Here’s the lead-in to the ad that caught our readers’ attention this week: “This ‘Perfect Storm’ Stock Is Set to Deliver Big Pharma a Swift and Devastating DEATHBLOW It Won’t Come Back From… “And Launch This Little Company on A 72-Hour, $8.98 Billion All-Out SPRINT” And there’s a deadline… today, in fact, when there will […]

Another day, another promise of imminent riches from a biotech clinical trial! This time it’s from Ray Blanco, who has made many such promises in his ads, and the pitch is all about a “bio switch” that has the potential to “end diabetes, plus heart & kidney disease (with a twice-a-day pill).” What more could […]
This is a bonus weekend “quickie” for you, so it’s not a stock I’m going to go in depth on… but I thought you might want a few moments to think about it while the market’s not open. The promise is absurd, here’s a taste of it from the top of the ad: “ALERT: Agora […]
The latest pitch from Breakthrough Technology Alert, the high-priced tech “upgrade” newsletter from Agora Financial, is certainly over the top… this is how it opens: “Witness a Miracle Made Real “A shocking, exclusive video below reveals the most urgent market story of your lifetime. “Your fast action today could kick off lasting generations of wealth […]
Ray Blanco is running another ad with a near-term deadline for big anticipated stock movements — last time around, it was the pitch about Energous (WATT) and his conviction that Apple CEO Tim Cook would say something exciting about wireless charging for iPhones at the WWDC this year (that was yesterday, and Cook did no […]
I’ll just start off by telling you that yes, this stock might be one of the most familiar biotech ideas we’ve ever covered here at Stock Gumshoe — not necessarily because I like it or our other writers like it, or even because it’s been a good investment, but because it’s been so aggressively teased […]
Today we’ve got a two-fer — two different big publishers are teasing different “liquid biopsy” stocks, and I’m no expert on the technology or the prospects for this diagnostic “trend” that we’ve been hearing more about… so I’ll just sift the clues, identify the companies, and let you chatter about their merits amongst yourselves. The […]
We’ve got a little teaser stock that has been teased before to briefly share with you, and earlier today I posted an updated look at a Dan Ferris teaser for Altius (again), but I do have a couple other quick notes to get to first. First is that while I was noodling around and looking […]
Ridiculously huge gains are nothing new in biotech — they may not come easy, but they are sorely tempting… and, unlike with most “boring” companies that have ongoing businesses and have to build and compound to create lasting wealth, they can create fantastical gains almost overnight on the strength of a breakthrough clinical trial result […]
It’s a tradition to give thanks at this time of the year, and one of the things we are supremely grateful for is the never-ceasing parade of promises that the financial newsletter industry throws our way in their perpetual search for new subscribers. After all, without those overhyped promises in their teaser ads we’d have […]
Medical technology is always a prime area for investor excitement — we love the idea of a company that can make things bigger, cheaper, stronger, faster in any field of human endeavor, but somehow the idea of a company doing it in medicine, where we can feel both wealthy and virtuous after investing, is even […]
I’ve got a few thoughts for you on some companies I follow and own, and a little follow-up on last week’s chatter about hedge funds, but first I thought you’d like a quick teaser solution for your Friday File fun… The pitch is for Stephen Petranek’s Breakthrough Technology Alert — there’s been some discussion recently […]
Who can resist an entreaty like that? Several intrepid Gumshoe readers sent along pleas for a solution to this one today … and we are, as always, happy to oblige. I know you have a choice when it comes to blathering internet chatterboxes, and I want to thank you for choosing this one today. The […]
Biotech/Emerging Tech Newsletter launched by Patrick Cox in second half of 2013, similar to the early-stage-tech newsletter Breakthrough Technology Alert that he ran for Agora for many years. Often recommends extremely small and speculative stocks.
