Today we’re looking for yet another “magic metal” stock, this time it’s teased by Matt Badiali for his Real Wealth Strategist newsletter over at Banyan Hill… and it’s all about this magical “green rock” that has some kind of virus-killing power, so the marketers are really highlighting the COVID-19 angle. Here’s a little of the […]
Articles
Green Rock, the ultimate anti elementVideo article by Matt Badiali discussing a green rock capable of killing bacteria, viruses and cancer. The article is teasing a mining discovery of 4.5 billion tons located 3000 feet below the ground surface. There will be dramatic increased demand used in many applications from vehicles, medical and public applications, basically used almost everywhere.
This ad is an odd one, to be sure… it is essentially identical to an ad that was circulated in the Spring of 2017 about this “magic metal”, with Matt Badiali at the time claiming that the metal was rising in price, was about to skyrocket and provide a chance at 3,000% returns, and be […]
This latest ad for Matt Badiali’s Real Wealth Strategist has all the stuff I love to see in a teaser pitch… a secret undisclosed location, a mysterious leadership team, a huge “you’ll make a fortune” promise as the company “unlocks a tidal wave of wealth,” and, even better, the combination of two hot ticket investing […]
This teaser solution was originally published in late January, but we’re seeing the ad pushed more again now and are getting more questions so I updated this piece to provide some more information and check in on the company. Matt Badiali has been pitching an “Infinite Oil” company in recent weeks in ads for his […]
Before you get sucked into reading more of my blather, take a moment and read the Wall Street Journal if you’ve got a copy nearby or an online subscription — not the whole thing, but read Christopher Mims’ column The World Isn’t as Bad as Your Wired Brain Tells You. It’s an unusually brief and […]
This article was originally published in February, the ad is recirculating with minor updates (mostly that the “deadline” is now April 1, versus previous versions that cited January 1 or February 1), so we’re re-sharing this piece to help answer continuing reader questions. What appears below has not been updated since 2/7/18. I’m sure quite […]
Monthly “entry level” natural resources advisory from Matt Badiali, who previously edited the similar Resource Report for Stansberry.
This week a pitch from Matt Badiali got me to thinking — it came in as a free article with a little “cross-selling” pitch from another Stansberry publication, Retirement Millionaire, and it sounded a little bit familiar… so I thought we’d start with that today and see where it takes us. The intro from David […]
This is all going to sound at least somewhat familiar — the Stansberry folks are sending around a teaser ad that cites Hillary Clinton’s huge non-government earnings on her tax returns, and tells us that through the miracle of “Mainz Income” we can all make money using this same technique. It’s familiar because it’s been […]
Huh? Are the Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins going to suddenly become twice as valuable as the American Eagle silver coins? No, don’t worry, it’s not that simple and silver is still fungible, an ounce is an ounce is an ounce (well, a troy ounce, anyway). So what’s the idea of “Canadian silver” being somehow […]
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 […]
Matt Badiali edits the S&A Resource Report, which is an “entry level” (ie, less than $100 a year) newsletter that’s currently “on sale” for $39, and his latest pitch for new members has caught the attention of many of the folks in Gumshoe Nation. He’s pitching something he calls “Secret Gold Societies” … and if […]
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 […]
I wrote recently about the teaser for Matt Badiali’s S&A Resource Report that pitched “the end of Silver” as the world runs out of that metal and prices are forecast (by him, at least) to skyrocket. But in that same teaser ad there was a brief hint about Badiali’s Yukon gold stocks, and so readers […]
There’s something about using the atomic number for an element that makes you feel extra smart and exclusive, isn’t there? Or at least, that’s what I’m forced to conclude from the fact that most of the newsletter jockeys appear to delight in intriguing and mysterious references to the “fortune making” fourth element or the “battle […]
Small cap resource stock picking letter, mostly Canadian juniors.
