This ad sounds a little bit like a very popular one we looked at a few months back — then, it was for $1 “Silver Shots”, and it was a teaser for a leveraged derivative trade on silver futures (or, in plainer speak, it was for long-term call options on the SLV ETF). If you […]

Dr. David Eifrig is one of the Stansberry writer/editors, and for a couple of years now he has put out the Retirement Millionaire newsletter that seems to be largely focused on ways to get special perqs and discounts as a retireee … as well as a bit of financial commentary and ideas, I’m told (I […]
And our Annual Review proceeds apace… on a day when the market is showing signs of actually having a meaningful correction, thanks to Friday jitters and inflation worries and rising interest rates… so cross your fingers for better prices in the week to come (I did buy a couple positions this week, but as I […]
The last teaser pitch I looked at from Brett Owens turned out to be very fortuitously timed — he was teasing several health care REITs as his way to “benefit from the biggest demographic shift in US history” back in early February, and that turned out to be just a few days before the sector […]
Paul Tracy is out again with a similar ad to one he shared a year ago, teasing his top ten stocks for next year — and, like last year, there’s a lot of interest among the Gumshoe readership … so let’s see if we can name those hinted-at picks for you. The basic idea is […]
The Motley Fool has for most of this year been teasing their Shopify (SHOP) recommendation with headlines that tout the fact that SHOP’s CEO is “betting” $560 million (or now $780 million) on the stock, but today we’ve got a slightly different spiel… this time it’s Tom Gardner, Motley Fool CEO and half of the […]
Remember when an Apple product event used to be exciting? Waiting on pins and needles for that “one more thing” to be pulled out of a hat by Steve Jobs? Those memories made yesterday’s product intros just plain depressing (slightly better iPads! Slightly better phones! Guess what price our streaming service will be!) … but […]
[what follows was originally published in 2012 and 2013, it has not been updated (the pitch for the service remains similar, presumably the strategy does as well) but is being brought up to the top of the page because so many readers are asking about it this week.] It appears that Porter Stansberry is pushing […]
When the world looks bleak, the skies darken, and the locusts appear to be swarming on CNBC, we can always count on one thing: Newsletter editors will be trying whatever they can to convince you that they see the way forward, or that they have a safe haven for your money. Karim Rahemtulla is no […]
These kinds of secret income pitches get sent around all the time, and that’s been true ever since Stock Gumshoe started publishing in 2007 — some of our very first articles were about deciphering the “secrets” behind schemes described as “801k Plans” (because they’re “twice as good as 401k plans“) and other terms that are […]
I’ve had a bunch of new questions about this almost evergreen Motley Fool ad for their Stock Advisor service, so I thought I’d share some answers with you here — partly because this is a stock that I write about a lot for our paying members, since it’s a substantial part of my portfolio, but […]
It’s been a wild ride for the past couple weeks of coronavirus panic, and this week has been especially crazy (and still isn’t quite over)… though it’s encouraging that my Real Money Portfolio has been a little bit stronger than the market so far this year — partly because of brilliant stock selection, I’d like […]
Mitchell Clark edits Passive Monthly Income for Lombardi, and an ad of theirs this week promises great gains from “PRIP” investments… … so, naturally, we want to know what those are. Right? I don’t know if we want to subscribe to Passive Monthly Income or not, that’s one of dozens of newsletters published by Lombardi, […]
Elliott Gue will be a familiar name to longtime Gumshoe readers — he’s been a fixture in newsletter land for as long as we’ve been around (Stock Gumshoe’s sixth birthday was a couple months ago, thanks very much), and he’s got a new home. He ran the venerable Personal Finance letter for a while and […]
Before I get into a bunch of updates for companies I follow and/or own, with some good news and some bad news, I do have a quick teaser solution to toss on the fire for you… This one I got late today, and it’s from the Oxford Club’s Dave Fessler — he’s pitching his Oxford […]
This one’s a little bit different, since the Motley Fool is selling not a subscription necessarily, but a special report called “The NEW Rule Makers: 5 Power Stocks You’ll Never Want to Sell.” Rule Makers is an old term from the Motley Fool lexicon, they’re the ideal evolution from the “Rule Breakers” that Dave Gardner […]
The folks at the Motley Fool like to make a lot of the success of their “double down” or “double play” or “triple play” stocks, which generally is a reference to stocks that are either picked by both of the founding Fool brothers (David and Tom Gardner, who together choose the stocks for their flagship […]
The response was pretty overwhelmingly positive when I started sending out those “Trade Note” emails this week… so I’ll stick with it for a while, at least, and see how this goes. What does that mean? Same day buy/sell notes about my Real Money Portfolio will be sent to the Irregulars going forward, in hopes […]
A question from a reader today echoes the sentiment that I’m hearing from a lot of other folks, so I’m going to run with it… and that will lead me into looking at a teaser pitch for a bearish options trading service. Here’s the question: “I’m a believer in an impending crash. What do we […]
The ides of February are dismal and dreary here in the wet and grey Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, but we remain hopeful of the sunshine to come. What do I have to share with you, dear Irregulars, as we seek a little brightness to end the week? Well, I do have a few buys to […]
As growth stocks give up their premium multiples, investors have been betting that the recent trend toward “value” stocks will really kick in and reward investors who bet on stability and low valuations over growth and growth potential. Maybe that tendency to move to “value” will continue, who knows — it’s hard to have any […]
I very rarely get asked about teaser pitches from outside the US and Canada, even though the financial publishing model has certainly migrated to most of the developed markets in the world… so when someone asks about a teaser pitch from another country, it catches my attention. And that leads us to today’s article. The […]
The Motley Fool is launching yet another “upgrade” portfolio service to start this year, they call it Showdown 2022 and it’s essentially an evolution of what Stock Advisor used to be — Motley Fool Stock Advisor started as essentially a monthly competition between brothers David and Tom Gardner, with each picking a stock each month […]
High-end newsletter from Motley Fool, focusing on emerging biotechnologies.
