This ad started running late in 2018, and the article below was first published on February 4, 2019… the ad is sending a lot of questions our way this week and is almost entirely unchanged, and the article below is lightly updated to share some more recent news and developments. The promise in Dave Forest’s […]
Articles
This past week or so has been a “holy crap” one for those who are overexposed to momentum stocks — you know the ones, they’re the stocks I keep buying in small chunks but that are very expensive and a little frightening, the ones in my portfolio that I put in that category would be […]
Lots of folks have been asking about Dave Forest’s ad for Brandt Oil, which is apparently in every email inbox in the land this week… the ad is for Casey’s International Speculator, which is apparently helmed by Forest now, and for which they’d like to receive $1,995 from you for a year’s subscription (no refunds, […]
Sometimes it seems like investment newsletter teasers run in trends… last week we were inundated with “smart metal” pitches, this week the questions are pouring in about Doug Casey’s “Super Metal.” I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, so many newsletter ads try to implant a short little phrase in your head that harnesses their investing […]
We’ve seen a long stream of earnings reports and other worthwhile bits of data on Real Money Portfolio stocks since I last wrote to you, including some that actually included some interesting news, so prepare for a lot of quick updates…. Medical Properties Trust (MPW) reported another quarter of ho-hum… pretty much met the forecasts, […]
Jason Stutman’s “upgrade” newsletter, The Cutting Edge ($1,499/yr), is out with a teaser campaign that promises you the chance at riches from “Charged Ore” … and, in fact, an actual sample of that ore itself as part of your subscription. So what is “Charged Ore,” and what’s this little Nebraska mine that Stutman thinks will […]
Welcome back, volatility! I’ve got the remainder of my Annual Review to share with you in a separate post that will be released later on, but thought I’d get my big picture thinking out of the way for you first… including a brief update about the few portfolio moves that I made today as we […]
For this week, the focus of my Annual Review moves to natural resources. I’ve owned a bunch of stocks in this sector over the years, though it has grown more concentrated of late in the mining area — mostly gold, though not entirely. To start with, I should share my basic strategy — or my […]
Annual predictions time! People are feeling a bit wealthier after this long stretch of bull market, I imagine, though the Fear and Greed Index is highly volatile and and has swung back and forth between extremes at least a couple times a year over the past few years, with 2017 being no exception, and that […]
Lots to talk about today… we’ll start with a quick teaser solution, then move on to some big picture thoughts, updates on the changes in my portfolio (a couple small buys), and some other little updates and cogitations. The teaser comes from Mike Cintolo’s Cabot Growth Investor, which is just what it sounds like: a […]
This teaser solution from October originally appeared in a Friday File for the Irregulars, but it has now been unlocked for everyone to see. This excerpt has not been updated or revised since it was first published on October 6, the two investments teased both ran up sharply since then and come back down to […]
The latest ad for The Casey Report caught my eye this week, partly because I thought they might be following in teasing eCobalt (ECSI)… but it turns out that’s not the case, this pitch from E.B. Tucker about the next cobalt bull market being driven by lithium-ion battery demand is all about two other cobalt […]
The latest Keith Kohl ad caught my eye, since I’ve been interested in cobalt for a while now and figured that “blue gold” probably means he’s teasing that metal … so what’s the story, is it cobalt he’s talking about, and what’s the cobalt-related investment that he thinks will make us 1,000%-type gains? Well, he […]
We’ve got a veritable smorgasbord for you this week — first, a quick update on one of our Real Money Portfolio stocks, then I’ll take a very quick look at the “Seven Deals” teased by the new Rick Rule Alliance pitch by the Money Map folks, and, finally, I’ll dig into the little hints that […]
I’ve got a hodgepodge of ideas and small news items for you this week, plus a few transactions in my Real Money Portfolio that I’ve mostly noted for the Irregulars in quick notes earlier in the week. The market is expensive, but there’s no reason for a long-term investor to sell just because it’s expensive […]
Each year I check in on every company that I own and cover for the Irregulars, even those where my opinion doesn’t change much from month to month (or even from year to year, in some cases)… but we’re going to do it a little differently this year. This is all part of what will […]
Getting a bit of your usual Friday File commentary out on the early side this week, since I made a personal purchase that I thought might interest my favorite Irregulars. And by purchase I mean “dumb speculation,” really — I picked up some shares of a junior miner that’s way too small to take seriously, […]
