Cryptocurrency trading newsletter launched in June 2018, aims to help investors “navigate the new era of cryptocurrencies.”

Reviewing Curzio’s “This Tiny $6 Company is Going to Replace Every ‘Smart Device’ on the Planet” pitch
This article was originally published on March 26, with an immediate deadline at the time… but the ad is now being recirculated by Marin Katusa with a new April 30 deadline, so we’re re-sharing the teaser solution. The meat of the ad is unchanged, and the article that follows is also unchanged… and we’ve left […]
Graphite, Lithium & Cobalt — Gerardo Del Real Teases that “Shares of This ‘One-Stop Mine Shop’ Could Earn You 826%”
The talk of trade war with China is bringing the idea of Chinese mineral dominance back to the pages of investment teaser ads… we’ve seen several in the last week or two that focus on rare earths, where China remains dominant and might have some extra negotiating leverage in trade disputes, and this latest pitch […]
Curzio’s “This Off-the-Radar $1 Gold Stock is About to Go Vertical” pitch
Frank Curzio has one of those “limited time only” opportunities now for a little gold stock, and he has some pretty outlandish returns to entice us… so let’s sort through his clues and see what he’s talking about. The pitch is for his Curzio Venture Opportunities newsletter, which is the back-end “upgrade” newsletter for Curzio […]
Friday File: Venture Gold from Curzio, plus A Few Buys and a Sell in the Real Money Portfolio
I know quite a few folks got to chatting about Bellicum (BLCM) following Ernie Tremblay’s overly heated pitch for the stock last week, covered in the Friday File a week ago… and, well, things so far are going as they often do: Overhype the ad, overpromise some dramatic results from a presentation that’s really much […]
Mega Friday File: Portfolio Updates, Rick Rule’s 7 Deals, and Curzio’s Little Gold Hints
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 […]
Friday File — Real Money Update, Watchlist, and more
We’ve seen some real shift in the dollar, interest rates, and gold over the past week or so, driven, it seems, mostly by the geopolitical risk that is headlined by Syria — I don’t have any idea how that will resolve itself, but under President Trump and his ability (and seeming inclination) to create “black […]
Curzio Research Advisory
Entry level newsletter from Frank Curzio’s new research company (he previously wrote the somewhat similar letters Small Stock Specialist and Disruptors and Dominators for Stansberry and Weiss, respectively), aims to focus on stocks of any size (most of his previous newsletters were small-cap focused) and on large trends.
Curzio’s “Silicon Valley Solves Social Security Problem” Teaser
Frank Curzio has graced the pages of Gumshoe quite a few times over the years, under the aegis of several different publishers, but this is the first time he has actively promoted his new self-published “front end” newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory (he launched his “back end” newsletter, Curzio Venture Opportunities, late last year). I don’t […]
What’s the “Silver Bullet” Cancer Vaccine Company Pitched by Disruptors and Dominators?
The Disruptors and Dominators newsletter, one of the “entry level” letters from Weiss, is out pitching a “silver bullet” company — a firm that has developed a universal cancer vaccine. And, of course, they’ll tell you all about it — for your $49 subscription fee. Here at Stock Gumshoe, we’d like you to think things […]
“Project Ironman” and some Quarterly Updates
I’ve got one little teaser to look at for you in your Friday File today, and then some quick updates on the companies in the real money portfolio I manage. The teaser pitch that several folks have asked about is the “Project Ironman” teaser from Marin Katusa, which he’s talking up as a “totally new […]
What’s “The Billionaire Gold Syndicate” and why does Frank Curzio think it can return 32X your money?
Frank Curzio is pretty close to my age, I think, but has been a newsletter guy for decades — his dad was a newsletter writer, well-known mostly because he accurately predicted the 1987 crash (presumably in his F.X.C. Newsletter) and got pretty consistent attention from the press for a while because of that, and Frank […]
Curzio Venture Opportunities
Small cap newsletter from Frank Curzio, high-end newsletter for his Curzio Research service, he says it will focus on early stage opportunities and on private placements to which he can provide access.
More of those gold “Supercharger” Plays
Late last week I started digging into a teaser from Sean Brodrick at Oxford Resource Explorer that promised “three supercharger plays” for the bull market in precious metals that he expects — and though I only “solved” the first teased stock that day I promised to follow up and catch up on the other two. […]
What’s Nick Hodge’s “Proven Golden ‘Loophole'” that “Magnifies Gold & Silver Gains?”
