Today we’re pointing the Thinkolator at Christian Dehaemer’s latest pitch for his Bull and Bust Report ($99/yr)… and it’s got some nice undertones of patriotism to go with the daydreaming about a dive into Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin. “The government has now decided to bring chip production BACK to America! “This means investors could be […]

Friday File: Nibbling on the Way Down
We seem to be living through a washout of the market this week, as fears of inflation and Fed-spiked recession take out all of the speculative excess of the past two years… which is, really, the point of having the Federal Reserve manage interest rates, so they can raise them at times when the economy […]
This article was originally published in August of 2021, when Bill Shaw’s pitch for the “$4 Nickel Royalty Stock” was first circulating… but it seems to have new life now, we’ve gotten a bunch of questions about the same spiel recently. The ad now circulating is unchanged and still carries a July 2021 date, and […]
Matt McCall is out with a new teaser pitch for his McCall Report ($49 first year, renews at $199), the entry-level letter in his suite of products at Stansberry, and, as always, he’s the “optimism guy” when it comes to revolutionary new technologies — which might be a little hard to take this month, during […]
We’ve written a lot about the trend toward pitching genomics and DNA sequencing as the “next big thing” — most of the big newsletter publishers have some kind of spiel out that focuses on the huge growth in genomics, staking out their big winners in this space… and Charles Mizrahi is the latest, with a […]
What’s going on right now? Well, pretty much the same thing that has been going on for the past few months — inflation is raging and freaking out the Federal Reserve, which is getting more assertive in trying to slow the economy to slow that inflation, and for whatever reason the logjam was loosened a […]
Nomi Prins is circulating an “interview” as an ad for her Distortion Report ($49 first year, renews at $129) — and she actually uses Chris Hurt, the same wide-eyed and enthusiastic infomercial host as Jeff Brown has used for his pitches in recent years, which I guess makes sense, given that both Brown’s Brownstone Research […]
“This is NOT a crane or some theme park ride… “It’s the new king of the $3.3 trillion energy market… “And the little company behind it could soar for 15,900% gains…” That’s the intro spiel for the latest “hot new thing” newsletter from Angel Publishing, and lots of Gumshoe readers have asked about it over […]
Friday File: Off to Omaha
I’m on a plane to Omaha as I finish up this week’s Friday File, ready to jump into another “Woodstock for Capitalists” weekend with the Annual Meeting for Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) and, more quietly, some other investor events and the Markel (MKL) Brunch. This pilgrimage often helps me to reset my thinking as a long-term […]
I confess, I wanted to write this particular article now because it happens to be partially about a stock I’ve been watching for ages, and that finally hit my “buy” point this week… though yes, the ad for this entry-level Altimetry newsletter is also circulating heavily today, driving a lot of questions my way, even […]
This article was originally published on October 14, 2020, but we’re getting a lot of new questions about the “5G Arrow” pitch about this “small company” in recent days, so this is a re-post to answer some of those questions… and the stock teased is now back to roughly where it was in the weeks […]
Time for a look at a stock teased in ads for Nathan Slaughter’s Takeover Trader (“on sale” for $995/yr, no refunds)… it’s all about another takeover target for Amazon (AMZN), this time in the credit card space. There’s urgency to this ad, since Slaughter says this takeover could be announced following a key Amazon meeting, […]
Friday File: De-tease of “Project Petrogonia”
Not a lot of news to share about my Real Money Portfolio this week, so I thought I’d dig into a teaser solution for your Friday File… this one started running fairly recently as oil returned to “top of mind” status following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The pitch is for Luke Burgess’ Junior Mining Trader […]
This article was originally posed on March 30. Neither this article nor the ad it is based on has been updated or revised, we’re re-posting here to help answer recent reader questions. I haven’t written about Karim Rahemtulla in quite a while, so his new teaser pitch caught my eye — these days he’s pitching […]
We looked at the first stock teased for the Motley Fool’s “under $30 non-tech stocks” promo yesterday, and today, as promised, I’ll move on to number two (they don’t hint at number three, so you’re on your own there). This is the intro from their order form… “What if you could pore over every stock […]
I haven’t covered many Motley Fool pieces in recent weeks, so I thought I’d do a quick dive into one of their recent ads — it’s a pitch that promises “3 Top Non-Tech Stocks Under $30,” I guess appealing to investors who have been burned by the collapse of tech stocks, and they hint at […]
I included some of this in a comment on yesterday’s early-published Friday File, but it got quite long and I had some additional thoughts this morning, so I decided to share a more thorough update here as well, for those who are interested. No Quick Take here, sorry, though I guess my summary is, “I […]
Friday File: Culling at the Bottom of the Portfolio
I’m shifting to a “Thursday File” again this week, since most markets will close down for Good Friday and I’ll be traveling again… so, what’s going on? I’ve got a few updates to share from the Real Money Portfolio, including two companies down at the bottom of the portfolio which I sold today, a little […]
I originally published a teaser solution for this Adam O’Dell pitch on April 12, 2021, and the ad still carries a February 2021 date — but despite that date, the pitch has been modified a bit over the past year, it’s being re-circulated heavily again. This remains one of our most-requested stories, and the ad […]
De-teasing Tilson’s “America’s Next Big Monopoly”
This teaser pitch seems to have started running back in February, though it didn’t catch my attention at the time — as I go back through my inbox, I see it was initially pitched with the headline, “The Everything Chip” and touted for its 400 million “patents,” but the latest version that caught my eye, […]

It is easy to fret about missing a more attractive price, but the odds that Thursday was the low for everything for the rest of the year are not so high -- one week of wild swings down and back up is probably not enough for the market to find some real equ[...]
