I continued to get a lot of questions about this “Green ATF” teaser from the Green Chip folks over the last week or so, and now that it’s been several weeks since I first wrote about the teaser in the Friday File it seems fair to share it with everyone here on the free site. […]

Lee Lowell’s “Instant Money Codes”
“They Scoffed When I Said You Can Collect Instant Cash Just By Punching in My Simple “Money Codes”… “But After 18 Months of Watching the Money Pile Up…” That’s how the ad opens for Lee Lowell’s Instant Money Trader, a trading newsletter that gets pushed pretty heavily from time to time. It’s all about some […]
47 Comments Read More“From ‘Strong Buy’ to ‘Back up the Truck'”
I can’t pick on Robert Hsu too much for this, because it’s just about the most popular turn of hyperbolic phrase around for tv pundits and newsletter writers … but really, I’ve had just about enough of “back up the truck.” Not only does it not make much sense — does backing up the car […]

Today for the Friday File I promise to focus on neither gold nor silver, though there are still a few “heavy rotation” gold teasers coming through the floodgates here at Gumshoe Manor (I’ll probably look into a couple of ’em next week, unless something sexier comes up). No, today it’s all about food — something […]

I haven’t looked at a teaser for any of Ian Cooper’s newsletters in a while, so when this ad for the Pure Asset Trader crossed my screen it piqued my interest — it’s got a few teasers in it, some of them a bit thin on the clues, but I think we can probably tickle […]
15 Comments Read MoreNew Purchase: Lonrho
Just a quick note to let you know that as of this morning I’m adding Lonrho to my personal portfolio at a price of about 18 cents/share (close in London was right around 12 pence). I wrote about Lonrho as one of my African “idea of the month” stocks back in October, and I consider […]
3 Comments Read More“The Next Royal Gold” Revealed
I was going to hold off on writing about this teaser until Friday and cover it just for the Irregulars in the Friday File because it’s a tiny stock and I’ll very likely be influencing the price by writing about it for this larger group today — but I’ve gotten so many questions in just […]

Time once again to have a quick look at a teaser pick from Nicholas Vardy for his Global Bull Market Alert — a small Chinese oil company that he thinks is under the radar and primed for takeoff. So who is it? Well, for Vardy’s full answer you’ll need to pony up for a subscription […]

Before I start out with today’s “Idea of the Month” article I should note that I’ve had a lot of folks asking about the new “teaser” language coming from Dan Ferris for his Extreme Value newsletter — so let me quickly jump on that before I share this month’s stock idea, since it’s a stock […]

Several folks have sent along a teaser article that Robert Hsu published on his free site a couple days ago — in it, he tells us that China and India have joined on with the nonbinding Copenhagen Accord, and that as a result China has voluntarily agreed to reduce its “carbon intensity” significantly over the […]
14 Comments Read MoreGue’s “Superstocks” for the “Global Infrastructure Boom”
Elliott Gue has gotten his share of Gumshoe attention in the past, in part because of the bull market in energy stocks, which are his bailiwick at the Energy Strategist newsletter, and in part because he fairly recently took over Personal Finance, the longstanding high-circulation investment newsletter. But lately the most heavily pushed promos attached […]

I know I should stop rising to the bait of these Louis Navellier teasers … but I can’t help myself. Every month or two he throws out a new teaser along the lines of this one — some teased pick or another that is going to double “with or without you” … he’s not alone […]
9 Comments Read MoreBuying Activision
A couple months ago I ranked the old “Idea of the Month” stocks I had profiled in the order in which I’d personally buy shares — and today, I’m putting a bit of cash to work in Activision Blizzard (ATVI), which I had at the top of my list at the time. The fundamental argument […]
3 Comments Read More“The Cisco of the Smart Grid” (Money Map Report)
If there’s one company that I would have liked to recognize as a world changer 20 years ago, it’s Cisco Systems — the routing pioneer is one of the great stories of the internet age, a tiny company that was trading at a split-adjusted 8 cents a share back in 1990, now the dominant networking […]
8 Comments Read More14% Income Fund Goes Ex-Dividend
I continue to hear from many readers that dividends are of big interest lately — the market’s surge over the past year has made a lot of folks very nervous about the future, given fairly high valuations on most stocks and the outperformance of “junkier” stocks (small caps, unprofitable growth companies, etc.). I’ll admit to […]
11 Comments Read MoreAltius Getting Attention
From what I can tell, it sounds like Rick Rule and Brent Cook have recently been talking up Altius Minerals, a favorite of mine and a favored pick of many resource investors who talk up “prospect generators” — the shares have been up significantly in recent days on no particular other news, and have generally […]
11 Comments Read MoreCzeschin’s “Breakthrough ‘superconductor’ technology”
Bob Czeschin edits a few newsletters, some of which look at really tiny mining and energy stocks, but the ad that has been coming through lately is for his relatively inexpensive Oil & Energy Investment Report that often looks at more mainstream investments, and it’s all about a breakthrough technology that he compares to getting […]
