This ad makes me sad in many ways, but readers have been asking… so let’s get you some answers. Here’s part of the intro email from Ian Wyatt, who’s pitching a “urgent trade alert” that will be part of another of his webinars (or if you want to be old-fashioned, “infommercials”) to be hosted on […]
This tease caught my eye, mostly because I was genuinely curious — Ian Wyatt is promoting a “webinar” he’s going to host on May 10 that will talk up a way to play the “new bull market” in oil, and part of it, at least, is going to be about a “unconventional IPO.” So I […]
This pitch sounds quite familiar, and there’s a good reason for that — Ian Wyatt last year pushed quite hard on a favorite special dividend play… and this initially looked like a repeat of that, because the company that paid a huge special dividend around Thanksgiving last year is again paying one right now. How’s […]
Ian Wyatt is pitching a “pre-IPO” opportunity in Spotify, the music-streaming business that is going public on the NYSE tomorrow… so what’s the story? Can you “get in early?” Should you want to? What’s this all about, anyway? We’ve gotten quite a few questions slipped under the door here at Gumshoe HQ about this one, […]
Ian Wyatt has another “special dividend” presentation that’s currently being heavily promoted to lure new subscribers for one of his newsletters… and like the one we looked at last year, this is a pitch for Steve Mauzy’s Dividend Confidential. If you don’t know what “special dividends” are, they’re essentially one-time dividends that don’t imply any […]
Investors love the idea of a “back door” — they want to be able to get in on something before everybody else, to get a taste of the big time without having to wait in line behind the velvet rope — and Wyatt Investment Research is using that notion to help convince people to subscribe […]
Launched in 2016, aims to recommend trades in companies that pay special dividends (either one-time or ongoing)
Ian Wyatt has been a fan of “special dividends” for some time, and has hinted at the huge potential payouts for his various investment newsletters over the years… this ad from him is in much the same vein, though he’s now selling a newsletter that is specifically focused on just these “special dividends.” And, as […]
This is just silly. Politicians always find their names appropriated by newsletter ad campaigns, because it’s an easy way to catch your eye — you’re already (or maybe not you, but lots of folks) feeling passionate about Donald Trump, or Hillary Clinton, or President Obama or whoever… so if those names are blazoned across an […]
Options trading service that aims for limited gains and lower risk. From their website: “Andy doesn’t swing for the fences or take undue risks; rather his proven, patient method delivers income producing wins the majority of the time.”
Ian Wyatt has teased “venture capital” style investments before for his Million Dollar Portfolio newsletter, but this one has at least one name that hasn’t popped up before… so I thought I’d take a look for you. (And from what I can tell it used to be the $100K portfolio, so I guess he’s doing […]
“Dozens of the world’s wealthiest are watching their income soar here… “… it’s not just because of its warm, tropical breezes and its pristine, crystal-clear waters. “And it’s not just because there’s no crime and little-to-no unemployment. “You see, this island paradise differs from so much of the developed in a much more fundamental way… […]
Sounds good, right? Sitting back and collecting a nice rent check every month — without having to be the guy who fixes the roof or calls the plumber or has to deal with tenants who skip town without paying or have loud parties and annoy the neighbors? It’s perfect! And, of course, it’s been eminently […]
Ian Wyatt is pitching a stock that he says is going to surge on the demand for more wireless data that comes with each new iteration of the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy… and I didn’t look at this ad for a few days, because it sounded really familiar. Wyatt’s copywriters love the Apple iPhone connection […]
This pitch has been around for more than a year now, but apparently it’s in heavy rotation again so I took another look today. And yes, you guessed it, the ad is almost completely unchanged from what ran in the Spring of 2013… the same pitch for REIT dividends being “Real Estate Tax Rebates,” the […]
“There’s a secret income opportunity buried deep within dusty Silicon Valley… “It’s called the Silicon Valley bank and it churns out a steady cash stream of 8.71%. “But unlike customary Silicon Valley deals, this unique opportunity isn’t reserved solely for big shots, private venture capital firms or Wall Street investment banks… “In other words, this […]
