Today’s tempting teaser is from the Motley Fool brothers, Dave and Tom Gardner — well, they didn’t write the ad, that fell to the publisher so they didn’t have to get their hands dirty with hucksterism, but they’re the ones recommending the stocks. The ad’s theme is an update on one that they’ve been using […]

Catchup, part two: Buys, sells, holds and “I dunno’s”
A couple weeks ago I started my annual navel-gazing exercise of looking back at past “idea of the month” stock (and other investment) suggestions — that first look covered the first year or so of these more formalized ideas for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars, from 2008 to mid-2009, and now we’ll try to catch up. […]

“Bank 1369% Off Mongolia’s Secret Uranium Rush”
Today I’m running late for a performance by one of my fabulously talented children, so I have to give you just a brief answer and open up the floor for questions and comments — let you, in short, do the research without much of a head start from me. I can, however, at least tell […]

Sometimes a tease comes in as a heavy promo push, sometimes it’s a slightly more subtle pile of hints in a free article that gently suggests that you subscribe to their premium service … today’s item for sleuthification is the latter. Louis Basenese, who is pitching for the White Cap Report, wrote a free article […]

Here’s how Louis Navellier pitches his next uber-hot idea for a stock that gives you three phone numbers on one phone and 10-bagger profits: “Last May I told you about a new wireless juggernaut whose 3-in-one proprietary technology and earnings growth matched Envirodyne, which handed us a monster 1,700% gain a few years back. “Since […]

I can’t tell you that Christian DeHaemer, who’s now one of the editors of Energy and Capital and runs the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter for those same publishers, is pushing Somali oil right now — but I can say that an offhand aside he threw into a recent free article had lots of my readers […]
7 Comments Read MoreSecond Xerox Buy
Since I noted in passing on Friday that I had a limit order in for some additional Xerox shares, I should tell you that the limit order triggered not long after I wrote to you — so I’ve beefed up my XRX position now and am pleased to have picked up some additional shares at […]
11 Comments Read More“Stalin’s Atomic Secret” (Byron King Rare Earths)
Man oh man, I’ve been using completely the wrong strategy. Clearly, since last Summer when the rare earth element mining (or let’s be honest, “exploring for”) stocks started taking off like gangbusters whenever the Chinese flexed their muscles, the newsletter copywriters started wetting their pants in excitement. And what I should have done was look […]

This is now the second time we’ve seen a “nighttime solar energy” pick from the folks at Angel Publishing — last time it was for a solar spray-on film innovation, in a pitch for Green Chip Stocks Premium where they claimed that a company had “perfected sunless solar,” and this time it’s a pitch from […]
36 Comments Read MoreAdding to Sprott Resource Position
This won’t surprise those of you who’ve been reading my various notes in recent weeks, but today I added considerably to my holdings in Sprott Resource (SCP in Toronto, SCPZF on the pink sheets). The shares do not trade at a huge discount, but after the exercise of warrants recently they now have a market […]

“One of the Hidden Internet Pioneers of 2011”
Last week I started taking a look at a Nancy Zambell teaser for her Buried Treasure Under $10 newsletter, and I’ve had quite a few folks chime in that they’d like to hear about her second stock as well … so here goes: Zambell’s pitch is that she finds unknown, undervalued stocks at low prices […]

How can you find sacks of treasure located around 776 cities around the country? That’s the pitch from Retirement Millionaire from Stansberry & Associates — the ad, which is one of those good ol’ video ads that doesn’t happen to link to a text version, even includes a “treasure map” of those cities around the […]
35 Comments Read MoreJanuary Idea of the Month: Blue Chip Growth and Dividends
Much of the time I end up profiling companies in this space that are quite small, relatively unknown, and perhaps a bit difficult to trade. I’m sure I’ll continue to do that in the future as interesting companies cross my radar, but today, with my level of uncertainty about the global economy fairly high, I […]

It’s been a little while since I wrote about a Nancy Zambell teaser — she writes the Buried Treasures Under $10 newsletter, and in the short history of that letter she’s apparently had pretty good performance … and, one expects, makes it sound even better than it was (the letter launched two years ago, almost […]
