Interest rates will be near zero for three more years now, we expect — that’s the basic takeaway from the Federal Reserve’s press conference this week. So what does that mean? In order to make money to meet their future obligations, retirees and pension funds and other investors have to take more risks. That’s ugly […]

Today we’ve got a bonanza of content for my favorite people (yes, that’s you!) — a couple quick teaser solutions to close out the week, which morphs right into one little transaction in my portfolio, and then an update on a few other things that are going on with Real Money Portfolio stocks. Ready? OK, […]
Today we’re going to start you out with a quickie teaser solution, and I’m going to keep it quick mostly because this one is largely a connect-the-dots guess, given the limited number of clues that were dropped in the ad. The ad is from Marin Katusa, who went off on his own after leaving Casey […]
Everyone hates their cable company and their wireless company. When we used to have home phones, we hated Ma Bell, too… everyone who has a monopoly or near-monopoly and uses that to keep prices and profits high and customer service low gets ranked pretty far up the “hate” list, whether its the airlines or the […]
Several readers have asked me about this pitch in the last few days, so I’m taking a look — it’s all about solar power, and about how the big surge in green energy interest will drive us to use much more solar energy… which, he thinks, will make him (and us, if we Subscribe Now!) […]
Nick Hodge’s ads from the Outsider Club open up with a promise that has been used to sell us all manner of stocks, from content delivery networks to faster WiFi technology to “Internet Royalties”: A faster internet. And who doesn’t want that, right? Most folks have decent access to broadband now, but we’re constantly reminded […]
This pitch from Keith Schaefer started running several months ago, but we’ve had questions pop up every now and then about it… and just recently, he has jumped on November 12 as the key date to urge investors to action (both buying the stock and, naturally, subscribing to his Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin). So […]
I haven’t looked at the Capital Wave Forecast stuff from Shah Gilani in quite a while, so the latest teaser pitch from him and the Money Map folks caught my eye — particularly because he’s touting big moves in specific large-cap “blue chip” type stocks, which is pretty rare in newsletterdom (it’s a lot easier […]
People can’t get enough of the “Internet of Things” and the role that plays in the “smart home” of the future (or perhaps the present), so we’ve gotten a few questions about David Dittman’s Jetsons spiel in recent weeks — particularly since we covered the first stock he was teasing but didn’t get to the […]
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. Michael Kao’s presentation is titled “Multiple ZONES of Optionality” — which sounds conceptually a little bit similar to his “asymmetric investing” pitch from the Spring Congress in Las Vegas. […]
This ad is not exactly brand new, but folks have been sending in queries about it for a few weeks, and pretty steadily, so I thought I’d try to get some answers out for you. The pitch is from Ian Wyatt, who’s trying to sell his Top Stock Insights newsletter by throwing in a “special […]
I’m shaking things up a bit this time around — every year, I spend some time early in the year going over all the past suggestions I’ve made as “Idea of the Month” picks, and we’re doing the same once again starting today … but this time instead of a chronological listing I’m going to […]
Most of the time I write about the investment newsletter business — the pundits who sell their expertise, the copywriters who make the mundane seem otherworldly, and the outrageous promises and teases that the publishers use to convince us to subscribe to newsletters that proffer investment research and stock tips. But it’s worth noting that […]
Before I get into the point of today’s Friday File, I want to welcome the newcomers to the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars, and to especially thank those who joined up during our charity membership drive just before Christmas — we managed to raise a total of just over $2,600 for our two charities, and I was […]
It is fashionable across all of the investing punditry universe to be terrified of inflation — and for good reason, inflation is the thief that steals a dollar a day from your wallet without your notice, until you go to pay for your $58 coffee one day and come out with an empty hand. So […]
