“The $1.6 Trillion ‘Back Mountain’ Covenant”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ February 8, 2010 ⋅ 12 comments

Today’s ad comes rolling in from Zachary Scheidt for his New Growth Investor newsletter from Taipan, trumpeting the huge profits to come from the secretive “Back Mountain Covenant” that will allow Europe to break the Russian chokehold on natural gas.
The teaser ad is a long one, of course — “short and sweet” rarely [...]

“Newly Issued ‘Platinum Notes’ Set to Soar 1,173% — or More — by January 27th”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ November 19, 2009 ⋅ 13 comments

How’s that for a promise, eh? 1,173% — not just a great return, but a remarkably specific prediction. Will it come true?
Well, let’s see if we can figure out what they’re talking about — the ad is for a special report that Sara Nunnally is pitching, published by the folks at [...]

“The $50 Billion Shadow Syndicate”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ October 7, 2009 ⋅ 18 comments

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, [...]

“Crash the Euro” and Profit with a 5-Letter Code

By StockGumshoe ⋅ September 14, 2009 ⋅ 18 comments

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 [...]

Identifying the “Gulf Coast Vaults,” part II

By StockGumshoe ⋅ June 24, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

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 [...]

“Legally ‘Pirate’ $109,122 from Six Corporate Accounts”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ June 16, 2009 ⋅ 10 comments

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 [...]

“Dodge the Government’s Secret 65% Retirement Tax” Taipan

By StockGumshoe ⋅ January 10, 2009 ⋅ 22 comments

“… 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?

“The Greatest Economic Conspiracy in History”

By StockGumshoe ⋅ October 30, 2008 ⋅ 30 comments

“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 [...]

“Own the Sleeping Giant of India” Material Profit

By StockGumshoe ⋅ March 28, 2008 ⋅ 8 comments

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, [...]

Seven Year Blockade Lifted from "Gunboat Basin"

By StockGumshoe ⋅ December 10, 2007 ⋅ 6 comments

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 [...]
