Some fella named Jamie Dlugosch is helming the latest new offering from InvestorPlace Media, home to a few of the more hyped names in the financial newsletter world (Navellier, Hsu, Zambell, Tobin Smith, et al) — and this time, it’s a penny stock newsletter. There seems to be a lot of that going around these […]

I haven’t looked much at Tobin Smith and his ChangeWave services over the past year or so — I think the last teaser of his that I looked at was hyping Sigma Designs back in April of 2008, which he promised would be a huge gainer within a year. Of course, that didn’t take into […]
Paul Tracy runs the StreetAuthority Market Advisor newsletter, and he has an ad out now about investing only in stocks that have a “driving force” behind them.
He doesn’t mean any technical indicators, or fundamental financial forces, he means catalysts. Catalysts are, of course, the great holy grail of “story” investing — when you buy most biotech stocks, for example, you’re looking for a “catalyst” to drive the shares higher in the form of an FDA approval or a buyout. You’ll hear pundits like Jim Cramer talk about catalysts all the time, too — there are a lot of folks who might be excited about a stock’s valuation or prospects, but are unwilling to buy it if they don’t see an event in the near future that should move the stock abruptly higher (or lower, one must add).
So what are the “catalyst” stocks that Tracy thinks you should look at now?
“In the short time it took gas prices to shoot from $1.50 to $4 a gallon, this little-known stock made investors 951% richer. “Now Goldman Sachs says oil is going to rocket right back to $147 — and you can bet $4 gas won’t be far behind. “This may be your last chance to get […]
I know I should stop rising to the bait of these Louis Navellier teasers … but I can’t help myself. Every month or two he throws out a new teaser along the lines of this one — some teased pick or another that is going to double “with or without you” … he’s not alone […]
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 […]
Rare earths mania among investors has hit extraordinary new heights over the last eight months or so, and I’ve written about almost all of the rare earth miners of any size at one point or another during that time. Most recently, the promotion that caught a lot of attention from my readers was from Byron […]
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’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 haven’t written about one of the profligate predictions from the Cabot crowd in a while, so the headline about “double your money in 2011 guaranteed” caught my eye. The pitch for their “secret” idea is in an ad for their Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter, which they use to pick ideas from one […]
Hilary Kramer’s purview is continuing to grow over at Investorplace Media — Louis Navellier has been a little quiet on the marketing front, Robert Hsu is long gone, but I’ve been seeing a lot of Hilary Kramer pitches lately. And the recent one that’s caught a lot of attention from Gumshoe readers is for her […]
I left out the little asterisk in that headline — we’re also told that “your payment could be higher or lower than $4,000.” Which means, of course, that it could be zero … but still, let’s look into this odd headline and the teaser that follows it, and see if we can’t sniff out just […]
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 […]
Happy Friday! Here’s the pitch from Yiannis Mostrous that got me interested today: “… the population of children aged zero to 14 has decreased steadily year after year… “… yet sales of children’s products have exploded—from USD 11 billion in 2005 to USD 30 billion in 2009. “This apparent disconnect is the direct result of […]

