I can’t pick on Robert Hsu too much for this, because it’s just about the most popular turn of hyperbolic phrase around for tv pundits and newsletter writers … but really, I’ve had just about enough of “back up the truck.” Not only does it not make much sense — does backing up the car […]

For the last couple days commodities stocks have been taking a serious beating, including the big lead horse for earnings season, Alcoa, which is down big today. But notwithstanding these few weak days, clearly commodities of all kinds (softs like the grains, metals, energy, even coffee and cocoa) have been shooting out the lights lately. […]
This ad came in fast and hard over the weekend, behind the full marketing might of the folks at Investorplace in service of Asia Edge, Robert Hsu’s more expensive pan-Asia newsletter. And it looks like they’re using some of the tested and (one assumes) successful marketing strategies that got Louis Navellier a lot of attention […]
Well, as you can imagine, the “GUARANTEED” part of that headline isn’t my word — nor are the rest of ’em, for that matter, I borrowed it all from the latest teaser for Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge newsletter. In that ad, Robert (or his intrepid copywriters) tell us about a Japanese exporter that will jump […]
Ah, good ‘ol Robert Hsu — it looks like he recommended a stock on August 19 to his subscribers, a coal company in China at about $11, it shot up to $16 (thanks in no small part to that recommendation, I’d water), and then it collapsed over a couple weeks to the current price, under […]
If you’re going to start your ad off with a line like this: “One Stock is the Difference between a Good 2011 and a Rolling-in-the-Dough 2011 … AND YOU DON’T OWN IT!” Well, you’re going to get the Gumshoe’s attention. I haven’t had a good “roll in the dough” since Scrooge McDuck invited me over […]
Today I thought we’d take a look at an issue Robert Hsu has been pushing pretty hard for about a week: Coal. The latest twist to the story is the huge traffic jam that everyone has been talking about, the massive tie-up of (mostly) coal trucks trying to get into Beijing from Inner Mongolia, which […]
A quickie here from Robert Hsu — he just sent an email out telling us (after an exhaustive recounting of his successful China calls, including the Chalco play that Skousen has also been touting), that there will be a big pop in one of his favorite China stocks next Tuesday. Well, that sounds pretty precise […]
Another tease from Robert Hsu and his Chinese stock advisory service, sent in by a reader — this time, the breakthrough is in solar power, and the tease lays the groundwork with two keys: One, China is in desperate need of power (mention Three Rivers Dam, oil exploration in Africa, thirst for growth). They have […]
Robert Hsu is having an easier time selling his service these days, I imagine — things were pretty quiet on the teaser front for his China Strategy newsletter when China was in full-fledged stock market collapse, but the remarkable bounceback from those lows this year has made us all love the Middle Kingdom again (even […]
This email teaser came in from Robert Hsu, and it includes a couple companies we’ve teased out before but also several new ones. The tease is for Hsu’s Asia Edge service, his expensive one that costs $2,995 a year … you get the seven bubble proof Asia stocks “Free” when you start a subscription. But […]