Upgrade service from Fool Canada which recommends a large portfolio of microcap stocks for long-term growth.
New marijuana-focused service launched in late 2022, recommends stock and option trades to bet on the growth of the sector as legalization spreads.
There’s a new take from the Motley Fool that a lot of folks are asking about recently, a “rare triple-buy alert” for a “practically perfect ‘mini-Berkshire’”, all in an ad to entice new subscribers to their flagship Motley Fool Stock Advisor newsletter (currently $99 for the first year, “list price” $199), and for those of […]
PAUL MAMPILLY’S 100X – SEASON 3Hello Everyone I saw the text from Lazutinku , Hopefully everyone will see this thread and we get goin
The Motley Fool sent out another internal tease in their Investor Digest this week, as a pitch to upsell their readers to Tom Gardner’s Discovery: IPO Trailblazers service ($1,999/yr, no refunds)… so, naturally, we wanna know what it is, right? We’ve covered this IPO Trailblazers newsletter a few times — it was started as one […]
More Royalties, Please… The world of precious metals royalties has been quietly changing a bit, with new entrants and some rising interest in gold as inflation concerns have heated up this year, so there are a few updates to share… but first… If you don’t know what royalties are, they’re best thought of as a […]
Portfolio service from Tom Gardner at the Motley Fool, aims to build a portfolio of Buffett-inspired stocks in companies who have “pricing power”. Formerly called Motley Fool Discovery Moneymakers.
The Motley Fool’s Market Pass service offered up a teaser pitch over the weekend about a new stock that is being recommended by Rich Greifner… here’s how the email got everyone excited: “It’s less than 24 hours until the market opens, so I’ll get straight to the most exciting story I’ve ever shared in Investor […]
“Greatest hits” portfolio service that includes several of the entry-level Motley Fool newsletters (Stock Advisor, Rule Breakers, Everlasting Stocks, Rule Your Retirement and Real Estate Winners), with the “upgrade” offer mostly being that they’re picking the ideas they believe are most exciting from those services in an “ultimate portfolio.”
Would this be nice to stick $1000.00 to $10,000.00 down for you bigger investors. I’m not there yet but if we can find this, we’ll, maybe! These are actual investment recommendations my brother David and I have shared with The Motley Fool community over the years – and the list goes on and on! But […]
“Election-proof… Pandemic-proof… Crash-proof… This tiny tech stock is the rare…TRIPLE THREAT” That’s the teaser headline from the ads I got over the weekend about Dave Lashmet’s favorite COVID-19 testing stock, a pick that he’s apparently making for his Stansberry Venture Technology newsletter… and Stansberry has a massive reach, and it’s a very expensive service (currently […]
This is one of the upgrade “portfolio service” offerings from the Motley Fool, promising more specific portfolio allocation advice in a concentrated portfolio built around a specific theme — in this case, the theme is “Ownership-Minded companies” “run by leaders that treat their stakeholders like owners”. Edited by Fool CEO Tom Gardner. Formerly called Motley […]

What is this stock, they are advertising? Here’s why we are ”tripling down” on this one stock? Motley Fool Issues Rare Triple-Buy Alert! This company is so incredible that it actually reminds me of Berkshire Hathaway – Warren Buffett’s company that grew from being a tiny microcap stock into a massive $550 billion behemoth over […]
Today’s teaser ad that we’ll be feeding to the Thinkolator is for Bill Poulos’ Premium Income Alert ($1,997/year) from Profits Run, and it’s a doozy, funneling two hype-filled trends into one stock idea. Premium Income Alert is not a service we’ve looked at before, but it’s billed as a “weekly trading service” (the “upgrade” option […]
“Upgrade” service from Profits Run that focuses on generating income, with roughly one trading recommendation every week, including at least some options trades.