Bryan Perry runs the income-focused newsletter for Investorplace, providing the high-yield yin to the high-growth yang of Robert Hsu and Louis Navellier and others, and he aims to generate “double digit income.” It used to be, in fact that he aimed for 25% — which was lofty even in the days of higher interest rates […]
The Investorplace Media folks have gotten awfully quiet lately — I haven’t seen many over-the-top pitches from Louis Navellier or Hilary Kramer of late, and other big promisers like Robert Hsu and Nancy Zambell have moved on or shut down their letters. But over the last couple of days I’ve been getting questions about the […]
Today we’re again hearing from old friend Christian DeHaemer (“old friend” as in, “don’t even know what he looks like and have never spoken to him but read lots of his ads”) — he’s selling his BreakAway Investor newsletter with this pitch … “On March 31st, 2009, The “EMN Initiative” Goes Live “A Historic Government […]
And as we continue the rundown of the most successful teaser stocks of the year, here’s number two. This is a solar stock, so obviously it has done well this year (I think LDK Solar is the only one to come to mind that hasn’t ramped up consistently nearly all year). And in addition to […]
And so it begins — with every significant social change, every newsletter and investment service has to come out with a teaser list of the “top ten” or the “three to buy now” or, in this case, the five stocks you must buy to be prepared to profit in an Obama presidency. New presidential administrations […]
Technical and monetary analysis newsletter focuses on “risk allocation,” includes coverage and analysis of the Federal Reserve.
“In the short time it took gas prices to shoot from $1.50 to $4 a gallon, this little-known stock made investors 951% richer. “Now Goldman Sachs says oil is going to rocket right back to $147 — and you can bet $4 gas won’t be far behind. “This may be your last chance to get […]
This tease comes in an ad for the Motley Fool’s Global Gains newsletter, which has brought some interesting ideas to our attention during its relatively short life so far (though I imagine it probably had a terrible year last year — this is one of the few Motley Fool newsletters that Hulbert doesn’t track, and […]

Today we’ve got a quickie for you — this one’s form Robert Hsu for his China Strategy newsletter — the second most popular China-focused letter according to Stock Gumshoe readers (after the Cabot China letter). Times are good again for China investors, thanks to a persistent belief that the stimulus in that country will turn […]

Nancy Zambell has managed to build up a big marketing push for hew newsletter as quickly as anyone I’ve seen since Jeff Clark at Stansberry & Associates — I guess, if you’ve got a “hook” for your letter and can make the sale, the publishers are still willing to pour a lot of money into […]
Ah, our old friend Louis Navellier — with the big move in the market over the last couple months his earnings momentum and growth stocks are doing him proud, it appears, and he’s once again advertising heavily. Today he’d like you to subscribe to his Global Growth newsletter, which is one of his super-expensive offerings […]
Well, I promised I’d have a look at Robert Hsu’s other hyperactive teaser, and here it is … he’s touting his Asia Edge newsletter this time, not the less-expensive China Strategy, but now it’s with a tease that he’s found a Chinese education stock that he thinks will go from $4 to $8. This is […]
Robert Hsu has been a lot quieter over the last six months than he was in 2007 and early 2008 — back when “buy what China buys” was the mantra and almost every Chinese company with a US-listed stock was booming, his China Strategy newsletter was very popular with my readers, and his ads always […]
If you’ve been biding your time with us here in Gumshoe Nation for a while now, you might remember Porter Stansberry’s prediction that General Growth Properties was about to go bankrupt as they faced a debt repayment deadline that they couldn’t meet. Well, he’s at it again. Which isn’t to say he was wrong the […]
Timothy Lutts doesn’t often send out really over-the-top out teaser ads, so I don’t often write about the various newsletters from Cabot — I do hear about them from time to time, and readers have reviewed a few of the services, but they haven’t yet bombarded us with “super hype” as so many other publishers […]
Real-money portfolio of Martin Weiss’ million dollars, previously managed by Claus Vogt, promises to alert you 48 hours before trades are made, with monthly update newsletter and phone helpline.
InvestorPlace is certainly helping Nancy Zambell push the marketing message pretty hard for her new Buried Treasure Under $10 newsletter — who knows, if they keep this up we might be hearing as much from Nancy as we do from fellow InvestorPlace newsletter editors Louis Navellier, Robert Hsu and Tobin Smith. More power to her […]
This year has been as remarkable as any I can remember — certainly as an investor, but also as a citizen. I remain flabbergasted at the things that have come to pass, and (as is obviously quite clear from the stocks I’ve chosen to profile over the past 10 months) I certainly wouldn’t have predicted […]

“Tiny Carolina Water Main Company Gets D.C. Check for $18,000,000,000” “Listen up and listen good. “There’s been so much yakking about the Stimulus it makes my poor head hurt. Why oh why doesn’t somebody just figure out how we can make some real money out of the damn thing?” That’s how we start the new […]

Monthly newsletter features stock picks from across Asia. No longer published (as of 2019, Tycango’s work is published by Stansberry Research).
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?
