Today I’m taking a look at a very florid teaser letter from Michael Robinson, who is apparently now helming Taipan’s Breakaway Investor newsletter, a service that has supplied us with a lot of entertaining ammunition over the years.
The letter builds on the fact that Robinson is apparently a “special investigative correspondent” and former mainstream journalist, [...]
This ad is from Justice Litle, who edits the Macro Trader newsletter. I’m more of a micro-trader myself, but I’ve had a lot of questions on this one, and I keep seeing it cycle through my mailbox with that October 7 deadline, so I thought I’d take a look.
Here’s the promise in a quote [...]
Well, if you’re a loyal Stock Gumshoe reader (and really, who wouldn’t be?), you may have noticed that I looked into an ad from Taipan’s Safe Haven Investor that teased us about the untold riches just waiting for us in the “Gulf Coast Vaults” … but I only got to the first “Vault Target” company [...]
There are two great things about being a marketing copywriter — first, if you put it in quotes, you can say almost anything … and second, there are already a thousand successful ideas out there, you don’t need to come up with a new one each time you’re looking for an angle.
This time [...]
“… this is a completely hidden – and yet legal – drain on your retirement savings, mandated by the U.S. Government. And the worst part is that for the last five years, without fail, this “tax” has increased. In fact, at the current rate, over the next five years, you could be in line to shell out as much as 65% of your total retirement portfolio!” So what is Taipan talking about with this one?
“After 98 years of secrecy, the greatest economic conspiracy in history is finally unfolding.”
“Learn how you could turn $5,000 into $100,000 (or more) by 2009 with this safe and simple
profit/protection plan…”
That’s how this latest ad opens, with the threat that the 98-year-old “Jeckyl Island Project” economic conspiracy will ruin your retirement — though to be [...]
This one’s from Christian DeHaemer for Material Profit, one of the “introductory” inexpensive newsletters from Taipan (on sale for $49 at the moment, apparently). This group is no stranger to your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe, but I don’t think I’ve looked at one from Material Profit before (I’ve looked at many from DeHaemer’s other services, [...]
Once again, Streetsifter has scooped the Gumshoe and written up another one for you, this one on a way to “profit from Exxon’s misfortune” and “turn $4 into $45″ — just when the Gumshoe runs short on time, our friend Streetsifter seems to pull a great nicely-summarized sleuth job out of his hat for all [...]
This one comes to us from Christian DeHaemer at Taipan, whose “reliable source” tells him that this stock could go from $5 to $15 in a matter of months … sounds like something we ought to take a look at, eh?
This is an ad for his Volume Spike Alert, by the way — one of [...]
So, will the Gumshoe be wrong again? I was very skeptical of J. Christoph Amberger’s plan to buy in to stocks before they IPO in China, as a way of riding the wave of the Chinese stock market’s incredible growth. And the one time I saw a specific teaser that advocated this, I [...]
