Here’s the pitch that a bunch of readers sent me this week: “On June 28, 2011, a tiny Sunnyvale, CA based technology company, quietly made an incredible announcement. “In short, they’ve developed a new static random-access memory (“SRAM” for short) chip that drastically boosts online processing speeds. “Simply put, these chips are the fastest on […]

Brian Tycango is pitching a few ideas for his Asian Growth Stocks newsletter — the letter often focuses on stocks that are tough for small US-only investors to buy (ie, no US listing and thinly traded on the pink sheets, or not on the pinks at all), but today he seems to be talking up […]
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 […]
Well, it’s the beginning of a new year and time for introspection — so I thought I’d revisit some of the older ideas I’ve profiled for the Idea of the Month, and list all of the Ideas in my order of preference today. So first, the list — if I were buying today from the […]
Last week I promised that I would be writing a special note of some kind just for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars each Friday — I’ll be calling this feature the Friday File, and it will include whatever I think might be interesting to share with you each week, whether it’s a new stock teaser unraveling […]
This past year of writing for the Gumshoe faithful has been a wonderful one for me, but not so much for the returns of the stocks that I singled out for extra attention here for the loyal Stock Gumshoe Irregulars. As I’ve noted before, starting this additional little service for my contributors has served mostly, […]
General Steel Holdings, which I have written about a couple times, keeps getting beaten up. The shares are falling again today (OK, almost everything’s falling today, but GSI is falling pretty hard, down almost 8% at one point a few minutes ago). Why? Well, other than the general ugliness over small cap Chinese stocks and […]
General Steel (GSI), which I wrote about in detail for my July “Idea of the Month”, is continuing on its established path — it has made another acquisition, again in cooperation with the acquiree. This time, GSI has announced that it entered into a letter of intent to buy Yantai Steel Pipe, yet another specialty […]
GSI posted earnings that were just about in-line with analyst estimates of 13 cents a share in profit, though they had a big derivative writedown that gave them an accounting loss for the quarter. Sales were significantly higher than estimates, beating by about 10%. Volumes just about doubled in the quarter, thanks to the big […]
This one will probably not be a shock to you, because unlike some of the others I’ve featured in this space it is a company that I wrote about on StockGumshoe.com fairly recently, and fairly positively. I’ve since had some time to look over the company’s fundamentals and market more thoroughly, and I think now […]
Just a quick note to give the Irregulars a little bonus information: it looks like both Louis Navellier and the Motley Fool’s Bill Mann are currently touting the same company, General Steel Holdings (GSI). That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a great pick, but after reading Bill Mann’s ad for the Global Gains service and […]
This one comes in from Bill Mann at the Motley Fool’s Global Gains service, which I’ve looked at several times before — and I’ve also liked a lot of their picks and have invested in a few of the same companies personally, so I usually pay extra attention to their ads. Which doesn’t make them […]
