Today I’m starting my Annual Review, during which I take a (hopefully fresh-eyed) look at every stock in my Real Money Portfolio and update my opinion for you (and, frankly, for me, since it’s a good exercise). Some of these stocks pop up in my writing practically every week, but for others where there might […]
This is a teaser pitch that we solved back in May of 2018, but folks continue to ask about it… and our older article is getting pretty stale, so we’re digging in for an updated look today. The headline of the ad pretty much says it all: “The little-known Washington D.C. financial “think tank” that […]
Jeff Brown’s “Timed Stocks” pitch is essentially just another spiel about “buying biotech stocks before a catalyst event,” but it’s wrapped up in one of those video “summit” meetings that implies it’s something beyond a newsletter ad… and it’s so filled with massive promises of potential 1,000%+ gains that it’s driving a lot of Gumshoe […]
The “end of cash” story has been around for a long time, and it has fueled several waves of investment teaser ads over the past decade or so… which led me to wonder whether DeHaemer is pitching anything new or different in the ads for his Bull and Bust Report (currently $99/yr). So let’s dig […]
There seems to be no limit to the number of different 5G pitches we can absorb… the newsletter pundits of the world have their teeth into this latest telecom trend, and they’re not letting go until they’ve signed up every possible subscriber. The promise this time is that a small company possesses the “Master Key” […]
A quickie teaser solution for you today as we enjoy the peace and quiet of a holiday when the market is closed… and we spend most of our day away from work, trying to spend some time reflecting on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The ad I was asked about a few […]
Happy New Year! Today I’ve got a teaser solution for you from one of the Cabot newsletters, and you’ll see in a minute why I chose to cover this one in the Friday File… and I’ve also got a few portfolio updates to share as the year gets underway and I finish up this first […]
A different version of this article was originally published on September 25, 2019. The ad in question is still running, this time with a new “key date” of February 24 (it was December 10) and a different price ($7 from $5, to match the move up in the stock), but the main focus is the […]
I need to start with this part, the most ludicrous promise made in the ad: “This little-known company, which you can still get in early on today, is at the forefront of this $15.7 trillion economic revolution. “Right now, it does about $3.3 billion in revenue annually… “Next year, I expect it to hit $100 […]
This pretty well sums up the pitch from Dave Forest in recent ads for Casey’s International Speculator ($1,995/yr, no refunds): “I believe these three rare earth stocks are a “lock” to go up 60x over the next few months… turning $500 into $30,000… and $5,000 into $300,000. “Demand is soaring… “Supply is shrinking… “President Trump […]
Paul Mampilly is out with a teaser pitch headlined “America 2.0” that I can only describe as “big patriotic optimism” — he thinks we’re at the point of beginning a new huge wave higher for the US economy as demographics, capital availability, and the “economic velocity” in the economy converge to generate big growth. Which […]
Happy New Year! I’m back at Gumshoe HQ and ready for more teaser de-teasing, and the questions piling up on my doorstep today are mostly about this “world’s largest silver mine” pitch from Stansberry’s Silver Stock Analyst… so let’s dig right in. This is the intro from the ad that I saw a bunch of […]
Silver-focused advisory from Goody’s Gold Stock Analyst team, focused on selecting the top silver stocks and reporting on that “top five” portfolio. Formerly titled GSA-Silver.
Every year we call out a “turkey” stock teaser around Thanksgiving time and poke a bit of fun at some terrible investment ideas… … so it seems only fair to highlight a few winners as well, and this week, when we’re otherwise closed for the holiday, seems a good time to spread some cheer and […]
Whitney Tilson has a new teaser pitch out for his entry-level newsletter… the bait to pull you in to read the ad is “America’s #1 Retirement Stock,” and then he also hints at the other four components of the “perfect portfolio” … so I thought I’d dig into that for you and see what we […]
Entry level newsletter from Tilson/Stansberry’s Empire Financial Research, plans to recommend one large cap US stock per month for 3-5 year holding periods.
Heydy ho, Gumshoe friends… today I’m going to go a little over my allotted time, this is the last Friday File for 2019 so I’m going to throw in a teaser solution for you first, then go over some updates and changes and news items from the Real Money Portfolio… ready? The teaser that some […]
This article was originally published on September 18, 2019, but we’re getting lots of questions about the ad as it’s being re-circulated with Bill O’Reilly’s “You Gotta Tell Me What the Stock Is, I’m Hooked!” teaser line today. The stock is at roughly the same price it was when first teased three months ago, and […]
Here’s the beginning of the latest teaser pitch from the Eagle Financial folks… “There is a company that doesn’t make or sell anything—yet, it earns over $3 billion a year. “It occupies this futuristic-looking building (its world headquarters) in the heart of New York City. “And it’s been turning ordinary investors into multi-millionaires.” And, actually, […]
Jimmy Mengel is out with a new marijuana stock ad for us, teasing the “next king” of the sector as he looks for more winners… and, of course, he’d like you to subscribe to his newsletter to learn what this next winner might be (actually, he’s pitching this as “you buy my $99 report, nonrefundable, […]