Nick Hodge is pitching his Early Advantage newsletter (about $800) with a story about a “golden loophole” that he says provides your best path to profits in the precious metals business — and lots of readers have asked me about that “loophole” this morning, so we’re going to put the Thinkolator to work identifying the […]
The Winners of 2015
As a reformed academic, I have it hard-wired in my brain that work should cease for the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day — Stock Gumshoe will be running on autopilot starting this afternoon, and we’re not likely to have much in the way of new articles posted until next year (unless you want […]
Curzio’s “This Swab Can Reveal How You’re Going to Die (And How to Stop It)”
Frank Curzio has been around the block a few times, helming mostly small-cap newsletters for three different big publishers over the last decade or so — his current “entry level” newsletter for Uncommon Wisdom/Weiss is called Disruptors and Dominators, and he’s selling it today by touting the possibility of 2,997% gains from the advancing science […]
$1 Gold Stock and “The Greatest Gold Opportunity in the Last Decade”
Just returning from vacation, and I don’t have anything new for you just yet… but I see that the questions have been piling up about Frank Curzio’s new newsletter and the $1 gold stock he’s been touting as they drum up new subscribers. And, thankfully, that’s one I already took a quick look at — […]
Finishing up the Annual Review, plus “The Greatest Gold Opportunity in the Last Decade”
I like Frank Curzio’s podcast (now called Wall Street Unplugged), and I generally find his way of thinking interesting, so after he was laid off by Porter Stansberry I was half hoping he’d go off on his own and build his own newsletter business from scratch (he edited Phase 1 Investor and Small Cap Specialist […]
“It’s going to be the ‘Apple’ of cancer therapy in the next 20 years.”
Immunotherapy for cancer has been in the news quite a bit in recent years, with several drugs making an impact on the worst cancers and giving some real hope for future advancement — not a small thing for a basic medical strategy that’s been tested and tweaked for 125 years now by folks following in […]
Marijuana Millions: “The Kennedy Story You Were Never Told”
Famous families and historical fortunes fascinate investors — the idea that these families you know and (sometimes) worship created vast fortune because of one wily speculator way back in the family tree is almost irresistibly interesting. It gives us the feeling that any family can rise up and make a big bet on the way […]
Exploring Frank Curzio’s “Once in a Lifetime Meeting” about a $1 Brazilian Gold stock
Frank Curzio’s latest pitch for his pricey Phase 1 Investor newsletter has the Gumshoe faithful mighty, mighty curious… he gets us going with a little intro about how he was at an “invite only” meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York that he said was about investing in Brazilian resources. The lead-in to the […]
Solving Curzio’s “The Marijuana Investment Story No One’s Telling”
Well, again Frank Curzio’s Phase 1 Investor wins the prize for “teaser ad most Gumshoe readers are asking about” … so let’s give it a gander for you. Phase 1 is a premium-priced ($3,500 is the current “on sale” cost) small cap newsletter published by Stansberry, and it tends to be among the most-requested letters […]
Curzio’s “The 20-Second Battery: Investing in a Miracle Material”
Today we have to put my usual cautionary note up top. The stock Frank Curzio is pitching as the key supplier for “The 20-Second Battery” is ridiculously small. It has already been recommended to his subscribers over at Phase 1 Investor, so presumably they’ve gotten their fill of the stock (he also touted it about […]
“Birch Basin: America’s secret energy discovery” Revealed
There’s been a quick burst of interest from Gumshoe readers about Frank Curzio’s latest teaser pitch … and like a fuzzy little puppy, I aim only to please, so we’ll get an answer for you as quickly as we can. OK, not all that quick — we do have our customary blatheration and hemming and […]
$82 billion opportunity disappearing soon? (Frank Curzio’s Phase 1)
Several intrepid readers sent this pitch flying my way while we were digging out of our latest snowstorm, and I figured a nice little panic about an $82 billion “missed opportunity” ought to warm me up. Phase 1 Investor, the big “upgrade” letter from Stansberry & Associates, usually gets our readers attention when they send […]
Sleuthifying Curzio’s “How to Make 3 Times Your Money on Patent Royalties”
OK, so this one’s a bit tricky. And not just because the clues are a bit limited. Don’t worry, we’ll still find an answer for you … but a caveat or two first … Frank Curzio edits Phase 1 Investor, which is Stansberry’s “big ticket” newsletter that typically covers small tech, biotech and natural resources […]
What’s Frank Curzio’s Under Fifty Cent Company that he says we should Buy by November 1?
