Description
The Irregulars are the paid members of Stock Gumshoe (which owns this site), and in return they receive additional content — a weekly newsletter, which consists of the Friday File most weeks that has additional commentary and, once a month, the “Idea of the Month” article highlighting some specific investment idea that we like.

very good! new at this and find no bull here.
nope. no bull. refreshing isn’t it. I like Travis’ style. I think he has a laid back, no nonsense, everybody take a deep breath and relax approach. Plus, hes honest. if he doesn’t know, he will say so. At the very least he will give a hypothesis to a recommendation of a certain investment but he will NEVER SAY TO YOU…”yeah!!! go ahead and buy it” He encourages one to do their research and homework.
This is a MUST for those who frequent Stock Gumshoe free website.Travis has saved me a lot of money by not subscribing to any other newsletter/service since I found his free site & became an Irregular right away. He’s style of writing is funny (GO-THINKOLATOR!!!), informative & well-researched. I bought stocks per his recos & haven’t regretted the money that I have made since I found him. The service you get is unbelievable when he is only asking for a small amount every year. You are definitely one of the good guys, Travis! Thank you so much & I will… Read more »
Best in the West! Great information, great research, great fun, yes Travis is simplya great guy. He did save me money by not subscribing to other newsletter guys, but best of all I am making some money by reading his stuff and by reading what other irregulars have to share. The service is outstanding and I feel at home with him and the way he comes across to all of us. I checked the free website for one year before I signed up, but did it for Life. Thanks Travis!
Have been with travis first as a freebee – and later on as an irregular.
Travis have a great writing style, come up with some great picks (some which he harvest from the allmighty thinkolator!), and while there have been flukes – there have always been good reasoning and research behind each pick.
am contemplating stopping all my other (free) newsletters coming to my inbox, and simplify by simply following the (paid) stockgumshoe!
this is ONE OF THE VERY BEST SERVICES i’ve ever subscribed to(and i’ve been subscribing for 20 years to various things costing upwards of $500 per annum). Bravo, Mr Johnson!
(and bravo, custpom,er srvc: responded in LESS THAN AN HOUR to a login question that I had). (and no, i’m not a relative of travis)
Gumshoe is an invaluable investment tool. Whenever any stock is touted anywhere, a quick Google brings up previous Gumshoe comment that saves hours of research time. Great service.
Like most Irregulars, I find Stock Gumshoe to be a refreshing island of honest commentary in a sea of investment insanity. We don’t have to waste so much valuable time wading through the endless BS out there masquerading as investment advice, as the Mighty Thinkolator has already done most of the legwork for us.
I look forward to your insightful commentary, Travis, and will be a faithful subscriber as long as you are at the helm.
Wow, best value for money in the market. Travis’ analytic skills are on show in every issue. He’s a deep thinker, looks at all angles and tries to be objective … something that’s absolutely rare in this space. I enjoy reading about his personal views as well, it calibrates my own. Always interesting, I always read every issue. Like the old diamonds ad, now YOU have a friend in the investment business!
I love this letter. I’ve made several good investments based on teases figured out by the Thinkolator.
Intelligent, informative and enjoyable. Three CHEERS, Travis. Keep it up!
I subscribe to several subscriptions (some free others paid) to educate myself on the complete chaos occuring in all the markets (Bonds, Stocks, ETF, etc.). I appreciate the no-nonsense approach by Stock Gumshoe and its’ members. Great service and great recommedations/advise. Thanks to a great team…
Excellent content to digest for decision making.
First the Pros: I’ve been with Stock Gumshoe as a proud Irregular for less than a year but it has quickly become one of my “Must-own” advisors. First.. so much fun busting the “tedious-teaser” ads that clog my inbox. I’m a forensic analyst regarding construction failures, so I especially appreciate the process of solving mysteries. It has become the “Snopes” of Investment Newsletters. On top of this free section, the subscribed Irregulars get quick updates on hot buys, and Lynn actually reports HONESTLY on the stocks they have advised… and Lo and Behold: AMAZING record of gains. Fun reading style,… Read more »
Travis & Gumshoe Crew – You Rock! Disclosure, I haven’t always tracked performance of picks / advice etc. Nor does one find it necessary to do so to benefit from subscribing because regardless of whether Travis picks a posiiton for his own portfolio, he does a good job of wheedling through the pros and cons (or summarizing them for Irregulars) and letting YOU be the judge.