This particular ad hasn’t actually been completely lambasting my inbox this week, which is a surprise since the “cure for obesity” stocks usually gin up quite a bit of interest — being overweight is, after all, the plague of our time of overabundance and the cause of so many of our ills, both social and […]
There’s been quite a bit going on in the companies that I follow both personally and for the Irregulars, so I want to check in on a few of these today — I’ll be taking at least a quick look at Sandstorm Metals and Sandstorm Gold, Invensense, Xerox, and maybe some other stuff will leak […]
This article originally ran on January 8, 2013. It has not been updated save for the addition of this brief introductory note. More recent ad pitches on this same topic that say the stock and ticker have been “hacked” probably refer to our coverage of the story, but the more recent ads do not appear […]
The odds will tell you that the stock we’re going to unveil today is probably a terrible stock to buy at the current price, since it’s a penny stock that has already been driven up by Patrick Cox’s subscribers and is getting a lot of attention for recent news … but we’re going to reveal […]
Neither of the two picks that Patrick Cox has lately been teasing are new — but I’m getting a lot of questions about both of them so I thought I’d provide a couple quick answers on this lovely Friday afternoon. Both of these teaser ads are designed to encourage investors to subscribe to his Breakthrough […]
If you ever want a dose of optimism, just read through (or listen to) any of the ads for Breakthrough Technology Alert — Patrick Cox will have you swelling with rosy thoughts about a future without disease or hardship, with a nice dose of 1,000,000% returns thrown in … that, after all, is the raison […]
Now this is how a teaser ad should look! Any editor can promise huge gains — and heck, maybe even occasionally deliver on those dramatic gains if they get lucky or smart for a moment in time … but how many investment newsletters can tease that you’ll “live 20 years longer?” Here’s how Patrick Cox […]
I always feel a swell of optimism when I read a teaser ad from Patrick Cox — something about his relentless happy-facing about the teensy tiny technology and biotech companies he loves just stirs me up a little bit, reminds me that the reason many of us dabble in microcap stocks, little mining companies, new […]
Patrick Cox is not a shy guy. I don’t think I’ve ever read one of his biotech teaser ads that didn’t leave me convinced (at least for a moment) that the world was about to be changed because of the newest potion or pill that his favorite little companies were developing. And this latest one […]
Curing the blind — that sounds lovely, eh? That’s the headline of the latest ad from Patrick Cox … … we’ve seen many overpromising ads from Cox’s Breakthrough Technology Alert over the years, and they never fail to catch the attention of the great Gumshoe readership. It is, after all, just the kind of thing […]
Readers have been avidly forwarding the latest ad from Patrick Cox to me over the past week or so — he’s been pitching his Breakthrough Technology Alert newsletter ($695 “on sale” from the $2,000 “list price”, though as I’ve written about it over the years it’s pretty much always been “on sale”). So naturally, your […]
Yes, the title of this article is misleading, dangerous crap. Sorry, but I just took it directly from the ad — the ad I’m writing about today is from Patrick Cox for his Breakthrough Technology Alert, a relatively expensive ($895) newsletter that focuses on, well, breakthrough technologies, mostly stocks that we’d classify as biotechs or […]
Well, yesterday we went through the first two picks that Patrick Cox is teasing as his “7 breakthrough companies” that will bring us our next “printing press moment” and change the world (while inflating your wallet). If you want to catch up with the rest of the group, that article is here. So let’s move […]
Today we’re digging into a teaser ad that mentions several little companies, most of which appear to be in biotech … and which is so terribly urgent that they have to “this presentation from the Internet at 5pm Thursday, March 31st.” So, golly gee, we’ve only got one more day! Quick! The promise will sound […]
When I saw the recent ads for Technology Profits Confidential, edited by Patrick Cox, I almost passed them by — after all, the language and hype is quite similar to the several ads of his (for the more expensive Breakthrough Technology Report) that I wrote about in recent years, most of which touted stem cell […]
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the latest “teaser video” from Patrick Cox for his Breakthrough Technology Alert — it’s the one that starts with a story about how “Robert has Alzheimer’s” and that a “breakthrough” gives him hope. And, of course, Cox will be “forced to remove” the presentation on November 11, […]
“6 Events In 2010 Could Reshape Your Future “And Give You a One-Way Ticket to Unending Wealth… “Today’s your ONE shot at the GOOD LIFE — the ultra-wealthy life — from 6 key events I predict for 2010. “Many years from now, your family could remember your swift action today as the start of their […]
“To secure your chance at wealth you’ve only dreamed of, you must act BEFORE the NEXT shocking event, scheduled for Wednesday, September 23. “That’s when the rest of the world will learn what you’ll know just seconds from now… “We’re in the final warm-up laps now — the CEO’s news release I’ll tell you all […]
Focuses on companies with hot new technologies, including biotech and technology stocks. Formerly run by Patrick Cox, who moved on to launch Transformational Technology Alert, a similar letter for Mauldin Economics, and Stephen Petranek and Gerald Celente have also briefly helmed this letter.
This particular teaser ad is the most popular and intriguing one that has come across in several months, if the number of forwarded copies and questions I’ve received is a reliable indicator. Though many ads now promise protection from calamity, and systems that can provide income or steady the waves for your portfolio, it appears […]
