Now that Matt Badiali’s S&A Oil Report has renamed itself the S&A Resource Report, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he’s looking not just at the energy companies that have been a big part of his focus over the past several years, but at gold. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of his ad that […]

“How to multiply YOUR wealth with the behind-the-scenes technology Fortune 500 CEOs are quietly riding to record profits… “Experts call it “the new science of winning.” The Economist says it’s “a golden vein.” FedEx, Capital One, Amazon, and even the Boston Red Sox can’t function without it. “Now a team of professional opportunity-seekers has uncovered […]

This tease comes in an ad for the Motley Fool’s Global Gains newsletter, which has brought some interesting ideas to our attention during its relatively short life so far (though I imagine it probably had a terrible year last year — this is one of the few Motley Fool newsletters that Hulbert doesn’t track, and […]
10 Comments Read More1,400% Gains from Iraqi Oil, Part Two
Late last week I wrote about a new teaser from the Phase 1 newsletter at Stansberry & Associates — as far as these things go it’s actually a relatively low-hype, fact-based teaser ad, since there’s a pretty big fundamental argument in favor of anyone who can profit from Iraq’s oil reserves (as well as lots […]

Some Ways to Turn Gold Into an Investment
Gold remains one of the most discussed investment themes of the year, with the price of the yellow metal bumping up and down between $900 and $1,000 an ounce — and I hold some gold and some gold mining stocks as well, but it is, in any decent economy, a terrible investment. I consider holding […]

Iraqi Oil: “The Most Dangerous 1,400%+ You’ll Ever See?”
This ad is getting a lot of attention from my readers, if my inbox is any indication — it’s for the Phase 1 Investor service from Stansberry & Associates, which is their expensive premium letter that has historically focused mostly on biotech stocks but is also used by them for any super-tiny stocks that would […]

I haven’t written about Nicholas Vardy and his Global Stock Investor very many times, but several folks sent in his latest teaser ad and it piqued my interest a little bit. So let’s have at it, shall we? As you might imagine, Vardy focuses on foreign stocks — though he’s aiming for US investors so […]

This ad sounds a little bit like a very popular one we looked at a few months back — then, it was for $1 “Silver Shots”, and it was a teaser for a leveraged derivative trade on silver futures (or, in plainer speak, it was for long-term call options on the SLV ETF). If you […]

I picked up shares of miner Silvercorp Minerals this morning at about $3.36 per share (Silvercorp Metals trades in both Canada and NY at SVM). This is the world’s lowest cost silver miner, and the biggest primary silver miner in China — they currently claim to mine silver at a negative cash cost of a […]

“America’s Hidden Resource: Poised to hand you generous profits”
This teaser ad comes in for a newsletter I’ve written about many, many times over the past couple years, the Motley Fool Stock Advisor. And this is a good ‘ol patriotic “stand up and cheer” ad — all about how the Chinese can’t beat us when we’ve got some of the most critical technology and […]
5 Comments Read MoreJuly Idea of the Month: Make Like a Barnacle — Bottom Fishing in Shipping
I find it hard to be a true contrarian investor, buying a stock that most people hate — though of course, it’s often hard to say what a “contrarian” is anymore, what with the majority of investors and pundits claiming, with a straight face, that they stray from the herd even as they tout the […]

That headline comes from an ad for a new income-focused newsletter that is just launching now … Roger Conrad and Elliott Gue are starting a service that sounds quite familiar — they’re calling it MLP Profits, and it will be focusing, you guessed it, on Master Limited Partnerships. The publisher, KCI, tried to launch something […]

I haven’t looked much at Tobin Smith and his ChangeWave services over the past year or so — I think the last teaser of his that I looked at was hyping Sigma Designs back in April of 2008, which he promised would be a huge gainer within a year. Of course, that didn’t take into […]
