Vacation time! This is your last Friday File of July, I’ll be off for two weeks to spend time with my family, and Stock Gumshoe will mostly be in hibernation during that time. Yes, that’s the same family I’ve been holed up with 24 hours a day for the past four months… but for the […]

I’m going to keep it brief for you today — and we’re not going to have a formal “Idea of the Month” piece for October because, well, we’re at the end of October and I haven’t recently come across a new idea that’s compelling enough for me to argue you should own it. In some […]
These are my notes and instant reactions from a presentation at the Value Investing Congress, the notes below might contain errors, paraphrases, incorrect quotes, or misinterpretations. Sahm Adrangi is a relatively new guy to the value investing world, Kerrisdale Capital is about five years old and (unlike many) they share their research — particularly on […]
None of the teasers this week struck me as so thrilling that I have to cover them for the Irregulars today, but I’ve been following a few of my favorite stocks and their quarterly updates recently, and bought a few stocks today, so I’ll share some company updates for the Friday File this time around. […]
Happy Friday, all — Irregulars have already seen a few “members only” articles this week, from Dr. KSS’ new posting to my update on goings-on with Ligand, so I think we’ll probably be a bit on the brief side with the Friday File today… let’s see if I can stick with that prediction. Things are […]
I’ve invested in and written about quite a few Brazilian companies over the years, and I own a handful of such stocks today — so with the Brazilian market taking a hit this year, I thought I’d take a quick look at those holdings. There are two Brazilian companies that I’ve profiled as “Idea of […]
I don’t think I’ve ever written about one of the teasers from International Living Investor before, but a recent ad from editor Chris Hunter caught my eye … he’s pitching an idea that he thinks might be the “holy grail” of agriculture investing. And agriculture investing is probably too hot as an idea right now, […]
I’ve been so overwhelmed with gold and silver teases, and have written about them so many times over the last couple weeks, that I was really prepared to jump on anything that looked a bit more like a “real” company (ie, not just a commodity play or a hyped-up junior miner) … so here comes […]
This month I want to suggest that you take a look at the biggest credit card processing company in Brazil, Cielo — this was a huge Brazilian IPO last year, then under the name VisaNet, and was formerly the sole processor of Visa cards in the country (as competitor Redecard was the franchise holder for […]
That’s the pitch made by Stephen Leeb (sorry, Dr. Stephen Leeb) for his ETF World Alert newsletter. We have all seen the dollar give up it’s panic-led gains in recent months, as the fear of future inflation and the unsustainable nature of the federal budget make investors wary that the only way to handle America’s […]
Brazil’s economy is finally growing now, a growth that it started getting credit for a few years ago, before the expansion really started — five years ago, it was enough that Brazil under President Lula seemed to have a handle on inflation and a reasonably pro-business government. Now, it’s one of the few large, stable […]
Today we’re looking at a high yield stock that’s being pitched by Carla Pasternak for her new High-Yield International newsletter that looks for big dividends overseas. High Yield International has been around for a while, as far as I can tell — it used to be edited by Nick Lanyi, so perhaps he’s moved on […]
This one will be a bit of a quickie, I’m working on a much longer one for tomorrow so we’ll see what we can churn out for you today. The teaser comes in from Louis Navellier for his Quantum Growth service, who in typical exuberance tells us that … “The opportunity of a lifetime is […]
Here’s one that got the attention of many of my readers: it’s a microcap oil play, one that our advertiser believes will send shares from 15 cents to (possibly) $5 a share. They apparently have leases in Brazil in some prime oil territory. Some excerpts from the ad: “When you sign on to Penny Oil […]
This teaser is a very brief one, from Tom Dyson for his International Strategist newsletter. Dyson is known better to the Gumshoe faithful for his role as the progenitor of the 801(k) strategy that so many of you have found compelling, which was part of a teaser for his 12% Letter on income investing. He […]
This one came in from a few readers via email today, which is always delightful — but today it was even more of a delight, because here we have a company whose shares I own, and whose future I’m also fairly excited about. The ad is for Mark Skousen’s Hedge Fund Trader service, one of […]
This email came in today from Mark Skousen, and since it’s a quick and dirty one I thought I’d throw it into the mix for y’all. Skousen’s Hedge Fund Trader, which is what’s being advertised here, is predicting that this Brazilian company will report earnings on October 25 and blow the market away. Now, before […]
OK, so I’m departing from my typical sleuthing ways on this one a little bit. I spent a little time at an investing conference a few days ago, and many of the newsletter folks that you’ve all heard of were there, making their spiels or just lecturing. One of them that I happened to hear […]
