I have intimated several times over the past year that I’d like to create some special content that is just for the folks who contribute financially to StockGumshoe.com … well, the good news and the bad news is, I’m almost ready to actually do so. And even though it’s just “almost,” we’re starting today. Good […]

“Africa’s Hidden $55 Billion Energy Fortune” Crisis Trader
I haven’t looked at an investment teaser from Christian DeHaemer’s Crisis Trader in a while, but he usually has some interesting ones — he wrote to us late last year about lifting the blockade in the gunboat basin, and for some of his other newsletters he spun tales of a secret nickel project in the […]
28 Comments Read More“Safely Play China’s Growth” Without Borders
A few days ago I noted that if there were a reasonable Chinese cement company to invest in, that I’d consider doing so. Immediately, several readers tossed some ideas on the pile for me to consider … and though it was a throwaway comment, more or less, I thought I might better take a look. […]
15 Comments Read More“Chaffee Royalty Program: Mining Profits without the costs”
[note: this older piece is from 2008, The “Chaffee Royalty” is being teased again in 2013 but it’s pointed at different stocks, you can see our updated take on the new version of the ad here.] The people of Gumshoedom have spoken, and they have said, “what is this Chaffee Royalty thing?” This is one […]
39 Comments Read More“Profit from the World’s Dawning Agriboom” Money Map Report
This one comes in from the folks at the Oxford Club, as a tease for their Money Map Report newsletter. It’s a bit different in terms of the marketing offer, since technically they’re trying to sell you a special report about agribusiness, and then you get a “free” subscription to Money Map Report if you […]
16 Comments Read MoreUntapped Wealth Pushes the Envelope … in a bad way
I’ve looked at plenty of teaser email ads from Untapped Wealth over the last year or so — if you’re not familiar with these folks, this is a newsletter run by Tim Fields and Eric Dickson, and it’s described as the “flagship” publication of Trinity Research, one of a half-dozen or so relatively large financial […]
27 Comments Read MoreGumshoe catchup — What’s been hot this week?
A few of my dear readers have been steadfastly reading every missive from the Gumshoe’s tired keyboard for well over a year now, but there are new folks every day here … and lots of you who only catch an occasional article, so I thought I’d try to catch everyone up on what has been […]
13 Comments Read More“Receive $1,400 on May 30 … World’s Safest 9% Dividend” Dyson
I know many of my readers are dividend fiends, and I always appreciate a buck in my pocket as much as the next guy, so I thought this latest missive from Tom Dyson at Stansberry and Associates might be worth a look. The ad actually began as a Daily Wealth article last month — back […]

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 […]
24 Comments Read More“The $6.4 Trillion Land Grab” Growth Report
This stock teaser comes in from Ian Wyatt’s Growth Report newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve written about before. But the stock? That I have written about before. Those of you who’ve been around GumshoeLand for a little while might remember a teaser from Matt Badiali on the “Oil Sands Story 60 Minutes Missed” — […]
26 Comments Read More“One Company Dominates the Future” Oxford Club
I don’t know exactly when this email might have first circulated, but it touts a stock that the folks at the Oxford Club believe should be the top grower, and best performer, of 2008. Naturally, they’d like you to subscribe to receive their special report — it’ll cost you $79 a year, which may or […]
15 Comments Read More“Get Rich off of the Fastest Growing Country in Asia” Silk Road Investor
This one is probably a few weeks old, going by the share price in the teaser, but it still might be interesting to folks … it is, at the very least, a truly unique investment. Good or bad, you can decide when you know the facts … but certainly unique. The teaser is from Yiannis […]
8 Comments Read More“Brazilian Bank Stocks to go Ballistic” Navellier
This one will be a bit of a quickie, I’m working on a much longer one for tomorrow so we’ll see what we can churn out for you today. The teaser comes in from Louis Navellier for his Quantum Growth service, who in typical exuberance tells us that … “The opportunity of a lifetime is […]
20 Comments Read More“Most Undervalued Stock of the S&P 500” Bottarelli Small Cap
OK, so that headline is a little bit deceiving — the ad is for Bottarelli Research Small Cap, and much of it was indeed about what they thought was the most undervalued stock in the S&P 500. But they also told us directly what it was. So we know that Bryan Bottarelli thinks that Titanium […]
3 Comments Read More“The One Wind Stock to Buy … Before Thursday” Green Chip
Man, the Green Chip guys are busy. First they got going with the Alternative Energy Speculator service, which we’ve looked at a few times, and now there’s another service of theirs that I’ve never looked at, Green Chip International. Seems to be the mantra of the newsletter business: keep launching new services or die. This […]
35 Comments Read MoreAnother Fan of SunPower?
Just a quick note here for you, no complicated teaser to suss out. I received a brief email from Steve Sjuggerud, one of those Daily Wealth missives, and in it he teased a recent recommendation as follows: “For my paid subscribers, I uncovered an extraordinary opportunity – the “Hillary Trade.” I found a tech stock […]
19 Comments Read More“3160 Letters: Triple your money every three months” Pure Energy Trader
This delightful ad has clearly graced many an inbox over the past few days — I know I’ve gotten it about a dozen times myself, not to mention the hundreds of Gumshoe readers who have also been kind enough to send it along. OK, dozens. Still. So the marketing push is on … … but, […]
14 Comments Read More“Last chance to benefit before this oil story goes public…”
We start the week with one that will neither shock nor amaze, though that doesn’t mean it’s not an intriguing investment possibility. I thought I’d take a look at this one because the latest teaser emails tell us that now is our last chance to subscribe to the newsletter and find out all about this […]
17 Comments Read More“Big Companies, Big Gains with Tier-2 Equities” Burritt
Just a quick note, since I’ve had quite a few folks write in with questions about this “Tier-2 Equities” teaser for J. Wayne Burritt’s investing newsletter, Easy Money Options. I don’t know what Burritt’s track record might be, and the track record of options services should always be taken with a grain of salt, but […]
21 Comments Read More“Secret Discovery in Utah Puts OPEC On Notice” Oxford Club
This one is all about the coming electricity crisis, and the coming “post oil” era when new energy sources will be in high demand. The teaser is for the Oxford Club, which is a newsletter service to which I know quite a few Gumshoe readers subscribe. They have a special report for you: “Drilling for […]
