This is one of those teases that clearly jumps out at people — when a relatively high profile newsletter teases a new and undervalued oil reservoir held by a tiny penny stock, folks get interested … or at least, that’s what I conclude from the vast number of emails I’ve received in just the last […]

“No. 1 China Stock for 2010… textbook (though exceedingly rare) opportunity to profit from the rise of the Chinese consumer”
Today we again visit our friends from the Motley Fool, and they transport us to the Middle Kingdom with a teaser chock full of Chinese stock ideas. The teaser comes in an ad for the Fool’s Global Gains newsletter from Tim Hanson, and it’s all about the Chinese consumer. They’ll send you a special report […]

This ad has been floating around for a few weeks now and I haven’t had a chance to dig into it — but that ends today. The good folks at Stansberry & Associates are using it to sell their flagship Stansberry’s Investment Advisory service (recently renamed, since it’s now written by Braden Copeland instead of […]

I was skimming through my “to do list” of email teaser ads to decide which one to focus on today, and this one floated to the top of the pile — even though it’s about a week old. It’s a pick from Louis Navellier that he says is his top rated technology stock … and […]

Just from that headline, experienced investors and teaser-readers might well know that we’re looking today at rare earth minerals — you might also call them rare earths, rare earth magnets, rare earth elements or lanthanides (they’re usually pulled out of the period table and grouped separately on the bottom if you want the actual names […]
20 Comments Read MorePeter Schiff’s Gold Picks
Most of the chatter we hear about Peter Schiff these days relates to his battle with Linda McMahon for the Republican slot on the ballot for Chris Dodd’s CT Senate seat — but his Euro Pacific Capital brokerage firm is still drumming up business, trying to get new clients who are interested in a traditional […]

I’ve gotten so many questions about this Mongolia oil teaser that’s circulating in a few different iterations that I’m republishing an older Friday File article about the stock today — this originally appeared on the Irregulars site (for paying members) back in April, and it has not been udpated or revised in any way, though […]

July Idea of the Month: Natural Gas Dividend Superstar
This month I want to pay my respects to the panicked, concerned and worried out there (myself included) and feature a dividend growth stock — and even better, it’s a dividend growth stock in the super-boring utility sector. This is the kind of stock you might find comfort in if the market treads water for […]
5 Comments Read More“50% Overnight Surge Virtually Guaranteed!” (Nancy Zambell)
Well, I’ve made my pilgrimage to the duck-boot mothership (LL Bean), and lolled away on the beach quite enough, thank you — time to jump back into the fray and see what the investing pundits are trying to sell you today. And the one that percolated to the top of my inbox — which is […]
7 Comments Read MoreFriday File: “18 Days to Lock up Another 127% Gain”
I would be remiss in not at least mentioning two of the bigger stinkers I’ve written about over the last year or so, FTI Consulting (FCN) and China North East Petroleum (NEP). I don’t have a lot to add, but by way of an update here’s what’s up: NEP is still not in compliance and […]
3 Comments Read More“Gold Sands … the discovery of a lifetime?”
The following was originally published on July 2 in the Friday File for the paid members of the site. It is republished here with no editing or updating, and the author continues to have no position in the stock. Well, this seems like a good way to get back to work after a week of […]
58 Comments Read MoreA Handful of Buried Treasures from Nancy Zambell
Sometimes the teases that catch the eye of your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe are long, detail-filled, and exhausting … and sometimes, they’re like little frustrating snacks, just enough of a hint that the Thinkolator might track it down, but often requiring a bit of a sleuthing slog. Today we’re looking at a small smorgasbord of […]

“Two specific, wealth-building investments you can buy today to start rebuilding your own wealth”
That headline is a quote from the Motley Fool, in a recent teaser ad for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, the one that pits brother/founders Dave and Tom Gardner against each other. They run through their familiar spiel, that Wall Street ignores the little guy, mutual funds managers underperform and get overpaid, and that brokers […]
7 Comments Read More“The secret toll-free phone call that enables you to increase your dividend yield by 10-times or more”
I’ve been getting lots of questions about this secret toll-free phone number this week, so I thought I should try to take a look for you today. Apparently it’s all about some way to boost your dividend by calling a special phone number — which can’t help but conjure up a mental image of vast […]
11 Comments Read More“The End of the Grey Plague”
This teaser ad that I started seeing about ten days ago has both promise for the families of Alzheimer’s sufferers and, of course, the promise of riches for those who get in early on the next hot biotech with a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. The ad is from Brian Hicks, for a new letter that […]
9 Comments Read More“Gold Sands” — “A small, publicly traded micro-cap has stumbled onto the discovery of a lifetime”
Well, this seems like a good way to get back to work after a week of moving — and I must say, I’m relieved that it’s not a hugely difficult teaser, since the mighty Thinkolator is not yet up to speed after the move. Hopefully I’ll find the rest of the pieces by next week. […]

As I struggle out from below the mountain of incoming email teaser ads and get Stock Gumshoe back up to speed after a week of moving and unpacking here at Gumshoe HQ, there’s one thing I can do easily and quickly: share an older article. This one appeared in the Friday File for the Irregulars […]