Robert Hsu’s copywriters can tease your credit card out of your wallet as quick as just about anyone, but the clues I wanted to dig through today are from something that Robert Hsu wrote that poses as an actual “article” on his AsiaInsider site — this is all about one of his China stocks that […]
Here’s how this ad begins: “Industrial output dropped 35% in December “Exports sank 46% from 2007 “Unemployment to hit 6% in 2009 “Sony, Nissan and NEC are warning of huge losses that will eliminate tens of thousands of jobs “Japan’s economic minister warns, “The worst is yet to come.” Well that sounds nasty, eh? Robert […]
Investors who got in early on some of Robert Hsu’s other picks in the Chinese for-profit education sector could easily have done quite well (though whether that’s a result of Hsu’s prescience or fortunate timing in the China boom can be debated as much as you like), so I thought we should take a look […]
This is another one from Robert Hsu’s Asia Edge, which focuses on finding the best investments in China and throughout Asia … and costs $2,995 a year, more than I feel like spending at the moment. So I’d like to find out what he considers to be the “almost perfect stock.” The email is generally […]
That headline carries the promise of Robert Hsu’s latest tease, and since I shared some “rerun” articles of his with subscribers to the Stock Gumshoe Daily Update on Friday, I thought I might as well have a look at a “fresh” one today. And yes, he puts right in the headline that “Hint: It’s not […]
This is a little weekend refresher, for folks who might have missed the writeup the first time around. Robert Hsu has been touting a Canadian oil sands stock that is a play on China, since China is interested in buying their product or partnering with them. And the company is a better buy now than […]
Today we’re taking a look at a Robert Hsu teaser once again — this time it’s for his China Strategy newsletter, which he’s currently got “on sale” for about a hundred bucks a year. And he’s telling us that new “television on a stick” technology is going to turn billboard in China into “digital money […]
Greetings from the road, everyone — my time is limited today so I’m sharing a very interesting comment that a reader sent in … we’ll call him Carlo. Carlo looked into Louis Navellier’s recent history with the formerly highflying Russian steel (and coal) stock, Mechel (MTL). This was also a Robert Hsu pick for a […]
Here’s how Louis Navellier pitches his next uber-hot idea for a stock that gives you three phone numbers on one phone and 10-bagger profits: “Last May I told you about a new wireless juggernaut whose 3-in-one proprietary technology and earnings growth matched Envirodyne, which handed us a monster 1,700% gain a few years back. “Since […]
Man oh man, I’ve been using completely the wrong strategy. Clearly, since last Summer when the rare earth element mining (or let’s be honest, “exploring for”) stocks started taking off like gangbusters whenever the Chinese flexed their muscles, the newsletter copywriters started wetting their pants in excitement. And what I should have done was look […]

Today I’m looking at an ad from Michael Robinson for his American Wealth Underground newsletter, he’s pitching the idea of investing in China’s surveillance state and getting involved in a stock that has tight connections with the government, both of which probably make at least some US investors feel a bit like holding their nose […]

I often find myself getting stuck in a rut writing about the same folks over and over — the Motley Fool guys, the various Agora offspring (Stansberry, Angel, etc.), Robert Hsu and Louis Navellier and their Investorplace colleagues come up over and over, largely because they’re the ones who push the most aggressive teasers … […]
Today I thought we’d take a look at an Elliott Gue teaser for a stock that he thinks will be taken over by, of all people, the Rockefellers. Or maybe it’s The Rockefellers. He’s selling his Energy Strategist newsletter … and you’ll see why this teaser specifically appealed to me in a minute. Here’s a […]

Well, the questions have been pouring in for months about this newsletter … so finally I’m taking a look. This teaser comes in from Hilary Kramer, urging you to be a charter subscriber to her Breakout Stocks Under $5 newsletter, which looks for, you guessed it, stocks trading under $5 — a category that some […]
Today we again visit our friends from the Motley Fool, and they transport us to the Middle Kingdom with a teaser chock full of Chinese stock ideas. The teaser comes in an ad for the Fool’s Global Gains newsletter from Tim Hanson, and it’s all about the Chinese consumer. They’ll send you a special report […]
Just from that headline, experienced investors and teaser-readers might well know that we’re looking today at rare earth minerals — you might also call them rare earths, rare earth magnets, rare earth elements or lanthanides (they’re usually pulled out of the period table and grouped separately on the bottom if you want the actual names […]
That’s the promise from Robert Hsu in his latest round of teaser ads — that this one stock will have such a powerful impact on your portfolio that you’ll be able to “change the way you live.” That’s nothing new, of course — teasermeisters have been sprinkling their ads with photos of luxury cars, boats, […]
Robert Hsu’s copywriters can tease your credit card out of your wallet as quick as just about anyone, but the clues I wanted to dig through today are from something that Robert Hsu wrote that poses as an actual “article” on his AsiaInsider site — this is all about one of his China stocks that […]
Iain Little is a name that hasn’t come up here at Stock Gumshoe before, but he’s launching a new (I think) letter from Investorplace that focuses on international stocks called Global Wealth — charter subscribers are being asked to cough up $1,000, which is, of course, half of the “normal” price. And the pitch to […]
