I’ve had Mongolia on the brain this week, and would love to point you to some exciting investments in that (possibly) emerging commodity powerhouse — this has been a hot story of exploration and potential for at least five years, with periodic chatter about Canadian or Chinese companies who are making exploration inroads … … […]

Hsu’s “The Next New Oriental Education”
Investors who got in early on some of Robert Hsu’s other picks in the Chinese for-profit education sector could easily have done quite well (though whether that’s a result of Hsu’s prescience or fortunate timing in the China boom can be debated as much as you like), so I thought we should take a look […]
7 Comments Read MoreHigh-Yield(ish) Canadian Buys from Gordon Pape
I often find myself getting stuck in a rut writing about the same folks over and over — the Motley Fool guys, the various Agora offspring (Stansberry, Angel, etc.), Robert Hsu and Louis Navellier and their Investorplace colleagues come up over and over, largely because they’re the ones who push the most aggressive teasers … […]

“Nevada’s #1 Gold Stock … Gold Mining Changes Forever”
If there’s one asset class that attracts individual investors like lemmings every time it hits a new high, it’s gold. And if there’s one thing that newsletter publishers know, it’s to sell the people what they want … whether they know they want it or not. So today we’ve got a new high in the […]

“Double Your Money in Six Months” — Elliott Gue’s Tanker Stock
I wrote about an Elliott Gue pick for his “premium” Energy Strategist newsletter for the Irregulars over the weekend (it appeared in the delayed Friday File today), so I thought I might as well just make it an “all Gue, all the time” day and cover another one of his teasers today. Especially because he […]

Today I thought we’d take a look at an Elliott Gue teaser for a stock that he thinks will be taken over by, of all people, the Rockefellers. Or maybe it’s The Rockefellers. He’s selling his Energy Strategist newsletter … and you’ll see why this teaser specifically appealed to me in a minute. Here’s a […]
2 Comments Read MoreTaste of the Friday File: Namibia’s “Oil Kitchen”
Questions are piling in once more about Byron King’s “Oil Kitchen” teaser ads about a big oil field offshore Namibia that he hopes will mirror the huge fields offshore Brazil, so I thought I’d share the article that I wrote to the Irregulars (the paying members of Stock Gumshoe) in the Friday File on July […]
7 Comments Read More“Buried Treasure” Six-Pack Stock
Well, yesterday I wrote quite a bit about tobacco — so today, though my time is a bit short (getting the kiddos prepped for school is shortening the work week a bit), I thought I’d look into a sin stock sector that I like a lot more: alcohol. And the one that tickled my taste […]
10 Comments Read More“How I Found a $17,500 Secret In A Maryland Public Library”
I always like to see what Dan Ferris is recommending for subscribers of his Extreme Value newsletter, in part because I’m personally invested in a few of his picks that have done well (Altius Minerals and Sprott Resource), and in part because I’m generally sympathetic to the notion that long-term “value” investing is the best […]
4 Comments Read MoreA Few Buys, A Tracking Update, and Finally Some Numbers for NEP
There are a few things I want to share with you this week — I’ll update you on a few purchases I made for my personal account, including several add-ons to existing positions and one new purchase, I’ll give you my quick take on my (finally) updated tracking spreadsheets for this year, and I’ll check […]
7 Comments Read MorePeter Schiff Proposes Another High-Tech High-Yielder
I wrote about one of Peter Schiff’s teaser picks a few weeks ago, and today I’m finally following up to cover the other one. For those who don’t know Schiff’s work, he runs a brokerage firm that specializes in international investing and precious metals, with a focus, historically, on helping investors buy foreign-listed stocks that […]
31 Comments Read More“Great Online Advertising Play” owned by John Paulson, and “The Only Smart Way to Profit From Solar” (Hilary Kramer)
I wrote about Hilary Kramer and her new(ish) GameChangers newsletter for the first time just a couple weeks ago — so it’s certainly too early to judge whether her teaser stocks tend to perform as she predicts (that pick, Metalico, is down about 10% from when I wrote about it … but I don’t hold […]

“Earn $15,528 in Extra Income as This Market-Beating Stock Continues its Meteoric Rise”
I don’t write about Mark Skousen all that often, in part because he doesn’t regularly barrage us with detailed stock teasers … but I’ve had a lot of readers write in to ask me about this latest teaser ad for his Forecasts and Strategies newsletter, an ad in which he says his favorite stock kept […]
9 Comments Read MorechinaCan you Profit from China’s Giant Traffic Jam?
Today I thought we’d take a look at an issue Robert Hsu has been pushing pretty hard for about a week: Coal. The latest twist to the story is the huge traffic jam that everyone has been talking about, the massive tie-up of (mostly) coal trucks trying to get into Beijing from Inner Mongolia, which […]

So, did that headline catch your attention? That’s the heart of a new teaser ad out from Keith Fitz-Gerald, trying to get you to subscribe to the Money Map Report. The ad is all about becoming a “Kevlar Investor” by investing in “near guaranteed” 300% gains and protecting yourself from “financial terrorism.” And don’t worry, […]
