Personal Finance ($39 for the first year) is a relative low cost “entry level” investment newsletter, the kind that all the big publishers use to recruit the wave of new subscribers who get fed into their marketing “funnel” that generates leads for their higher-priced services… though, to be fair, we also often hear from readers […]

Today we’ve got a bit of a quickie for you, mostly just because the clues that were dropped were extremely limited… but it also happens to be a stock I’ve looked at before, so I thought it was worth taking a second look today. Paul Mampilly over the weekend was peddling his True Momentum service […]
Time, once again, for the Annual Review of all of the stocks I hold in the Real Money Portfolio. Many of my positions are built up over many years, and sometimes they’re stocks that don’t generate a lot of news or attention for months at a time, so I promise each January to cover every […]

This teaser pitch came in from Briton Ryle and the Angel Publishing folks a few times over the past week as they’ve been advertising The Wealth Advisory… and you might be thinking that it sounds kinda familiar. I thought so […]
We’re breaking things up a little bit today for the Friday File — this piece is about some investments that interest me personally, and I’ve also got a teaser solution piece for the Irregulars today that you can see here. The investments that are most appealing to me right now are both in the technology […]
We have had a long line of questions about the misleading “Internet Royalties” teaser from The Wealth Advisory, so I’m going to re-share that one. My initial solution for this teaser pitch appeared at the tail end of a Friday File for the Irregulars (our paid members) on September 12, 2014, so many of you […]

[unlocked for free readers on October 7, 2015] Did you notice that Dr. Kent Moors is out again with his “trade has hit green light status” teaser pitch for his Energy Inner Circle newsletter? The ad is about an options trade he’s recommending on the US Oil ETF (USO), and we wrote about it back […]
I always get a lot of food for thought when I go to the Value Investing Congress, so I’ve got a teaser solution and some updates for your Friday File enjoyment but I thought I’d start with some musing about the Congress ideas that percolated to the top for me on the train ride home… […]
Today is a fun day for every value investor out there — it’s the day Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders comes out.