Today we are blessed with another teaser pitch from Ian Wyatt, who tells us he’s got the “one stock you must own” for this year … and he’ll tell you what it is just as soon as you sign up for his Top Stock Insights newsletter. The basic spiel is like many that have relied […]
That “top stock” headline is the promise of Ian Wyatt, not myself, just to be clear. Wyatt and Taylor Laundon put out a letter called Top Stock Insights, the text of the ad for that letter says it’s from Taylor and the letter is “signed” by Ian Wyatt, so I guess we’ll assume it’s a […]
I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the latest pitch from Ian Wyatt for his $100K Portfolio newsletter — this is his letter that tracks the trades of a $100,000 real money portfolio of his own money, started up a couple years ago when every newsletter publisher was trying out a “real money” letter. I […]
This is a teaser pitch that Ian Wyatt has been making for some time for his High-Yield Wealth newsletter, but it’s been about two years now since I first saw and wrote about this pitch … … and he is still pretty aggressively spreading this particular gospel, with the latest urgent rush to buy the […]
“One unique type of gold investment (that most Americans have never heard of) based in British Columbia has outperformed every asset class in existence – rising twice as fast as gold. “The average investor in this gold secret made over 80% a year for 20 straight years – even after gold crashed last year. “But […]
Ian Wyatt is out with a new teaser promo for his $100K Portfolio service, and it’s all about a young company that’s growing rapidly and changing America in a substantial way … with a free new “highway” across the country. He pitches this secret stock using the same kind of language that several other growth-focused […]
Ian Wyatt is selling his High-Yield Wealth newsletter by promising to help you get your first “gas rebate check” that can offset your high fuel expenses. Which sounds appealing, right? No one likes to fill up at the gas station, and people go gaga even for simple store card rebate programs that give you five […]
“January 1, 2013 it begins… “Just 54 Days left before your dividends get thrown off the fiscal cliff… “Most dividend investors will be wiped out by the coming tax nightmare… “But a small class of dividend companies will come out on top – regardless of whether Congress raises dividend taxes.” That’s the lead-in to the […]
Newsletter focused on stock picking in the commodities space.
Every single time the Apple iPhone is revised, refreshed or upgraded the wave of teasers comes crashing down upon us once more. Not that we’re complaining, mind you — this is, after all, the path we’ve chosen: They tease, we de-tease … if they stop, we stop. And frankly, we don’t have anything better to […]
Ian Wyatt is promoting his High Yield Wealth newsletter by touting a “little-known government loophole” that he thinks could help you collect a lot more income than a 401(k) account … so, naturally, we want to know what it is. Here’s how he drums up interest: “How a little-known government loophole called the ‘N54(a) Retirement […]
On a day when the Carlyle Group (CG) is making headlines for their IPO, which was generally received with a “meh” by Wall Street (priced slightly below the range, no pop on the IPO), why not take a look at a different private equity-type stock that’s apparently paying a much higher dividend? Or at least, […]
Now that Apple is the largest public company in the world, and the most popular stock, the eagerness with which newsletter guys tout “secret” Apple suppliers is ramping up still more … impressive in itself, since the basic “buy Apple suppliers” pitch has been around and making money for subscription-sellers ever since Synaptics was pitched […]
Originated as a “real money” $100,000 portfolio (called “Wyatt’s 100K Portfolio” at the time), mostly focused on “steady and reliable” ideas that generate income through dividends.
“What most investors don’t realize is that for a limited time, one American bank is offering an exclusive, under-the-radar CD that yields up to 13.16% annually. And just like any other CD – the principal is 100% insured by the FDIC for up to $250,000.” That’s what draw my eye to the latest tease from […]
This ad is not exactly brand new, but folks have been sending in queries about it for a few weeks, and pretty steadily, so I thought I’d try to get some answers out for you. The pitch is from Ian Wyatt, who’s trying to sell his Top Stock Insights newsletter by throwing in a “special […]
Energy focused stock advisory. Defunct.
Income-oriented newsletter focused on large dividends.
