Paul Mampilly’s huge marketing machine at Banyan Hill tends to drive a lot of questions our way, and this latest one about a medical marijuana stock caught my eye… but I should warn you up front that it’s a teaser ad that’s very light on clues… today we’re going to have to do some guessing. […]

This teaser solution was originally published in late January, but we’re seeing the ad pushed more again now and are getting more questions so I updated this piece to provide some more information and check in on the company. Matt Badiali has been pitching an “Infinite Oil” company in recent weeks in ads for his […]
I haven’t written about a Frank Curzio teaser for a while, so when a few readers asked about his new “$60 billion paycheck” pitch I thought I’d take a look for you… this came as an ad for his Curzio Research Advisory, which is Frank’s “entry level” newsletter (he’s offering it at $79/year currently), and […]
OK, I’ll cut right to the core point: The US economy is going to boom so aggressively over the next few years that whoever will be president is going to get re-elected, even if it means amending the constitution to ensure we get to keep Obama in office. So that’s the premise — the pitch […]
The steady thirst for 5G fortunes is far from being slaked, it appears — pretty much all publishers have some tried some kind of promotion to convince us that they have the best and most lucrative idea for investing in the next upgrade cycle in mobile telecom… and today we’re looking at the latest spiel […]
Newsletter marketers love to be able to tout a buyout and promise a double in the stock they’re recommending — they know it almost can’t help but catch your attention… and heck, if the stock’s small enough they might even be able to cause it to double just by pouring a few hundred enthused new […]
Another Motley Fool growth stock to sniff out for you today … David Gardner has gotten a reputation as a compelling “rule breaking” growth stock picker over the past few decades, with some huge winners chosen (and held through very tumultuous times) as he built the Motley Fool with his brother Tom. The flagship Motley […]
I’m still able to generate some enthusiasm about specific stocks that I think are appealing enough to buy at these prices… but I find it very hard to be optimistic in a macro sense right now, it really feels to me as though the market is whistling past the graveyard and being far too sanguine […]
You’ve almost certainly seen these ads from Paul Mampilly, the ones that start with the headline “These Warehouses Hold the Key to a $3.1 Trillion Dollar Revolution…” The ad has been running since at least the Summer of 2018, and has not really been updated at all in the interim as far as I can […]
Christian DeHaemer has a new ad out about a revolutionary new form of energy that he says will net you massive gains thanks to a “wonder vein” energy discovery in Idaho. It’s really not about this “wonder vein,” though — the discovery of this fuel in Idaho is perhaps a big deal for other companies […]
Here’s my soothsaying bit for this week, which you should feel free to ignore — like everyone else who’s predicting the future, I’m probably going to be wrong. I don’t think, even now, that we’re pricing in even the bad news that is already almost certain this year… or if we are, we’re pricing in […]
Yesterday we looked into the first “Hidden SaaS” cloud software stock hinted at in the ads for Stansberry Venture Value, and today, as promised, we’re on to number two… there’s also a third one hinted at, but the clues are pretty sparse on that one (so no promises). Let’s just jump right in — what […]
Christian Dehaemer is pitching his Crisis and Opportunity newsletter ($499!) by talking up a “Ghost Town Showdown” that he says indicates we’re on the verge of seeing big profits for the suppliers in the “driverless car” business. So, naturally, we want to know what these “secret” stocks are — driverless cars have been teased before, […]
Another week of fussing about macro issues that we can neither control nor predict, what fun! The Federal Reserve did exactly what the market demanded in cutting rates, but the market was still mad because they failed to promise that they would give us each a pony. President Trump seemed angered by the lack of […]
This ad from Ian Wyatt has been running for a little while, with some apparent variation, but he keeps aggressively re-pushing it as a “new” webinar, so our readers keep asking about it, and I haven’t covered the tease yet… so that’s our project for today. What are those top five stocks he keeps teasing? […]
Sometimes it seems like investment newsletter teasers run in trends… last week we were inundated with “smart metal” pitches, this week the questions are pouring in about Doug Casey’s “Super Metal.” I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, so many newsletter ads try to implant a short little phrase in your head that harnesses their investing […]
A pretty quiet week as I try not to overreact to market gyrations, so we’ll be briefer than usual this Friday… but there are a few interesting things to talk about…. Crown Castle (CCI) reported a “beat and raise” quarter this week, if just barely. They raised their dividend roughly as expected this week, bumping […]
This teaser pitch has been around for a few weeks, but I haven’t gotten around to covering it until now… call it marijuana fatigue, just plain laziness, or a surfeit of other hypetastic pitches, but it just didn’t rise to the top. Questions have rolled in from readers pretty consistently, though, so I’m finally digging […]
I’ve been mostly sitting on the sidelines during the “Crypto Mania” this year, because, well, anything “manic” makes me nervous and I still haven’t been able to come up with a rational price argument for any cryptocurrency…. … so I haven’t recently dug into all of the recent “Amazon is going to choose a cryptocurrency […]
A reader sent me a question on a topic that interest me, and he referenced a teaser pitch from Justin Spittler for his IPO Insider ($2,997/yr), so that caught my interest… His actual words were, “any chance of sleuthing these 2 edge computing companies?” … so that’s the goal today, but I’ll also try to […]
Yes, in the midst of a severe global surge in new cases and deaths, there are several genuinely good news items that we can pin our hopes on. Surely, you are aware of some of these, but I will attempt to put them in context. As of yesterday, from the start of pandemic to […]
Pretty much everyone who’s trying to build a large-scale newsletter issues proclamations like “stock of the year” and “stock of the decade,” since such claims get attention… after all, attention is the currency of the online marketer. So we’ll take this with a wee grain of salt, but here’s the beginning of Andy Snyder’s latest […]

