Stephen Leeb is out with a new teaser pitch for his Real World Investing, and it’s pretty typical of the “high end” letters — he promises access to a secret stock that has an extraordinary asset that no one knows about… and he’ll give you the info for your $1,495 subscription payment. With no refunds, […]
Have you been watching what’s going on with the trendy pot stocks lately? Holy crap. This reminds me now of 1999 more than it reminds me of the cryptocurrency bubble of this past winter — these larger marijuana companies, like many of the dot com companies (and unlike most cryptos, of course), are real businesses […]
Michael Robinson runs the technology/venture newsletters for Money Map Press, and he’s out with yet another marijuana promo — after all, any newsletter that doesn’t jump on board the marijuana stock rocket is deemed pretty much irrelevant these days, just like any newsletter without a “crypto expert” was ignored in January. So yes, now Michael […]
Today we’ve got a teaser pitch from Marc Lichtenfeld to consider. It’s an ad for his Oxford Income Letter, but the “fountain of youth” pitch makes it sound like a wild ride of a biotech idea… so let’s dig in and see what we can find, shall we? Sometimes it’s best to start with the […]
“On October 1st, This Weird Rooftop Pod Will Deliver the Death Blow to ‘The Big 3’ Cable Companies… With One Clean Shot” That’s the opener of the latest ad for Ray Blanco’s Technology Profits Confidential, which is selling subscriptions with the promise that you can get rich and shut down America’s most hated companies at […]
I continue to get lots of questions about this Jim Rickards ad from Agora, and the ad itself has been (clumsily) updated a few times since we covered it back in November of 2017, so I’m (lightly) updating my coverage here… I’ll cut to the chase at the start and say that no, President Trump […]
This article was originally published on July 16, 2018, but questions continue to pile in so we’re re-sharing it here. It has NOT been updated or revised since July, and the ad is also unchanged as far as we can tell — the stock teased is down by a few percent. Alexander Green at the […]
A few purchases to talk to you about today, and a couple other notes as we go… mostly on the theme of risk and safety, as we close out a week with lots of news-driven volatility. Ready? Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is, in some ways, a fun way to “play” the marijuana boom with less […]
Another day, another “secret” that we’re told billionaires are using to grab big ol’ checks… all promised to you in exchange for your subscription to a newsletter. This time, it’s The Wealth Advisory from Briton Ryle over at Angel Investing — that’s an “entry level” newsletter ($49/year) that seems to focus on income investments… and […]
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 […]
Today, dear friends, we start the week with… well, some guessing. Lots of readers have asked about this latest ad from the Motley Fool Stock Advisor, so we’re going to dig in and see if we can get a good answer from the Thinkolator… but I’ll warn you up front that there aren’t enough clues […]
I keep seeing more and more marijuana teaser ads, and yes, marijuana is an exciting sector right now with legalization in Canada and probably more incremental moves toward legalization of marijuana in the US this next election cycle… but they’re still companies that we have to analyze and understand if we’re to think of these […]
Ugh, another “you get a check!” teaser pitch… these are everywhere nowadays, and they’re getting a little tiresome. But still, we aim to please… and readers are asking, so let’s get to answering. The ad this time around is from one of the Casey Research newsletters, E.B. Tucker’s Casey Strategic Investor ($99/yr), and this is […]
Entry-level newsletter designed to look for “distortions in the market.” Tucker plans for the letter to “include the most explosive stocks in the resource markets as well as core positions in world-class businesses trading at bargain prices.”
This article was originally published as part of the Friday File on August 10, 2018. It has not been updated or revised, though the stock teased is still at roughly the same price and no major news has hit since then. We’re breaking the Friday File up into two parts today — starting with this […]
“This Wednesday, September 5, a group of scientists will take the stage at a prestigious medical conference… “And announce to the world the potential end of disease as we know it.” That’s the attention-getting part of Ray Blanco’s latest teaser ad for his FDA Trader newsletter that legions of Gumshoe readers have been asking about […]
Kent Moors certainly has some talented copywriters plying his wares… we’ve been seeing his latest “buried treasure” pitch for about a week now, and today I’m finally actually finding the time to read it and get some answers for our beloved Gumshoe readers. The ad is a pitch for Moors’ Energy Advantage (currently $299), Here’s […]
Before you get sucked into reading more of my blather, take a moment and read the Wall Street Journal if you’ve got a copy nearby or an online subscription — not the whole thing, but read Christopher Mims’ column The World Isn’t as Bad as Your Wired Brain Tells You. It’s an unusually brief and […]
New (2018) entry level newsletter from Stansberry, features several special reports on big technology themes.
The latest email ad from Stansberry Research entices us into believing that Stansberry’s got the next gargantuan gainer, like Amazon or Apple… “Nearly two decades ago, one of our analysts covered an obscure online bookstore called Amazon… “And it went on to change how we shop forever. “Today it’s one of the biggest companies on […]