Unbiased reporting with a lot of wit and charm but no hype. It’s the only newsletter of its kind
When I’m lookin for news letters listed alphibetical it would be nice to hav the alphabet letters (A to Z) across the top and botton so I can do a search. Also the page numbers at the bottom used in moving to another page do not indicate what page I’m on
I know I fail and it is surely my fault. Just as I am unable to find dates on staemants and bills, it is interesting that my favorite champion for clarity has been able to elude me as I search for the cost of a premium membership. It appears that you will take all my information before you reveal the magic number. I’ve been around here for 10 years, according to you. That said, I could not be more pleased with the attitude and sentiments I find here. I am finally taking my vast fortune from the guy, who told… Read more »
$59/annually, $7/monthly
One of a kind. Excellent analytical thinking and no crap.
Refreshingly sober and balanced commentary. Highly recommended!
A must for small-time inverters like me, been looking for this kind of info for a while. thanks from the little guys…
I,ve found this site excellent for stopping me investing in stocks or getting hooked into subscription sites that intially sound great but Gumshoes highlights the pitfalls as well.
The best value for any investment advisory as long as you enjoy ready the content and have a firm grasp on investment fundamentals and can think independently.
This is the only active subscription I have now, but it gets dedicated reading. Of the few market actions taken from something mentioned in the letter, I suppose it’s close to a draw…some losses…some gains. I do, however, get ideas that lead to further searches that sometimes yield profits. I have dabbled in the market for some 55 years now…seen a lot of ups and downs…never made a fortune, but market involvement has contributed nicely to a comfortable net worth in the late evening years for my wife and me.
Only one to subscribe; precise, good analysis and history, no hype and the quality of additional contributors including comments are educated.
When I’m tempted by the enticing copywriting of some Newsletters, I am reminded of the losses that followed. I am a very small investor and looking for Dollar stock tips that will give an immediate return, it doesn’t work.
I was blessed by finding Stock Gumshoe’s “No Hype” analysis and Travis’s easy to read and agree with commentary.
The VALUE of this newsletter is a real Treasure.
Other than Motley Fool, I trust no other newsletter, that are all in it for themselves. Travis has been on a crusade to bring honor and integrity to financial newsletters.
Makes me read things that I normally would not. Thanks.
This is the only newsletter I subscribe to any more. I guess I am getting older and see the hype in all the other newsletters. Thanks so much for your hard work.
If you could only own ONE newsletter, Stock Gumshoe should be your choice, it is the best value on the web.
Overall rating 4.o?!?!?! Man, this is a tuff crowd. Travis’ work is always enjoyable, well written, interesting, entertaining, educational – I can go on and on listing superlatives but I’ll stop here. Frankly, I don’t how he does it. Never, ever, does an issue disappoint. I can’t even imagine the amount of work Travis does to produce his letters. Real genius. I am awestruck.
Great information and modesty priced
Worth EVERY penny because it’s saved me much money and time!
Why I enjoy. I’m such a gullible person, and Travis brings reality back, which is very satisfying. I am always amused after he very methodically takes the hype out of the ridiculous exaggerations of other newsletters. What a wonderful antidote in this era of negative news.
Of the three investment letters to which I subscribe, the one I value most is this one for its detailed, no nonsense completely objective analysis without any hype whatsoever–so refreshing! 🙂 . I go to this when I receive a paid-for recommendation from the other two newsletters in case Travis has analyzed it before I decide whether or not to invest. Every day, I look forward to Travis’ insights and often scan what others have responded to the topic. Kudos, Travis!
I’ve used this and I’ve made some money, however that’s not the reason I purchased a subscription to Stock Gumshoe. I purchased this to find out about all these “wonderful” opportunities out there and Stock Gumshoe has saved me alot of money from getting into these scam opportunities. I have screwed up a few times still and have purchased a few “great deals, too good to pass up” , didn’t listen to Stock Gumshoe and as a result wasted money on fancy name advisory subscriptions. I have paid for about 10 different advisory services in the past, if you would… Read more »
WHAT HAS THE RETURN OF THIS NEWSLETTER AVERAGED 3 MONTHS, 9 MONTHS, 1 YEAR & 2 YEARS?
Decoding Super Dividends
My only consistent go-to for ~ 8 years. None of the accolades are misrepresented – however as a content writer & clinical academic, I know that personally, it’s the constructive critic that I most appreciate. Also gilding lilies make for eyebrows (i.e., border collies, Oreo ice cream, Jack White, Darwin, ‘The Lament’ as read by Dylan Thomas – all a few of my favorite things, but none are a 10). I’d rate SGS at a solid 4.75 to 4.8 overall (out of 5). Minor nip & tucks submitted for your approval (consideration): [Queue spooky Rod Serling’s T-Zone soundtrack – HERE]… Read more »
