Hello, Gumshoe friends! I’ve been off the grid for a little while, but it’s good to be back — and it’s nice to see the pile of hot, steaming teaser pitches that have larded up my inbox over the past couple weeks. So… which one to look at first? I’ve had a lot of requests […]
Premium-priced monthly newsletter that seeks to recommend small or early-stage investments, launched in 2018.
Today I’m leaving you with just a short note for your Friday File, as I wrap things up to vacation with family — Stock Gumshoe will be closed next week, and we’ll be back on our regular publishing schedule on July 9… enjoy! One of the things that we do to keep us sane here […]
Every now and then a reader sends in a question about one of the stock ideas teased by dividend.com, which is a service that looks for, you guessed it, dividend paying stocks. Their standard “tease” is that they send around some hints about the latest stock they’ve added to one of their “best” lists, but […]
The Infinite Income newsletter last crossed our paths when they were promising “Trump Bonus Checks,” which was certainly silly, and the ad I’ve been looking at today takes a tack that sounds a little bit familiar — they now say you can “piggyback” on the Swiss social security system and get big ol’ monthly checks. […]
Huh, you say? Operation SPARCSTAR? True, not all of you will have seen this ad — it’s for a UK newsletter, but it caught my eye and I thought it might be interesting to dig in and see what they’re pitching. And I’m actually in London at the moment, so it seems appropriate to toss […]
Here’s the teaser pitch from Lombardi’s Moe Zulfiqar that caught my eye as he shouts out the headline, “A 1,000% Windfall from the New King of Online Retail“… Here’s some more from the first part of the ad, which is sniffing around in an attempt to dig up new subscribers to Lombardi’s Micro-Cap Tech Reporter […]
UK-based small-cap technology newsletter.
Today we’re going to start you out with a quickie teaser solution, and I’m going to keep it quick mostly because this one is largely a connect-the-dots guess, given the limited number of clues that were dropped in the ad. The ad is from Marin Katusa, who went off on his own after leaving Casey […]
Everyone hates their cable company and their wireless company. When we used to have home phones, we hated Ma Bell, too… everyone who has a monopoly or near-monopoly and uses that to keep prices and profits high and customer service low gets ranked pretty far up the “hate” list, whether its the airlines or the […]
What’s on the docket today? An ad for Jim Woods’ Successful Investing, which seems to be a newly revamped version of that longtime “entry level” investment newsletter (founded by Dick Fabian — Jim took over the Successful line of letters when Dick’s son, Doug Fabian, left the newsletter business in 2017). The letter is being […]
I’ve only written once about the Smallcap Discoveries service, so when several readers sent in questions about its “what if you could live to 200?” pitch, I decided to dig in a little. Longevity is a frequent focus of the alternative health crowd, promising life extension to those most obviously interested in the topic (who […]
I haven’t written about a blockchain, bitcoin or cryptocurrency teaser pitch for a while, so when the questions started piling up about the “Banker’s Coin” being teased by Barry Cohen in ads for his new Crypto Intelligence newsletter with Curzio Research, well, I thought I should at least try to get some answers for you. […]
Cryptocurrency trading newsletter launched in June 2018, aims to help investors “navigate the new era of cryptocurrencies.”
This counts as a “holy crap!” week when it comes to earnings, not because of any huge reporting that moved the market but because of the surge by just one stock, our fad retailer Five Below (FIVE) after earnings on Wednesday night. FIVE is generally lumped into the “dollar store” category, it’s the teen-focused retailer […]
A few weeks ago we covered a teaser pitch for the Irregulars in the Friday File, all about Zack Scheidt’s marijuana tease about an expected takeover for a tiny little Canadian pot stock… and today, as a bonus, we’re opening it up for all our regular readers. Not much has happened since then — the […]
This “tease” isn’t from a regular ad, it’s from a “free” article that Porter Stansberry posted earlier this week… but a couple readers asked about it, and I was curious myself, so I jumped in to check out the clues. Maybe it’s just that this ad hints at a non-sexy and rational-sounding investment at a […]
This ad makes me sad in many ways, but readers have been asking… so let’s get you some answers. Here’s part of the intro email from Ian Wyatt, who’s pitching a “urgent trade alert” that will be part of another of his webinars (or if you want to be old-fashioned, “infommercials”) to be hosted on […]
Today we check in again on Chris Mayer, he’s sending out ads for his Chris Mayer’s FOCUS newsletter ($2,500) over at Bonner & Partners, and his ideas are often interesting. His big focus in recent years has been trying to back-test qualitatively to identify the things that made huge investment successes possible — and specifically […]
The last time we were inundated with a junior mining promo from Nick Hodge it was about that “tiny 50 cent mine” that was about to get the “green light” from Trump’s EPA, and that one has done quite well so far — that was Midas Gold, which I wrote about back when they started […]