I decided to add the year to my title in the event that this thing goes on for another full year, and I have to do an update in May 2021. I pray fervently that such an eventuality will not come to pass, but it’s certainly possible. Having said that, your obedient servant […]
Have you ever heard the quote, “nothing tastes as good as thin feels?” Such sayings have been attributed to waif model Kate Moss, plenty of her anorexic fans, and dozens of others in the perfection industry (including Stephen Covey), and I’ll confess that the sentiment has never resonated with me even a little bit (as […]

The Crisis That No One’s Talking About… JUSTIN SPITTLER APRIL 14, 2020What is the stock Justin is talking about here? “Keep it simple, stupid.” A mentor of mine told me this early in my career. At the time, I thought it was a bit harsh. But the words stuck with me. They helped make me the investor I am today. Unlike many investors, I try not […]

I listened to a sales pitch last night for over 1 hour that was geared to Paul Mampilly’s Banyan Hill suckers and was waiting for the 3 stocks that would pay returns of at least 100x or better , what I got at the end was an opportunity to sign up for the service for […]

A version of this article was published on January 13, 2020, when Mampilly’s ads first called this his “#1 Stock for 2020”, and though the ad is unchanged we’re seeing it a lot again now — most recently, the ads from Banyan Hill now say that this “$10 Stock Gets ‘All In’ Buy Alert on […]
It’s been a wild week. The mood was still pretty upbeat on Monday and Tuesday, a little anxiety but a lot of complacency (including mine)… I was in Toronto early this week, with plenty of hand washing and hand sanitizer but no real signs of panic or changes in lifestyle for most folks — the […]
It’s been an unusually active month in the Real Money Portfolio — a couple big sells, several brand new positions, and quite a bit more churn than I usually have. Those transactions have mostly been fairly small, the largest position that I opened or closed was the sale of my sub-2% Facebook position, but that’s […]

Earnings season is winding down, with only a few of my larger holdings yet to report, and so is my Annual Review of all of the stocks in my Real Money Portfolio — so I’ve got another installment of that for you today, sharing my updated opinion on a bunch of holdings (including a few […]
I think what I hate most about subscribing to any Motley Fool newsletters is the bombardment of ads for more newsletters. Today’s ad was for the Blast Off 2020 letters for $1499 or some other version of it for $1999. Whenever I’ve tried other newsletters, I’ve ended up disappointed and really only like 2, Advisor […]
Matt McCall’s out with another high-priced promo letter that promises the potential for huge gains — this time, by finding the stocks that he thinks will benefit from China’s massive increase in health care spending in the years to come. The ad is for his Early Stage Investor, and he claims to be making a […]

To start with I would describe my idea […]
