“Cash In on China’s $608 Billion ‘Dragon’s Thirst’” (Chris Mayer)
Here’s the latest pitch from Chris Mayer for his Mayer’s Special Situations newsletter: “It’s the ONE resource more precious than oil, natural gas or gold. Without it, China’s growth — and the world’s — will likely come to a screeching halt. “Read on to discover the ONE tiny penny stock that has the breakthrough technology […]

I noted when I stopped out of part of my Xerox position a while back that I planned to hold the balance for a while to see how the market might reconsider what I still think is a too-low valuation on the shares. But I changed my mind. I’m closing out my Xerox position at […]

A stock that I’ve owned for a while reported a weak quarter due to the terrible conditions in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin oilfields where they do the bulk of their work — and the stock is down a bit as a result. I think that’s an opportunity to buy more, so I’ve added to […]
Leave a comment Read MoreJoining you in an Idea of the Month …
Well, you probably got the hint that I like this stock back when I wrote about it as my Idea of the Month for August, about a week and a half ago. And now, to make things official, I’m buying some myself — I picked up some shares of Golar LNG today. Since I wrote […]

Sometimes I look back and realize I’ve been a dope. This is one of those times. I’ve been holding and/or actively buying shares of stocks that benefit from the mobile revolution and from the massive consumer businesses the breakthrough products from Apple (iPhone and iPad) have essentially created from scratch over the last couple years […]

Lombardi’s “How to Buy Gold and Get Silver for Free”
That sounds like an enticing headline, right? It’s getting to the point where, with gold at $1,900 an ounce, I’m going to have to start writing about gold mining stocks again — the teasers are piling up, and the querulous villagers are storming Gumshoe Castle and demanding answers. And since so many folks have not […]

”They Stole $267 billion of King Saud’s Oil”
Your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe is still working feverishly on the new and improved StockGumshoe.com that we hope to be introducing in the weeks to come, so today we’re sharing an older article that originally appeared in the Irregulars-only Friday File. I’ve shortened the article to remove some of my blather, but it has not been […]

The following is an excerpt from an article I published for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars (our paid members) in the Friday File on July 1. It has NOT been updated, though I don’t believe there’s been official news from the company in the interim, and the ad it’s based on is running again with much […]

If you’re hearing the “market panic, buy dividend-paying stalwarts” advice that seems to be coming from all corners of the investment world, and if that advice rings true to you, there’s really only one thing I’d tell you: Buy DTN. That’s the WisdomTree dividend ETF that excludes financial stocks (most dividend ETFs are heavily into […]

Buying a Smidge more Seadrill
As I’ve noted over the last week, I’ve got my eye on a number of stocks that seem like long-term winners to me, and which are taking a bit of a beating. Among those is Seadrill, my limit order at around $27.50 hit today and I’ve thus increased my holdings a little bit. At the […]

Yesterday I started looking into some Mark Skousen-teased ideas for ways to profit when the Chinese bubble bursts — today, as promised, we’ll steer the Thinkolator further along this same path and see if we can identify the other ideas he pitched. If you missed part one of our journey, you can see it here. […]

Today’s teasers come in from Mark Skousen, who edits the Forecasts & Strategies newsletter and has graced our pages a few times in the past — most recently when he touted Cubist Pharmaceuticals very aggressively as a “winning lottery ticket” and “superbug killer” (that one did quite well, thanks to both the FDA and a […]

On days like this, we see a relatively small number of stock-pickers come out aggressively pushing a “buy this one stock” idea — I suppose that’s partly because newsletter editors like to see the market shake out before going out on a limb, and also probably partly because the way to make money in this […]
