October Idea of the Month: Toll Roads and Airports
As most of you know, I spent a couple days learning at the Value Investing Congress in New York last week, a wonderful conference that attracts some of the best and brightest in value investing and gives them a great forum for sharing their ideas and methods.

Value Investing Congress, Day Two
A quick note for you during the lunch break for today’s congress: I heard some very good presentations backed up by stupendously thorough analysis this morning, including a great presentation by Kyle Bass on Japan’s debt and the debt of other heavily leveraged countries, and an argument from Michael Kao that the convertible bonds of […]

I mentioned last week that I would try to send out an update or two to the Irregulars while I’m here in Manhattan attending the Value Investing Congress … and whaddya know, I’m actually doing it! There won’t be a “regular” Friday File this week, but I’ll share this note and hopefully another one tomorrow, […]

Before I get started with today’s note, I want to let you know that the next week or so will be a little bit different — I’ll be attending the Value Investing Congress in New York next week to learn from some masters and get some new ideas for my fabulous readers, and we’ve got […]

Today’s tease didn’t come to me directly and I haven’t seen the original ad or letter where it appeared, but this excerpt was forwarded by a large number of folks who appear to have some interest in a good ‘ol blue chip-type investment. The tease must have been in some kind of subscribers-only letter for […]

A confession: I just made a huge rookie mistake — I was finishing up a different article for you and kicked the computer’s plug out of the wall … plenty of cussing going on here at Gumshoe HQ today. And worse, I screwed up my backup system and wasn’t logged in right, so I lost […]

Before I get into the main focus of today’s note, I want to share two things: First, a quick solution to another teaser, this one circulating mostly to Australians as an ad for the Diggers and Drillers newsletter from the Aussie affiliate of Agora (Port Phillip Publishing). The stock in question doesn’t trade on the […]

We’re living in a bipolar world these days, it appears — I continue to get hundreds of email promos forwarded to me every day (thanks for that, by the way — the Gumshoe doesn’t work without fuel!), but these days the most ardent requests are those for either microcap gold or rare earth miners/explorers, or […]

[The “Mainz” Teaser Term has been used several times, click here for the most recent articles] Today it’s finally time to get around to what has probably been the most-requested teaser ad of the last few weeks — if you haven’t seen it, it comes in under several different headlines all comparing this “Mainz” income […]

“Rich Man’s Market” Foreign Stock Ideas (Martin Hutchinson)
Martin Hutchinson has a new letter coming out called the Merchant Banker Alert, which seems to be focused on finding stocks that are unusual and foreign and perhaps even a bit difficult to trade, the kind of stuff that makes up, or so we’re told, the “rich man’s market” where only the wealthiest 1% invest.

I’ve got a couple things to share with you for your Friday File cavalcade of fun today, including the answer to the latest Sovereign Society teaser that I think just started running yesterday — and of course, with gold getting everyone’s attention at these lofty prices, it’s a gold teaser. So on the topic of […]

Don’t really have much (OK, anything) to add about this one, since I just profiled it for you last week and no news has come out — but my three-day waiting period expired, and I picked up a few shares of this one to tuck away. If you missed my extended thoughts on Dorchester Minerals […]

Ah, good ‘ol Robert Hsu — it looks like he recommended a stock on August 19 to his subscribers, a coal company in China at about $11, it shot up to $16 (thanks in no small part to that recommendation, I’d water), and then it collapsed over a couple weeks to the current price, under […]
7 Comments Read MoreWhat is the “Safest Gold Stock on the Planet?”
You’ll be unsurprised to hear that the rise in gold this week has caused the copywriters to enter their frenzy stage — one half expects that there will be a run on replacement keyboards as these eager souls bang away and wear out their “G”, “O”, “L” and “D” keys. Which doesn’t mean that this […]

This is a fun one to start off the week with — Christian DeHaemer, who writes the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter that got us all so gaga over Mongolia early this year has a new pick to tease for us that he calls “God’s Chosen Investment” (that Mongolian oil push continues, by the way, my […]
