They reported some results yesterday -- a third of people in the trial experienced weight loss of 5% in three months for their latest cohort. That sounds worse than the numbers that got folks excited last year, but I haven't been following it closely... i[...]

Many data providers will tell you the number of shares that are sold short, or the short shares as a percent of the float. Those are shares that have been borrowed and sold short, if it's a meaningful part of the float that can certainly impact the price.[...]

Yep, here you go: https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/international-speculator/whats-the-81-cent-stock-that-dave-forest-calls-the-5g-keystone/[...]

Haven't seen any really different ads along those lines, so I'll keep an eye out but it's probably still the same, [...]

Melvin Capital was short, which meant they had borrowed GME shares and sold them, with the intention of buying them back at some point in the future at a lower price so they could return those borrowed shares (lots of others were short, too, GME had among [...]

I'm sure I'll have some additional comments to share by Friday, but for now I'm just watching the NASCAR race and wondering when we'll see a giant crash -- hopefully we won't see stray wheels come flying up into the stands. I did pull together a list of t[...]

True, 1.21 is roughly the average price it has traded at in recent weeks... and a rational price to pay, I think, but no reason to fret about the offering — we’ll be able to buy at that price or lower on the market over the coming months, I’m sure. [...]

They publish a 10 stocks list each year, and every month in their intro newsletter they pick the 10 “Best Buy” picks for that month out of the hundreds in their model portfolio. That language at the bottom of the article will appear at the bottom of t[...]

Thanks mouse... planning to keep waking up every morning to go to work for my favorite readers for as long as I can :)[...]

It has also lost 70-80% a few times. These kinds of companies aren’t for the risk-averse, that’s for sure.[...]

A perfectly valid way to think, but you have to accept that it will keep you out of most smaller or clinical stage biotech companies and relatively young growth companies — some companies get valued by investors based on their income statement or balance[...]

Nope, the stocks they can provide access to are not usually the ones that you’d probably most want to buy, in my experience. And the private markets often get ahead of themselves, too, so odds are pretty good that it will be available at similar or bett[...]

Oops, yes — will fix the typo.[...]

Definitely not a match for those clues, Zynga is huge in comparison ($11 billion market cap)[...]

That’s been true this week, I guess, though these are crazy times... things will presumably settle down again. Someday. In cases where a stock is driven up just because of a teaser ad pitch, that pressure pushing the shares higher usually only lasts a[...]

Still Hon Hai, which he's been similarly pitching for years -- covered here: https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/oxford-club/alex-greens-single-stock-retirement-plan/[...]

Yes, it's Sila... and no, you can't currently invest in it. A bait and switch on the idea of Sila, but an actual investment in something more ordinary -- the ad's been running for almost a year now, covered here: https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/profi[...]

I’ve never written about a pitch for that one.[...]

RB and SA can’t recommend microcaps, they’re both so huge they can barely recommend large cap stocks without jolting the share price. This pitch, whether for SHSP or IZEA or something else, is for their smaller (and pricier) Market Pass service.[...]

Nope, as I said, not sure of this one at all. Sharpspring and a few others are very similar on the few metrics given.[...]
