newsletter was very popular with my readers, and his ads always […]

Here’s how this ad begins: “Industrial output dropped 35% in December “Exports sank 46% from 2007 “Unemployment to hit 6% in 2009 “Sony, Nissan and NEC are warning of huge losses that will eliminate tens of thousands of jobs “Japan’s economic minister warns, “The worst is yet to come.” Well that sounds nasty, eh? Robert […]

Edited by Robert Hsu, this services recommends stocks of Chinese or China-focused companies.

This ad came in fast and hard over the weekend, behind the full marketing might of the folks at Investorplace in service of Asia Edge, Robert Hsu’s more expensive pan-Asia newsletter. And it looks like they’re using some of the tested and (one assumes) successful marketing strategies that got Louis Navellier a lot of attention […]

Robet Hsu is out with a new little tease for us, and he thinks China will continue to be the one remaining bright spot in world economic growth. Of course, his two investment newsletters (China Strategy and Asia Edge) depend on China and its neighbors exciting investors, so that’s no surprise. He was one of […]

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 […]

I haven’t written much about Robert Hsu and his China Strategy newsletter lately, but back when China’s markets were shooting out the lights last year he was probably the most popular newsletter editor out there. This year has seen a reversal of so many different Chinese stocks, and a loss of faith in the China […]

This is a little weekend refresher, for folks who might have missed the writeup the first time around. Robert Hsu has been touting a Canadian oil sands stock that is a play on China, since China is interested in buying their product or partnering with them. And the company is a better buy now than […]

Greetings from the road, everyone — my time is limited today so I’m sharing a very interesting comment that a reader sent in … we’ll call him Carlo. Carlo looked into Louis Navellier’s recent history with the formerly highflying Russian steel (and coal) stock, Mechel (MTL). This was also a Robert Hsu pick for a […]

Robert Hsu has been sending out several teasers related to Chinese oil demand lately, no big surprise as we watch oil toy with $140 a barrel (should we even pay attention to $10 moves anymore? Boooorrring …) In his words, “China’s hunt for oil is one of the most extraordinary, untold stories of our time. […]

Of course, the big question is: does anyone really have a speculative fervor to find the next ExxonMobil? I suppose if you can find an oil major before it becomes a major you’re going to do great, but in recent history XOM has not been such a great deal. Oil has gone from roughly $30 […]

Time escapes the Gumshoe today, so we’re going to have a look at a quick email I got from Robert Hsu late last week. Hsu’s ads for his China Strategy service tell us that the key to his success is understanding Chinese consumers and what they want, and understanding how China is different. He believes […]

This one came in late last week in a flash email from Robert Hsu for his Asia Edge service — actually the ad was really for the commodities play that he tried to sell us a week or two back, which is written up here, but he added a little box teasing us about his […]

For the last couple days commodities stocks have been taking a serious beating, including the big lead horse for earnings season, Alcoa, which is down big today. But notwithstanding these few weak days, clearly commodities of all kinds (softs like the grains, metals, energy, even coffee and cocoa) have been shooting out the lights lately. […]

This one comes in from Robert Hsu, for his very popular China Strategy service — I note that several folks in the forum have talked about liking this newsletter, so if you’re interested you might want to wander over there and chat with some self-reported subscribers about it. But boy, does he ever send out […]

A quickie here from Robert Hsu — he just sent an email out telling us (after an exhaustive recounting of his successful China calls, including the Chalco play that Skousen has also been touting), that there will be a big pop in one of his favorite China stocks next Tuesday. Well, that sounds pretty precise […]

This email teaser came in from Robert Hsu, and it includes a couple companies we’ve teased out before but also several new ones. The tease is for Hsu’s Asia Edge service, his expensive one that costs $2,995 a year … you get the seven bubble proof Asia stocks “Free” when you start a subscription. But […]

This is another one from Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge, which focuses on finding the best investments in China and throughout Asia … and costs $2,995 a year, more than I feel like spending at the moment. So I’d like to find out what he considers to be the “almost perfect stock.” The email is generally […]

This one comes from Robert Hsu, who offers to tell you “How to Get Rich When we Run Out of Silicon!” — if you’ll subscribe to Asia Edge (and it ain’t cheap). “We’ve run out of sand. Silicon: cheaper than dirt, more vital than oil. Gone.” There are some numbers to back up his argument […]

Another tease from Robert Hsu and his Chinese stock advisory service, sent in by a reader — this time, the breakthrough is in solar power, and the tease lays the groundwork with two keys: One, China is in desperate need of power (mention Three Rivers Dam, oil exploration in Africa, thirst for growth). They have […]
