We haven’t looked at a “free money!” teaser in a while, so when readers asked about this one I figured I should check it out — it’s another one that’s all about “loopholes” and “bonus cash” and “signing up to qualify” or “putting your name on a list”… which means that in all likelihood this […]

Personal Finance ($39 for the first year) is a relative low cost “entry level” investment newsletter, the kind that all the big publishers use to recruit the wave of new subscribers who get fed into their marketing “funnel” that generates leads for their higher-priced services… though, to be fair, we also often hear from readers […]
Today we’ve got another ridiculous promise, made to sell you a subscription to a very expensive and nonrefundable newsletter — sound familiar? This time it’s Jim Pearce advertising Investing Daily’s Radical Wealth Aliance, which will run you $2,495 (“on sale” from $5,000) with no hope of a refund (they offer the “if you don’t like […]
This article originally ran on October 25, the ad is again circulating in slightly different form and sending a lot of questions our way, so we’re re-publishing it here for you today… the basic spiel and the stock are still the same, though they’re being used to pitch a different newsletter. The stock has bumped […]
This article originally appeared on September 14, when the teaser pitch was circulating with a September 15 “deadline” to get your “extra $1,003 a month in benefits.” We’re getting a lot of questions about it again, so we’re republishing this article… other than the move to a December 15 “deadline,” the ad appears unchanged (and […]
This article originally appeared on January 24, 2017. It has not been updated. This ad has generated quite a few questions from Gumshoe readers, and I’ll agree that it sounds pretty enticing (of course, almost all ads do — that’s why they work so well!)… here’s part of the Jim Pearce email that gets the […]
Today we’ve got a teaser pitch for a low-priced tech stock to dig into for you — the ad is for a relatively new “back end” newsletter from Jim Pearce at Investing Daily called Breakthrough Technology Profits (not to be confused with Breakthrough Technology Alert, which is an Agora publication). Breakthrough Technology Profits will set […]
Premium-priced tech stock advisory that aims to find “unique opportunities hidden in the nooks and crannies of Silicon Valley.” Launched Spring of 2016 by Jim Pearce, who also runs the generalist Personal Finance for Investing Daily.
This article originally ran on May 24, 2016, when we were in the midst of a run on virtual reality teaser pitches that had lasted for months. Apparently the ad is running again and this older article has been difficult for readers to track down, because we’re getting lots and lots of questions about it […]
We’ve seen quite a few ads from Jim Pearce at Personal Finance about his favorite “self driving cars” idea, so it’s time to feed the Thinkolator and get some answers for you, dear Gumshoe readers. The basic backdrop for this is, of course, pretty well known — cars are becoming smarter and smarter, self-driving cars […]
Today we’re releasing an old Friday File for all of our free readers (and as a reminder for any Irregulars who missed it the first time around) — this ad has been running off and on for a long time, but we covered it on July 10 and the article below is not updated. The […]
So far this year, one pundit’s pitch for the “top technology stock of 2015” has worked out well (that was Navellier’s tout of MEI back in January) — so perhaps that inspired a few readers to send a different pundit’s take on the same prognostication my way. Jim Pearce is pitching Investing Daily’s newish Smart […]
Investment advisory focusing on technology trends, they say they’re looking for “growth and income from the utility stocks of the future.”