Before the Friday spiel begins, I do want to quickly thank you for the great response to our survey of a few days ago — we’re in the very first stages of upgrading and improving StockGumshoe.com, with a new version of the site hopefully ready to launch by the end of the Summer, and your […]
If you’ve been a citizen of Gumshoe Nation for more than a year or so, this latest teaser from Matt Badiali for his S&A Resource Report might sound a bit familiar, it’s all about buying Chinese gold miners because of China’s voracious appetite for gold — and because these particular miners have the state’s backing. […]
After several years of touting (and sometimes teasing) microcap mining stocks for subscribers of Stansberry’s super-expensive Phase 1 newsletter, Matt Badiali is launching a new letter that focuses on these small stocks, picks that he says are too small and volatile for his inexpensive S&A Resource Report letter. This letter is called the S&A Junior […]
[The “Mainz” Teaser Term has been used several times, click here for the most recent articles] Today it’s finally time to get around to what has probably been the most-requested teaser ad of the last few weeks — if you haven’t seen it, it comes in under several different headlines all comparing this “Mainz” income […]
Now this is a pitch: “Everyone knows gold is a great investment. Since 2000, it’s gone from $275 to $1,250 an ounce. “But what if I told you there’s a special type of investment out there that’s not only beaten gold over the past decade but has practically destroyed every asset class on the market […]
Lots of questions rolling in from the Gumshoe faithful about this ad today — it’s a teaser from Matt Badiali and his S&A Resource Report, and it’s all about the massive oil shale resources in China, and how to profit from them. Here’s how the pitch begins: “World’s Largest Oil Shale Field Discovered… in China? […]
I can only go so long without writing about another gold teaser — so my deepest apologies if you’re just plain sick of the yellow shiny stuff. While I was traveling last week my mailbox filled up with questions about the “Golden Triangle” teaser, which is all about some of the small gold miners who […]
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 […]
Matt Badiali runs the S&A Resource Report newsletter, which recommends mostly energy and commodity stocks. The teases he uses to promote his newsletter are usually pretty compelling and hyperbolic, and from what we’ve heard at Stock Gumshoe Reviews his letter is one of the favorites in the commodity space, so I always like to take […]
There were any number of teasers I could have chosen to get back in the swing of things after vacation, but this one from Matt Badiali was forwarded to me more than any other over the last week or so, and it seemed a reasonable place to start. Like so many of the great teaser […]
A large number of readers have sent in copies of the latest tease for Matt Badiali’s gold stock picks — Matt is the editor of the S&A Resource Report, a pretty popular but inexpensive (and therefore large) oil and commodities newsletter, but this time he’s sharing his picks only with the subscribers of Phase 1 […]
I was on track to write something else this morning, but the deluge of emails and the mysterious name drew my attention to the “Illinois Project” teaser … think what you like about Stansberry & Associates, but they’ve certainly got some of the more creative copywriters churning out their tasty treats for the Gumshoe. So […]
This article was originally published on the members-only Irregulars site on July 31, 2009, it is being reproduced here but has not been updated or significantly revised. Now that Matt Badiali’s S&A Oil Report has renamed itself the S&A Resource Report, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he’s looking not just at the energy companies […]
Late last week I wrote about a new teaser from the Phase 1 newsletter at Stansberry & Associates — as far as these things go it’s actually a relatively low-hype, fact-based teaser ad, since there’s a pretty big fundamental argument in favor of anyone who can profit from Iraq’s oil reserves (as well as lots […]
Today’s look is at a stock that I actually haven’t seen teased very heavily, and I haven’t received the ads directly yet, but I have gotten dozens of questions from readers about it … so here goes. It looks like the teaser must have been in the S&A Digest, which is the “free” weekly report […]
So … if you’re breathing, and you can read, and you’ve ever subscribed to any investment service or resource of any kind, you’ve probably seen this ad. My readers have wildly varying opinions of Stansberry & Associates and their newsletters, but one thing is certain: They know how to get the word out. And the […]
This newsletter focuses on commodity-related stocks, including other natural resources beyond just oil. Edited by Matt Badiali for many years before being taken over by Flavious Smith in 2017.
If you’re on the email lists for Stansberry or Agora or a half dozen other investment newsletter publishers, you’ve probably seen this ad — it’s for the S&A Oil Report, and it tells us that, for a wee subscription fee, the editor of that newsletter will tell us the secret that he didn’t tell Brian […]
This one is from Matt Badiali at the S&A Oil Report, which we’ve seen a few times already. It teases a couple little companies, but first starts us out with a long-winded teaser about the idea of investing in penny oil stocks. That’s really all the “Colorado Oil Jackpot” is — the concept that in […]
OK, here’s one that’s causing a massive wave of Gumshoe email — I guess the Stansberry & Associates email servers are heating up again now that oil looks to be solidly above $100. This one is for an oil sands play, as you might imagine, but (if you read through the pages and pages of […]
Kind of seems like the folks at Stansberry are testing to see whether the term “Filthy Rich” works well in their email campaigns, this is the second one I’ve seen of late (the other was for “My British Uncle Albert’s Filthy Rich Retirement Secret…”). But that’s neither here nor there. We apparently have an opportunity […]
This teaser comes in from the folks at Stansberry’s Phase 1 Investor service, which is their uber-expensive $5,000 subscription newsletter that purports to find the best opportunities in the smallest stocks. They have developed what they call the L-2 Indicator that tells them when to buy stocks, in this case gold stocks: “the ‘L-2 Indicator’ […]
That’s the mysterious tagline of a recent email I got from the S&A Gold Report from Matt Badiali. He’s teasing us with the name of his favorite commodity penny stock, all we have to do is start a subscription for $99 … … or, read on, and listen to your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe for free. […]
Greetings, fearless readers. No big new sleuthing project today, but I will share a couple solutions from readers that I haven’t been able to write up in full: 1) There’s a teaser going around from Matt Badiali that’s called “Fraser’s Legacy,” for S&A’s Gold Report, which discusses four ‘Prospect Generators.’ The report is called, “How […]
This one comes to us from Stansberry & Associates, as so many of them do, and is an ad for The Oil Report from Matt Badiali ($99 a year, last time I checked). He’s got a great opening, as usual: “Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil […]
This is yet another junior mining company investment, and the tease comes to us from Matt Badiali at the Stansberry & Associates (S&A) Gold Report. The suggested solution came to me from a reader who wanted to remain anonymous, and it looks to me as though he was correct. Some newsletters just do a more […]