Sometimes we have a tendency to forget that the reason to own something is almost always to earn money on your investment — and that’s where dividends come in. Movements in stock prices and capital gains depend on the vagaries of the market, with stocks sometimes priced at 10 times earnings and sometimes at 30X […]
Ian Wyatt has been pitching the idea that you can “front run” Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway by buying stocks that he calls the “Warren Buffett Retirement Plan” — he’s done this before, but I think the stocks he’s teasing have changed this time around. There are three stock ideas hinted at in this teaser, […]
Monthly newsletter focusing on “larger growth stocks”
This note is very different from what I would write were it entitled, “Front-Running Buffett with David Sokol” — but since he has ended up in the SEC’s crosshairs, and been thrown under the bus by Warren since he made the ridiculously foolish choice to buy shares in a stock he was scouting out as […]
It’s shaping up to be Ian Wyatt week here at Stock Gumshoe — yesterday I took a look at a veiled hint of a Polish natural gas stock, and today we’re looking at a tease that looks like it may have started a couple months back but has been recently re-invigorated (and I haven’t researched […]
Today’s tease is from Ian Wyatt, who has his name on so many newsletters that I don’t know how he finds time to sleep, let alone watch Dancing with the Stars like any good red-blooded American (kidding! if there’s one thing I don’t want to see on TV, it’s reality). The letter he’s pitching now […]
Today’s tease hits home for most savers — the return you get for your money in the bank stinks, and most savings accounts and similarly “safe” savings vehicles yield don’t have interest yields that are even high enough to keep up with inflation. So the promise of a “savings account” that yields 8.2% is obviously […]
Dividends + Gold = Pretty much 99% of the questions I get from readers in any given day, so the headline of this teaser about getting a “8.4% Dividend From a Unique American Gold Investment” from Ian Wyatt for his Small Cap Investor Pro caught my eye: high dividends and gold? Where do I sign […]
Well, if the last ten years have taught us nothing else, we should have learned that this has been a spectacular time to promise that your investments are like Warren Buffett’s, or to sell folks on the idea of the “next” Berkshire Hathaway or Oracle of Omaha. I’ve written about probably dozens of stocks that […]
Today, for your Friday File pleasure, we roll out the Gumshoe carpet (we can make it a red one, if you like) for a recent tease from Ian Wyatt (again) for his SmallCapInvestor Pro newsletter — and this time, it’s about electricity. It’s also a tiny stock, so again, an appropriate one to look at […]
This teaser came to my attention a couple days ago, it’s from Ian Wyatt for his Energy World Profits newsletter, which as far as I can tell is new — it at least hasn’t been covered in this space before. It’s a newsletter that he edits with Gregor Mcdonald, who apparently is an “energy economist,” […]
That’s a nice promise, eh? A 10% dividend sounds just lovely right now … not that there aren’t a lot of 10% yielders around, of course, but perhaps this one is special? That’s what Ian Wyatt thinks, at least — he runs SmallCapInvestor PRO, and he’s telling us to look for small cap companies that […]
Paid service associated with SmallCapInvestor.com website, recommends small cap stocks and includes model portfolios.
“The Last Undiscovered Middle East Oil Field. Right now, there’s just one publicly traded company seriously looking for oil in this country. Just one. But this company has the exploration rights to 219,000 potentially oil-rich acres. And it just applied for the rights to another 245,000 acres. It could be nothing. The unique geology that produced billions of dollars of oil wealth in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Kuwait might simply stop at the borders of those countries… Or it might not.”
As another week of panic, fear, high oil prices, and skyrocketing food prices begins, let’s see if we can discover one of the folks likely to profit from the world’s hunger. Wow, that sounds much worse than I meant. OK, so we’re on the hunt for a fertilizer profiteer. Sorry. Just kidding! What we want […]
This stock teaser comes in from Ian Wyatt’s Growth Report newsletter, which I don’t think I’ve written about before. But the stock? That I have written about before. Those of you who’ve been around GumshoeLand for a little while might remember a teaser from Matt Badiali on the “Oil Sands Story 60 Minutes Missed” — […]
