Teaser Stock Performance Tracking

These spreadsheets track the performance of stocks touted in investment newsletter teaser emails, assuming a purchase of the stock on the date the email was first seen or written about by the Gumshoe. Stock prices are live with a 20 minute delay, and the sorting (best performers at the top) is updated … every once in a while.

There is a different spreadsheet for each year, based on the year the stock was first teased, so you’ll see separate boxes for 2007, 2008 and 2009 picks — sorry, this is inconvenient but it’s the only way to share the document through Google with live prices. If you want to see the spreadsheets independently, 2009 is here, 2008 is here and 2007 is here. If you use those links you can copy and paste the spreadsheets into Excel or whatever your favorite program, resort, or do what you like with them.

For more information about these companies, use the link in the right column of the spreadsheet to visit the original Stock Gumshoe writeup. New companies are added to the spreadsheet usually every few weeks (though I’ve been known to fall behind), so the most recent teaser companies will not necessarily be on this page.

To submit a new teaser email or website ad for review, either email to the Gumshoe at ILoveStockSpam@gmail.com or submit it to the Stock Gumshoe Forum to see if the participants there can sniff it out (or maybe they already have). Thanks for visiting!