Buy this ‘Under $0.50’ Stock by November 1st, 2013 “This is one of the few times in the history of our business we have recommended a company so small and with such high upside potential. A triple-digit gain within the next 12-36 months is highly possible…. “We’ve been vetting the opportunity for nearly two years.” […]
Revealed: Frank Curzio’s “150 people ONLY” Small Resource Firm for Phase 1
Well, you probably know the drill by now — if there’s going to be a teaser pitch made for a $5,000 (or $3,000 “on sale”) newsletter, and if that pitch is going to be made by probably the largest marketer in the newsletter world, well, yours truly is going to be inundated with requests to […]
Revealing Frank Curzio’s “Ultimate App” Biometrics Stock
Well, well, well — another month, another Phase 1 teaser from Frank Curzio and the Stansberry folks. And if you’re going to use your massive mailing list of a few million investors to sell a $3,000 newsletter that most of them won’t ever consider, well, you can pretty much predict that the queries will make […]
“Multi- Millionaire Grandmother’s BIG Retirement Secret… The Two Best Royalty Businesses on the Planet”
Here’s the lead-in to the new Stansberry & Associates pitch: “How I Got My Multi-Millionaire Grandmother To Finally ‘Spill The Beans’ On Her BIG Retirement Secret “She went from making $17 a week… to completely retired, practically overnight. She hasn’t worked a day in over 53 years and will NEVER outlive her money. “She’s never […]
“The single most controversial recommendation we’ve ever made…” (Frank Curzio)
Phase 1 Investor is the big kahuna newsletter at Stansberry & Associates, the $5,000 newsletter that they typically discount to $3,000 when sending out promo emails … … and they market this letter so heavily that Gumshoe readers flood our inbox whenever a new Phase 1 teaser ad runs. So … another of their teasers […]
What’s the Water Play for “Eagle Diesel?”
Water always gets quite a bit of attention around Gumshoe Headquarters — it is a perennial topic of investor interest, and we see waves of excitement about water stocks rise and fall with some regularity. And it’s not hard to see why — fresh, clean water is in short supply in much of the world […]
Solving Frank Curzio’s “The NEXT Royal Gold” Teaser
“The last time this happened, early investors had an opportunity to make a fortune. Now one team of researchers thinks it’s happening again… with an unusual, little-known mining stock.” That’s the opening of the latest teaser from Frank Curzio for his Phase 1 Investor newsletter, and it’s not the first time we’ve heard the promise […]
“The Most Shocking Video on the Internet” (What’s Curzio’s “invisibility cloak” stock?)
I had another note in mind to share with you today, but the overwhelming demand for answers about the new Phase 1 promo that started mailing last night has jumped it to the top of my inbox. Frank Curzio’s Phase 1 Investor newsletter, which is the pricey letter published by Stansberry ($5,000, but usually “on […]
Phase 1’s “Urgent Gold Information” takeover teaser for “Tiny Gold”
This teaser is going to get a lot of attention from Gumshoe readers, partly because Stansberry Phase 1 Investor teasers always get a lot of attention (they usually tease a small stock and they charge $5,000 for the newsletter, which gives them an aura of awesomeness — deserved or not), and partly because the pitch […]
“Transylvania Gas” and Phase 1’s April 26 Conference Call
This teaser has gotten a lot of attention from my readers, as do all the pitches thrown by the folks at Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor newsletter — you just know that if you charge $5,000 for a subscription, and use one of the world’s largest investor mailing lists to tease a tiny stock in order […]
Frank Curzio’s “Gold Fracking” — Sniffing out his “Aboveground Miners”
I’ve been blathering about my own investments in these Friday Files for a couple weeks now, but for today we’re going back to sniffing out teaser picks … in this case, a teaser pick for “Gold Fracking” that Frank Curzio has been sending out pretty aggressively for a couple days in pitches for his Small Stock […]
Small Speculative Buy [Jan 24 update: and Sell]
Just to keep you up to date on my personal portfolio, I need to tell you that today I picked up a few shares of Gold Standard Ventures, the pick that I uncovered for you from Phase 1 last week. This is very much a flier, based just on the speculation that the Stansberry teasers […]
“Territory 4: How to Make a Fortune in the World’s Richest Gold Belt” — “Thinly Traded Gold Firm” for “75 People Only” (Frank Curzio’s Phase 1)
I generally don’t like to write about super-heavily-hyped microcap stocks for the whole Gumshoe readership, because we’re almost guaranteed to cause a spike in the price for that stock. So when I saw the latest teaser for the Phase 1 folks over at Stansberry, and those teasers always cause a huge flood of emails to […]
What is Frank Curzio’s “$10,000 Pill” Stock?
