I gave you a taste yesterday of the new stock teaser from Hot Stock Confidential. Now, half of that taste was probably wrong, it turns out — read this comment for a better solution than Dendreon for the “active immunity” cancer fighter, (which, you’ll recall, was clearly a guess on my part). I stand by […]

“Get Back Twice What You Lost” with Ka-Ching! Corp — Stephen Leeb
“The Credit Logjam has Broken. We’re all back in business again. Here is how to get back twice what you lost.” That’s how our latest ad for investigation opens — and someone forgot to tell Stephen Leeb’s copywriters about the exclamation point, this is not nearly exciting enough. Let’s have a little spirit, people! The […]

“Screw You! — Scam the Richest CEOs in America”
One of the introductions to this ad reads thus: “Use this code: CKUCU. “If you go to your brokerage account today… type in stock ticker COF… and enter the code’s 5 letters – you’ll receive $920 within 5 minutes.” But the more fun introduction, the one that’s probably really getting peoples’ attention, is this: “Use […]

Options-based service that aims for steady income, generally by selling covered calls but also using other strategies. No longer exists as of our last check in 2017 and Jeff Clark appears not to be working for Stansberry any longer, though Dr. David Eifrig’s Retirement Trader from the same publisher sometimes uses similar options income strategies.

InvestorPlace is certainly helping Nancy Zambell push the marketing message pretty hard for her new Buried Treasure Under $10 newsletter — who knows, if they keep this up we might be hearing as much from Nancy as we do from fellow InvestorPlace newsletter editors Louis Navellier, Robert Hsu and Tobin Smith. More power to her […]

Looked for undervalued low-priced stocks. Stopped publication after 2011 or 2012, Zambell moved on to Dick Davis Digest (which then changed its name to to Wall Street’s Best Investments, a Cabot publication that digests newsletter recommendations) in 2013.

This year has been as remarkable as any I can remember — certainly as an investor, but also as a citizen. I remain flabbergasted at the things that have come to pass, and (as is obviously quite clear from the stocks I’ve chosen to profile over the past 10 months) I certainly wouldn’t have predicted […]

Now this is what a teaser ad is all about — a bold copywriter doing enough research into the history of a particular investment thesis or company to track down something worthy of an action movie screenplay, and using that to hook our interest in a newsletter. Good stuff. Today it’s Byron King, better known […]

“Lock in this Double Digit Income … May Not Last Long”
We close out the week with a look at the “Income Security of the Month” — Carla Pasternak puts one of these out each month as a teaser to get folks to subscribe to her High-Yield Investing newsletter, and we’ve looked at several of them before — it’s been a hodgepodge, the Korea Fund and […]
