  • Westport Says “Next Year!” … AGAIN

    Westport Innovations (WPRT) was a great story five years ago with great potential, and it remains a compelling “story stock” that continues to appeal to storytelling newsletter writers and suck in investors today — that’s why we’ve had it on the watchlist for many years, since it was one of our “Idea of the Month” […]

  • “The U.S. Defense Department has already tested this new-age biofuel in its B-52 bomber fleet… “

    We’ve gotten a bunch of questions recently about this pitch from Nathan Slaughter about gas to liquids technology and the “death of OPEC,” so I’m sharing an excerpt from the Friday File article about this teaser that we published a little over three weeks ago for the Irregulars. Don’t worry, it’s the meat of the […]

  • A Look Back at 2011’s “Big” Winning Teases

    We’re preparing to shut down Gumshoe HQ for a week or so — one vestige of my former life in academia is a strong belief that no one should work between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so we will not be publishing anything new until next year (don’t worry, we’ll still keep an eye on […]

  • David Gardner’s “No Choice Revolution” Natural Gas Stock

    Well, the copywriters over the Motley Fool seem to have been working overtime to churn out ads for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor … so I guess the lights will stay on late into the night at Gumshoe HQ, too. What is it they’re pitching now, and why does it have so many of my […]

  • Catching up on Old Ideas: Buy, Sell, or Hold (or something more wishy-washy)

    Before I get into the point of today’s Friday File, I want to welcome the newcomers to the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars, and to especially thank those who joined up during our charity membership drive just before Christmas — we managed to raise a total of just over $2,600 for our two charities, and I was […]

  • “Soros and Pickens are about to make $2.3 billion on this ‘Future Fuel’ company” (Alternative Energy Speculator)

    Here’s the pitch for the ad I’m looking at this morning: “At the equivalent of $1.50 per gallon, the ‘fuel of the future’ is over 50% cheaper than diesel. And it’s many times safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly… “But what only a few people know — the rich, connected people, like Pickens and Soros […]

  • Happy New Year! How about all those old picks and ideas?

    Well, it’s the beginning of a new year and time for introspection — so I thought I’d revisit some of the older ideas I’ve profiled for the Idea of the Month, and list all of the Ideas in my order of preference today. So first, the list — if I were buying today from the […]

  • Friday File Begins: Catching up with some old “favorites”

    Last week I promised that I would be writing a special note of some kind just for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars each Friday — I’ll be calling this feature the Friday File, and it will include whatever I think might be interesting to share with you each week, whether it’s a new stock teaser unraveling […]

  • Looking Back, and Preparing for the Next Idea

    This past year of writing for the Gumshoe faithful has been a wonderful one for me, but not so much for the returns of the stocks that I singled out for extra attention here for the loyal Stock Gumshoe Irregulars.  As I’ve noted before, starting this additional little service for my contributors has served mostly, […]

  • Sold Westport

    I cleared out my holdings in Westport Innovations today — during a very weak market for alternative energy stocks of most sorts it’s hard to sell anything in this sector, but I am very concerned about funding for the big ports Clean Trucks program that stands out as the single most important driver for Westport’s […]

  • Big Cummins Westport Order

    Westport announced that they’ve gotten a huge order for buses that use the Cummins Westport natural gas engine — over 3,000 buses, which will give a nice bump to CWI revenue, some of which will trickle through to Westport. In truth, however, the real story of growth for Westport remains the California ports — the […]

  • Westport Catalysts Fading? Probably a sell.

    The shares of natural gas engine maker Westport Innovations have, as you may have noticed, gotten clobbered along with everything else in the last month or two.  Because the company is not profitable, and is a somewhat speculative play on an alternative energy niche, it has fallen even more than most — speculation is a […]

  • August Idea of the Month: Risky Pickens Flier Westport Innovations

    I’ve written a few times about Westport Innovations (WPT in Toronto, WPRT on the Nasdaq) in the past, and I own shares at a price about 20-25% below where they’re currently trading. But I’ve been reluctant to call extra attention to them, or to single them out as a good investing idea, because of the […]

    Aha! You think for a moment that the Gumshoe has returned from vacation early to jump on a hot new stock tip … but you’re wrong, my friend. I’m still not here, but my ethereal presence is calmly posting a rerun of a stock we snooped out many months ago, with a few new notes […]

  • Westport’s New Address

    You can now find Westport Innovations on the Nasdaq — they got their US listing and IPO today, so if you’ve been dying to buy this developer of alternative fuel engines but didn’t like the pink sheet or Canadian listings, you’re in luck. It’s trading under the ticker symbol WPRT, if you happened to own […]

  • Westport Coming to America

    Westport Innovations, the natural gas engine company that was teased a while back by the Alternative Energy Speculator, continues to develop. We should all be cautious, because this company has been around for a long time and gotten hyped up several times in the past before falling back down. It seems different to me this […]

    I meant to commend an article to you a few days ago … and I forgot. So here it is.

  • Underappreciated “Green” Plays

    Interesting short article from Forbes today featured one stock I own, Westport Innovations. Westport Innovations was teased by the Alternative Energy Speculator in their “Clean Air Cash-Outs” piece, the original Stock Gumshoe writeup is here. The Forbes article is here, the section on Westport reads: “Westport Innovations, listed in Toronto, has partnered with enginemaker Cummins […]

  • Green Chip: “Clean Air Cash-Outs — $1.6 billion Clean Truck Superfund”

    Here we have another newsletter from the folks who brought us Green Chip Stocks, which has been riding herd on the wave of environmentally friendly investors with a near-constant stream of new teaser ads. This latest ad, from Jeff Siegel for the new service, talks about “clean air cash-outs”, which as I read it are […]
