Remember the good ol’ days, from, say, 2010 to 2018, when it was really, really unusual for a stock to move by more than 3-4% in a day? Man, I miss those days. It used to be that you could skim through a list of stocks, your eyes would be drawn by something that jumped […]

The Motley Fool is launching yet another “upgrade” portfolio service to start this year, they call it Showdown 2022 and it’s essentially an evolution of what Stock Advisor used to be — Motley Fool Stock Advisor started as essentially a monthly competition between brothers David and Tom Gardner, with each picking a stock each month […]
Let me start with a special welcome to our new Irregulars who came aboard this week, during the still-ongoing Charitable Membership Drive (tell your friends, the campaign goes through December 15!) — thank you for supporting Stock Gumshoe, and I hope you can grow to tolerate, and sometimes even enjoy, my lengthy Friday blatherations. I […]
I haven’t looked at Eifrig’s Income Intelligence in a long time, so it caught my eye when I saw the latest pitch for this Stansberry newsletter that is promising big gains in the very near future because a pick of theirs is likely to be added to the S&P 500. So let’s take a look […]
I spent the day on Tuesday at the Delivering Alpha conference, which is hosted by CNBC and Institutional Investor — it’s not the kind of confab that includes “secret” or special ideas that you can’t hear about elsewhere (it’s hosted by CNBC, after all, and they broadcast from the conference all day), but it’s an […]
Marc Lichtenfeld has an ad running this week that talks about a business that could be the “most profitable I’ve ever seen” — and one that’s so entrenched in our country that he says the equivalent of 10% of US GDP relies on this one company. So who is it? Well, he gets into some […]
Alexander Green has a new “special report” out to lure subscribers to a letter I haven’t seen before called The True Value Alert — Green has been the head honcho at The Oxford Club for a long time and has put out a bunch of interesting ideas (and has some refreshingly stable and non-hypey stuff […]
“NOTE: The following presentation is based on information obtained from a closed-door meeting at the New York Stock Exchange. It contains details of the exact timeline when the next stock market crash is set to occur.” That’s the intro to the latest pitch for Steve Sjuggerud’s True Wealth — so yes, it starts out with […]
Jeff Pintar talked up the fairly simple premise that residential real estate, and particularly single family homes, are a compelling discount when purchased for rental. This is something that’s not brand new, of course, many huge institutional investors have huge multi-billion dollar funds, but Pintar tells us that there are still huge swathes of underwater […]
Chris Mayer runs the Capital and Crisis newsletter, often looking for far-flung stocks or odd special situations, and he sometimes brings an interesting idea or two to us through his teaser pitches … so I thought we’d take a look at his latest idea today, a spiel about some stocks that you can buy and […]
You might remember that we took a look at a railcar maker teased by John Mauldin’s Yield Shark newsletter about a week and a half ago — it was pitched as a way to benefit from government largesse and pocket a nice dividend, and several Gumshoe readers seemed interested. That stock is also up almost […]
Today we’re looking at something that several readers have asked me about, but that I haven’t seen pushed all that actively by a hyperactive teaser. Don’t worry, we won’t completely avoid hyperbole … they always sneak it in somewhere. But this pitch is for a stock being recommended by Steve Sjuggerud for his True Wealth […]
OK, so they’re not really the Barbarians at the Gate — that was another private equity firm. But I’m today liquidating my position in Blackstone units (BX). I bought Blackstone because I believed that they would maintain a leadership position in their core alternative asset management business — and I still think that business is […]
You may or may not remember this golden oldie, but Almost Family (AFAM) was a teaser stock from Ann Sosnowski last year — and it’s finally coming into it’s own a little bit. The sector has looked attractive for a long time, at least on a big picture basis — the demographic trends are undoubtedly […]
Apologies for those who were unable to get in to the site this morning — some technical problems with my host really messed things up. I hope to be able to fix it soon so that doesn’t happen again. Anyway, on with the work at hand: This teaser has been circulating for a few months, […]
