This latest spiel from Casey Extraordinary Technology caught my eye because it includes so many silly enticements… the hint of mystery, the photo of the secret building that a big company never talks about, the connection to unusual world elites (a scale model hand delivered to Pope Francis” and, of course, “a technological breakthrough not […]
Bonner & Partners, which is yet another publisher subsidiary of Bill Bonner’s Agora empire, has a new teaser pitch out for Jeff Brown’s Exponential Tech Investor — and what caught the eye of Gumshoe readers was the headline, in the ad from Bonner’s Managing Director Amber Lee Mason, that promises huge gains from a “$39 […]
A few things to blather on about for you today — a teaser, a new mutual fund I’ve been following that has some appeal (and some of my money now), and some quick updates on my portfolio. First, though, I want to call attention to our discussions here at Stock Gumshoe. Most readers will never […]
I covered the first virtual reality pick hyped by Ray Blanco a few weeks ago, but I forgot to follow up and dig into the second and third picks he was teasing in that ad… so when I saw a new version of the ad circulating over the weekend, with the attention-getting “hook” changed from […]
We’ve seen a few teaser pitches about “wireless charging” over the past couple years, and it is indeed a compelling story — who among us wouldn’t be happy to have their phone, watch, or other electronic doodads being recharged over the air, relieving us of the irritation of having to find the right cord and […]
We haven’t looked into a Motley Fool teaser pitch for a while, so let’s all settle down in our desks and get out our pencils — we’ve got a long one to look at today, and it’s all about the kind of “rule breaking” company and technology that David Gardner, founding Fool brother from their […]
We’ve been on strange schedules here in Gumshoeland for the last two weeks, and during that time we’ve seen a large number of quarterly reports come through that deserve some attention or comment… as well as a few other notable news items that I feel like I should pay attention to. And, of course, we’ve […]
This article was originally published on August 13, 2013, around the time this teaser ad pitch was first circulated. The ad is still largely the same today and is circulating heavily again, and it is clearly still teasing the same company, so we’re just re-posting this article for all our newer readers who have questions… […]
I’m going to keep it brief for you today — and we’re not going to have a formal “Idea of the Month” piece for October because, well, we’re at the end of October and I haven’t recently come across a new idea that’s compelling enough for me to argue you should own it. In some […]
I’ve got a few thoughts on stocks I follow and on a portfolio move I made today to shave my risk profile a little bit, but first I thought I’d take a quick gander at the latest teaser pitch from Dr. Kent Moors. He’s pitching is Micro-Energy Trader, the small-cap portfolio he runs in an […]
It looks like our longtime favorite MEMS company, Invensense (INVN), which I continually wish I had bought on the many times it has dipped to $20 or below, is indeed finally an Apple iPhone supplier. Business has otherwise not been fantastic for INVN as some of their big customers, notably Nintendo, have scaled back in […]
First, I should tell you that this is bad for you. This searching for stocks that double in a day. Seeking such instant gratification in investing is like drinking three beers for breakfast every day because you’re thinking you might run into a friendly Brazilian model on the subway and you want to be “loose” […]
Michael Robinson has been a big booster of tech ideas for his Nova-X Report, and lately he’s trying to sell his newsletter by using a special report that he says will reveal “The Wearable Tech Investment Opportunity of a Lifetime.” So naturally, Gumshoe readers want to know who it is. The spiel starts off with […]
A hodgepodge of thoughts and comments to catch up with thoughts on a few companies that have reported quarterly results or had other meaningful news as I was on vacation — and a quick note on a small buy. First, I need to let you know that I bought a few JP Morgan warrants (JPM-WT) […]
Invensense (INVN), which in January I noted was a reasonable buy up to $20 or so but not one to load up on right before earnings (which were two weeks ago), reported pretty tepid earnings and forecast no immediate skyrocketing growth this year … that helped to keep a lid on the stock, down under […]
Just as I catch up on some of the favorite stocks in the Gumshoe universe at least once each year, so too I need to check in with all of our watchlist companies — but first, a trade to note for you: Among the non-watchlist stocks that I own or have covered recently, I’m tempted […]
Some more stocks from our list of speculative ideas to run through today, let’s jump right in with a look at Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND) and Invensense (INVN), two of the faster-growing stocks I’ve covered that are seeing rapid change, and do a quick check-in on some other tech-related stocks in our speculation list that haven’t […]
The Motley Fool gets more coverage here at Stock Gumshoe than pretty much any other newsletter publisher, with the possible exception of Stansberry — partly because the Fool has had some very good picks over the years, and partly because they have one of the biggest email lists around and they push a lot of […]
It’s been an interesting week here in the Land of Gumshoe — Just this morning I’ve been patting myself on the back for suggesting that Africa Oil was a good deal again in the $7s a couple months ago (they just announced yet another oil find today, putting the shares up over $10 for the […]
I’ve got a whole passel of things to comment on for you today — I want to update my thoughts on some insurance company stocks that I own and that I touted as beneficiaries of a big switch in the insurance market over the past year or so, check in on a buy and a […]
We brought you Myron Martin’s latest column for the Irregulars this morning, which included some new ideas in the junior resource stock space — that’s not where I prefer to invest most of the time, but I know a lot of you like those kinds of stocks so hopefully you find his musings to be […]
There’s been quite a bit going on in the companies that I follow both personally and for the Irregulars, so I want to check in on a few of these today — I’ll be taking at least a quick look at Sandstorm Metals and Sandstorm Gold, Invensense, Xerox, and maybe some other stuff will leak […]
There have been more than a few ads that talk about the “end of OPEC” — from the “Eagle Diesel” pitches made by Frank Curzio for the natural gas-driven transportation revolution, to the more misguided love affairs with geothermal energy in years past, but this one is a bit different … and, for a change, […]
This month I have two stocks that are really catching my attention: one that I’ve held for many years and think is one of the most solid and steady companies you can buy, at a nice value right now; and one that caught my eye following a teaser writeup I did a couple weeks back, […]
Man oh man, nothing beats learning about a deep, dark secret that the fat cats won’t share with you — am I right? That is, at least, the idea behind the promos for WSD Insider that a few of you have been sending my way lately — they’re all about “Penny cap” stocks that will […]