I suppose I should expect this by now — whenever Frank Curzio and the gang put out a teaser for Phase 1 Investor, which is the big-money newsletter from Stansberry & Associates ($5,000/year, though almost always “on sale” at $3,000 when they’re running promos), my inbox gushes like Spindletop. Didn’t matter if it was a […]
“How to put one million ounces of pure gold ‘in your name’ in the next 72 hours”
Here’s the lead-in to the latest ad for the Global Resource Alert “I’m Peter Krauth and I’d like to tell you a story about a “private vault”… “A ‘vault’ that contains nearly one million ounces of 99.9% pure gold bars ready for market, ready to sell for nearly $1.4 billion at today’s spot price. “This […]
Phase 1’s “Next Royal Gold” … Hello, old friend!
I always love to see a new teaser from Phase 1 Investor, the high-price newsletter offered as the “ultimate upgrade” by the Stansberry & Associates folks — the stocks usually are interesting, they’re often tiny and move like crazy after the teaser campaign, and the marketing language is always plenty florid to justify the $5,000 […]
What’s the “World’s Most Secretive Company” that’s “Dry Drilling” in Canada?
You can always count on a good story from a Phase 1 teaser — Phase 1 is the fancy top-of-the-line upgrade newsletter from Stansberry & Associates ($5,000/year, though it’s usually “on sale” for $3,000 when they’re promoting it as they are now), currently edited by Frank Curzio, and it has historically focused on lots of […]
“Saudis to Quit Oil Business?” Penny Shale Firms
Frank Curzio is tantalizing us to subscribe to his Penny Stock Specialist newsletter (Stansberry & Assoc.) by teasing about a few penny stocks in the shale gas business — but of course, that’s not enough, there has to be a huge back story as well. And the story this time, should you choose to sit […]
“Chi-Tab — Can You Make a Fortune from China’s Newest Computer?”
I certainly don’t mean to impugn those without sight or hearing, but if you can read or listen, and have ever given your email address to any kind of financial website, chances are pretty good that you’ve been pitched this week about the “Chi-Tab” by Frank Curzio for his pricey Phase 1 newsletter at Stansberry […]
Which Tiny .70 Company Found the “Supernova Gold” Mother Lode?
Those who’ve been with the Gumshoe for a while know that it’s tough to top Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor for marketing that uses over-the-top hyperbole about tiny biotech and mining stocks, and creative names that obscure the truth behind their investments — that doesn’t seem to have changed much with the new(ish) guy at the […]
What the heck is “Thermogenic Oil?” I thought you’d never ask …
Well, as I noted in the Daily Update email on Friday, the Thermogenic Oil teaser from the Stansberry folks has garnered more interest from my readers than anything else in recent months — so at the very least, that copywriter deserves a raise. And I also said I’d try to take a closer look and […]
“Gold Sands” — “A small, publicly traded micro-cap has stumbled onto the discovery of a lifetime”
Well, this seems like a good way to get back to work after a week of moving — and I must say, I’m relieved that it’s not a hugely difficult teaser, since the mighty Thinkolator is not yet up to speed after the move. Hopefully I’ll find the rest of the pieces by next week. […]
“The Next ‘Trojan’ Could Pay You 4,750%”
Well, it didn’t take long for Porter Stansberry to get his newest analyst, Frank Curzio, to headline the Phase 1 Investor newsletter, their most expensive product — this is a letter that has focused mostly on biotech, other tiny tech stocks, and junior miners over the last couple years that I’ve written about them (at […]
“The Next Royal Gold” Revealed
I was going to hold off on writing about this teaser until Friday and cover it just for the Irregulars in the Friday File because it’s a tiny stock and I’ll very likely be influencing the price by writing about it for this larger group today — but I’ve gotten so many questions in just […]
“Chinese Penny Stock Lands Deal with Wal-Mart”
“What happens when a tiny Chinese Penny Stock lands a deal with Walmart? “This tiny company’s amazing new product line will be sold by the world’s biggest retailer (with 4,258 U.S. stores). Similar deals have rewarded early investors with gains of 1,838%… 748%… and even 10,775%. “‘Our factories are working overtime to keep up with […]
“The Secret Penny Stock that Supplies Apple”
Well, the folks at Stansberry are now releasing the penny stock newsletter that they’ve been testing for a few months — and of course, they’d like you to subscribe. The editor is Frank Curzio, who used to run a similar newsletter at TheStreet.com focusing on stocks under $10. So just as a warning, both Curzio […]
Small Stock Specialist (defunct)
Monthly small cap newsletter, formerly called Penny Stock Specialist. Canceled when Curzio left Stansberry.
Phase 1 Investor (defunct)
Focuses on small, potentially explosive growth companies, mostly in mining, tech and biotech. Formerly run by Rob Fannon. Stopped publishing after Curzio left Stansberry, Stansberry now Publishes the similar Stansberry Venture as their high-priced letter.
