  • “This next commodities play may become just as profitable for us as the ‘Gold Streaming Bank'” (Peter Krauth)

    Many of you remember well or are still enjoying the terrific surge that my favorite gold stock, Sandstorm Gold, enjoyed on the heels of a big push from both Stansberry’s Phase 1 and Peter Krauth’s Global Resource Alert — you can see my latest free article on that one here, and all of my past […]

  • “Box” Your Gold Stocks … and find “an extremely rare opportunity”

    After several years of touting (and sometimes teasing) microcap mining stocks for subscribers of Stansberry’s super-expensive Phase 1 newsletter, Matt Badiali is launching a new letter that focuses on these small stocks, picks that he says are too small and volatile for his inexpensive S&A Resource Report letter. This letter is called the S&A Junior […]

  • “How I Found a $17,500 Secret In A Maryland Public Library”

    I always like to see what Dan Ferris is recommending for subscribers of his Extreme Value newsletter, in part because I’m personally invested in a few of his picks that have done well (Altius Minerals and Sprott Resource), and in part because I’m generally sympathetic to the notion that long-term “value” investing is the best […]

  • A Few Buys, A Tracking Update, and Finally Some Numbers for NEP

  • An Entertainment “Stock of the Month”

    Well, the first thing I should mention today is that yes, NEP’s troubles with AMEX were more immediate than I had guessed they would be — if that’s not a story you’ve been following, China North East Petroleum (NEP) was one of my “Idea of the Month” stocks a couple weeks ago, when the price […]

  • Hodgepodge for a Crazy Week — Two Ferris Teasers, and Two Buys

    I have no idea what on earth is going to happen in the markets. Just wanted to get that out there for you, in case it wasn’t clear. Rapid trading and the instant information age have brought so much volatility, and so many pieces of news that people feel a need to trade on that […]

  • Quick Note: Buying More Altius

    I don’t have anything new or noteworthy to share about Altius Minerals today, but I have promised to update you on my portfolio as changes are made, so I need to let you know that I increased my Altius holdings by about 30% this morning when the shares dipped near $9.50.  I continue to have […]

  • Extreme Stocks to Buy Now (Ferris)

    I always like reading Dan Ferris’ stuff — he does the cranky loner act so well I can only assume that it’s real, and the latest ad for his Extreme Value newsletter is no different. This newsletter is slotted in as the “deep value” letter at Stansberry & Associates, and he has often recommended either […]

  • March Idea of the Month: Brazilian Hamburgers

    Before I start out with today’s “Idea of the Month” article I should note that I’ve had a lot of folks asking about the new “teaser” language coming from Dan Ferris for his Extreme Value newsletter — so let me quickly jump on that before I share this month’s stock idea, since it’s a stock […]

  • Altius Getting Attention

    From what I can tell, it sounds like Rick Rule and Brent Cook have recently been talking up Altius Minerals, a favorite of mine and a favored pick of many resource investors who talk up “prospect generators” — the shares have been up significantly in recent days on no particular other news, and have generally […]

  • Adding to Altius Minerals holdings

    I wrote some nice things about Altius — a company I’ve owned since the Spring — following a Dan Ferris teaser a few weeks back that told us about “Newfoundland’s Golden Mountain”, and today I picked up a few more shares, increasing my position by roughly 80% at a price of $6.78. Why now? I […]

  • “Bursting with Gold: Newfoundland’s Golden Mountain” (Dan Ferris)

    This new teaser from Dan Ferris for his Extreme Value newsletter wins the prize for “most questions sent to the Gumshoe” over the weekend … so I thought I better jump right on it this morning. If you get any of the Agora or Stansberry free emails, or subscribe to any newsletters in those families, […]

  • Prospect Generators

    Matt Badiali gave an interview to the Gold Report recently in which he talked up the “prospect generators” again, mentioning several companies I own and have written about on StockGumshoe (both for teases of his, and from other newsletters). He mentioned Centamin Egypt, which I sold a while ago, Altius Minerals and Royal Gold, which […]

  • Commodity Picks up on China Optimism

    Sprott Resources and Altius Minerals, the two recent commodity picks that got a lot of attention a few weeks back, are both having a nice day thanks to renewed optimism for commodities in the wake of talk of more stimulus out of China. I dont know if that will really move the needle for either […]

  • Buying those “prospect generators”

    Now that my three day waiting period has expired I’ve picked up a few shares of Altius Minerals, which I wrote about in response to a Dan Ferris teaser early this week. This is not necessarily a stock that’s particularly leveraged to gold, though it does have an interest in a promising gold project that’s […]

  • “Distortion in the Gold Markets” Prospect Generators

    This ad comes in for the Extreme Value newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, edited by Dan Ferris. The name of the newsletter is no accident, Ferris apparently looks for deep value and hidden value stocks, not unlike some other traditional “value” stock pickers. This time, he’s telling us that there’s a “distortion” in the gold […]
