Alpha Contracts! That’s what’s being teased by the Agora Financial folks these days, all as part of a pitch for Zachary Scheidt’s Contract Income Alert. We haven’t covered this particular letter before, but have covered a few income-oriented pitches by Zach Scheidt for his other letters over the years, mostly talking up dividend-paying stocks and […]

Monthly advisory that recommends the purchase of individual corporate bonds, often high yield “junk” bonds.
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 […]
Steve McDonald made some friends in the world of Gumshoe a few years ago, when his income-focused advisory The Bond Trader was doing pretty well. He moved on from that to a service with a similar strategy for the Oxford Club folks called Oxford Bond Advantage, and he’s now pitching that newsletter by tantalizing readers […]
I haven’t written much about the Palm Beach Letter, but Tom Dyson and Michael Masterson/Mark Ford have been given free reign to pitch their newsletter to most of the Agora and Stansberry mailing lists, it appears, so we sure see a lot of their ads. And lots of folks have been asking about this one, […]
Mike Williams, who edits the True Income newsletter from Stansberry & Associates, has been trying to get new subscribers by promising to reveal the secrets of the “32% clause” that can pay you a huge annual income stream. So what on earth is he talking about? Here’s how the ad begins: “Introducing: A completely legal […]
Readers often ask me, “What do you get for joining the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars?” — so this is by way of a partial answer. The Irregulars, the paying members of Stock Gumshoe, get a little extra commentary: a new article most Fridays that I call the Friday File, and one analysis per month of an […]
Today I’ve been getting a lot of questions from folks about the latest teaser for Mike Williams’ True Income newsletter from Stansberry & Associates. The ad is a pretty brief one, compared to others, and it focuses on something that I’ve written about before in this space — corporate debt. Yes, I’m afraid I just […]
This is a teaser from Mike Williams for his True Income service, so there are a few of you out there who already know what I’m about to share — but it’s an ad that’s catching a lot of attention, so I thought I should give it a look. The ad teases that there’s a […]
“U.S. Gov’t Mandates Texas Media Giant To Pay You 127% Gain By Sep. 15, 2010 “Right now, a little-known Federal Law requires certain U.S. companies pay investors 100% gains or more – WITHOUT touching the stock market. “Already in 2009, these investments have crushed the S&P 500 by more than 500%, according to The Washington […]
We close out the week with a look at the “Income Security of the Month” — Carla Pasternak puts one of these out each month as a teaser to get folks to subscribe to her High-Yield Investing newsletter, and we’ve looked at several of them before — it’s been a hodgepodge, the Korea Fund and […]
Who can resist a headline like that? High yields, low risk … that’s pretty much the holy grail for investors these days (well, except for those who haven’t yet given up on finding the next Google, or the next Seabridge Gold). So what is this all about? Today I’m working with just a wee snippet […]
Quite a number of you have sent notes to me about these, um, notes lately — if you’re on many of the newsletter or financial mailing lists you’ve probably seen them, too. This is a teaser that promises … “Buy this investment today and “lock in” a minimum gain of 244% (It could possibly even […]
Many of the delightful readers of Gumshoe Nation have sent in this ad, for the True Income service from Stansberry & Associates. As with so many ads these days, it teases us that, (if we’ll just subscribe and follow their advice), we can make tremendous profits with lower risk. Here’s how it opens: “Can “Mega-Bond” […]
We’ve got a nice little teaser that tells us we could be making “safe” money while the world burns if we buy “Crisis Bonds.” What is a crisis bond? I’m so glad you asked! Let’s investigate this one together, shall we? Justice Litle calls it the “Safest Investment in America Today.”
Ian Cooper’s Options Trading Pit newsletter is out with a new ad, in a letter from Brian Hicks, that tells us that the biggest investment bubble is about to explode … and that Ian’s got the trades to tell you about that will help you profit from this explosion. They don’t hide the “bubble” they’re […]
“It doesn’t involve Stocks… Government Bonds… Currencies… or even Options.” Steve McDonald wants to sell us a service that will help select safe investments. The ad says that “back testing the strategy to 1920 proved that it was 99.77% risk-free.” Is that kind of return really possible … or, more importantly, is it likely? And what is he talking about?
Does this ring a little bell for you? It might, if you’re a careful reader of every Gumshoe article (and why wouldn’t you be, really?). This ad is almost exacly the same as one that I wrote about back in October — an investment that is super safe, on the bargain rack, and, perhaps most […]
“On June 15th, 2009, Dayton Superior Corp. is required by federal law to pay investors a 97% ‘Scheduled Distribution’ … “Right now, more than 100 companies are issuing abnormally large, 1-day payouts to their investors … “And while most companies are cutting their dividends – or doing away with them entirely – these ‘Scheduled Distributions’ […]
This one comes in from the folks at Investors Daily Edge, in an ad for a new service of theirs called The Bond Trader, run by a guy named Steve McDonald. So you will not be shocked to hear that this teaser is about investing in debt, not in equity — lending your money to […]
Phew, just when you think things are slowing down for the summer … out comes a new concept in Gumshoe teaserdom. Porter Stansberry’s folks are launching a new service, called True Income, which invests in something a little bit different … something that they’re teasing as “finally, a safe alternative to stocks!” The service is […]
A reader recently sent me a note about a teaser recommendation from Martin Weiss and the Money and Markets folks regarding bets against long term bonds. This wasn’t really a complicated teaser, so this will just be a short note …
