We have a charming little tradition here at Stock Gumshoe of picking out the stinkiest stock to have been teased over the past year, and calling it our “Turkey of the Year” come Thanksgiving time.

Motley Fool's Secret "Your Credit Card is Dead" Stock

Well, the copywriters over the Motley Fool seem to have been working overtime to churn out ads for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor … so I guess the lights will stay on late into the night at Gumshoe HQ, too. What is it they’re pitching now, and why does it have so many of my […]

Have you seen the newest ad from the Motley Fool? It’s similar in many ways to lots of their other teaser ads — it’s loooooong, it includes lots of quotes from outside sources to buttress their claim that they are the one publisher looking out for the small investor, and it teases an investment idea […]

The Motley Fool copywriters seem to love this general type of pitch — “Must buy X before Y happens!” — they used it heavily for their multiple teases of American Tower, among others (buy before the iPhone 4, then buy before Verizon gets the iPhone … I assume we’ll also see it again when the […]

Today’s tempting teaser is from the Motley Fool brothers, Dave and Tom Gardner — well, they didn’t write the ad, that fell to the publisher so they didn’t have to get their hands dirty with hucksterism, but they’re the ones recommending the stocks. The ad’s theme is an update on one that they’ve been using […]

The Motley Fool folks have been using the “3 Kings of Cloud Computing” special report to pitch David Gardner’s Rule Breakers newsletter for a couple years now, and have occasionally even given away all three of those stock picks for free as part of their “give us your email” list building exercises — but I […]

The folks at the Motley Fool are right up there in the top ranks when it comes to over-the-top email marketing for their subscription newsletters, and the latest ad for their flagship Stock Advisor is no different — here’s how it opens: “What if an ‘unmistakable signal’ could lead you to PROFITS of 832%, 935%, […]

Just when I thought my Monday morning might be a big gloomy, with the clouds rolling in for a day of humid thunderstorms, here comes a ray of sunshine to brighten my outlook: The Foolies have a new ad out! Yay! This one’s for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, the one that pits bros Tom […]

That headline is a quote from the Motley Fool, in a recent teaser ad for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, the one that pits brother/founders Dave and Tom Gardner against each other. They run through their familiar spiel, that Wall Street ignores the little guy, mutual funds managers underperform and get overpaid, and that brokers […]

Today we’re looking again at a teaser from our old friends at the Motley Fool — this time, the Rule Breakers folks, led by founding bro Dave Gardner … and they’ve got what they think is a hot growth stock that you have to buy now, before the next iPhone comes out in a few […]

Sniffing out the Gardner Brothers' Data security company

The Foolies are really ramping up their advertising again, it seems — I haven’t had this many questions about a teaser in quite a while. The ad now is for their flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, and it teases “The Motley Fool’s #1 Stock”. Here’s how they get us started: “While America is captivated by the […]

Today, for our sleuthing pleasure, we’ll be looking at an email ad that a good number of folks have forwarded to me in just the last couple minutes — here’s how the Motley Fool entices us to start reading … “‘Billion Dollar Blitzkrieg’ “IT’S COMING… And it could make 2010 the most profitable year of […]

Drilling stock teased by the Gardner Brothers

This teaser ad comes in for a newsletter I’ve written about many, many times over the past couple years, the Motley Fool Stock Advisor. And this is a good ‘ol patriotic “stand up and cheer” ad — all about how the Chinese can’t beat us when we’ve got some of the most critical technology and […]

Few terms get as much of a rise out of investors as “10 bagger”, the term popularized by Peter Lynch that refers to a stock that increases 10 times in value — and perhaps for good reason, since these kinds of hyper growth stories, even if they take a decade or more to unfold, are […]

“ONE AMERICAN BRAND POISED TO POWER INTO THE GLOBAL MAINSTREAM! “Every decade or so, a brand is born in America that goes up like a moon shot and becomes a recognizable symbol all over the world… Brands like Levis… Coca-Cola… Harley-Davidson… Heinz… McDonalds… GE… Budweiser… Disney… Gillette… Pepsi… The Gap… IBM… Wal-Mart… Apple… Nike… Microsoft… […]

This ad from the Motley Fool has been around for a while, and they’re now giving away some of the teaser stock names for free — but they’re still keeping one “secret,” so I thought I’d revisit that part of the pitch and let you know who it is. For those who don’t know what […]

Monthly newsletter that looks for rapid growth stocks, usually smaller capitalization companies. “Rule Breakers” are typically “first mover” or “top dog” companies with rapid growth rates that conventional analysts consider very overvalued.

Launched by the Gardner brothers, with one stock pick from each per issue, but now Tom and David Gardner have largely stepped back from stock picking and the picks are made by “Rule Breaker” and “Everlasting Stock” teams.

The Motley Fool is sending out an ad that claims to have chosen “The Only Stock to Own 2009-2019.” Now there’s a promise, no? The assumption of almost all pundits and pontificators, myself included, is that this awful market might represent a remarkable buying opportunity — at least, an opportunity for those who make the […]

The good folks at Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor newsletter have another teaser for us … they think they’ve got a “virtually recession-proof” stock for you to buy … in their words: “On Sale Now… a Virtually Recession-Proof Business Poised for 100% Gains… “An investment story like this doesn’t come along very often… “It’s a business […]

This one has drummed up a fair amount of interest from the mighty horde of Gumshoe readers, I’ve been seeing it for a couple weeks now and it appears to still be actively pushed as I type. So … you might like to know the names of these three cloud computing giants, no? Read on […]

Newsletters are notorious for re-using the same ad copy for years and years and years, and the Motley Fool is no different — when they get a marketing pitch that really works, they keep trotting it out again, and again, and again. I’ve mentioned this before, particularly with their “Next Berkshire Hathaway” pick that gets […]

This one has caused quite a stir among the vast and mighty Gumshoe readership, if my steady deluge of email is any indication. Everybody loves growth stocks, especially when nothing else seems to be growing, and everyone thinks alternative energy will be the next billionaire-maker — the Fool compares the current situation in alternative energy […]

OK, so this one is quick and dirty. No, not that kind of dirty! Get your mind out of the gutter, it’s not even Noon yet. It’s not from an email ad, but from something else — I have recently noticed that the folks who write the free

Ah, I’m back on the horse now after so many days of struggling with boring computer code … and now the Thinkolator can really get a warmup, because we have before us yet another epic tome of teaserdom in the form of a Motley Fool email. This one’s trying to sell us “the unstoppable ‘multimedia […]

The Gardners are at it again, peddling their Motley Fool Stock Advisor Newsletter with the promise of the bonus free report on the “New American Super Brand.” Now I actually like the Motley Fool, and have paid to subscribe to some of their products in the past. But they’ve definitely perfected the insanely long advertising […]
