“If you thought mountains of wealth were made in the Bakken, then check this out… “A strange side effect of this oil boom is set to pay out even MORE regardless of how oil prices move…And there’s one company I’m particularly excited about.” That’s the intro to the latest ad from Keith Kohl for his […]

The Investorplace Media folks have gotten awfully quiet lately — I haven’t seen many over-the-top pitches from Louis Navellier or Hilary Kramer of late, and other big promisers like Robert Hsu and Nancy Zambell have moved on or shut down their letters. But over the last couple of days I’ve been getting questions about the […]
Early on in the teaser ad for his Unconventional Wealth newsletter, Andrew Snyder tells us that he’s discovered an investment so mysterious and profitable that he had to make up words to describe it … like “reverse mining” — here’s how he puts it: “If you’ve never heard of reverse mining, you’re not alone. I […]
Natural gas has to be the least favorite commodity in the United States right now — it’s dirt cheap even after it recovered from recent lows below two dollars, local communities in some areas are harrumphing about earthquakes and water pollution in the areas where hydrofracking is producing this cheap gas, and the gas developers […]
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 […]
We haven’t covered the 12% Letter in these pages for a few months, if memory serves, so I was pleased to get several questions from readers about their latest teaser for the “secret retirement legacy” that’s apparently been offered up by George Bush (the dumber one, not the older one). Did I just type that […]
People love high dividends. No matter what else is being teased and touted, it seems, the ones that get forwarded to me en masse are the emails touting the high-yielding MLPs, trusts, REITs or plain old dividend-focused stocks that pay out unusually high amounts of cash every month or every quarter … and it’s hard […]
Now that even Jim Cramer won’t shut up about Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) as a safer, high-yield, non-euro-exposed investment, perhaps we’ve “jumped the shark” on this investment? It’s always hard to tell — popular investments can always get more popular. But one thing’s for sure, Roger Conrad’s been talking up MLPs for quite a bit […]
Well, the copywriters over the Motley Fool seem to have been working overtime to churn out ads for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor … so I guess the lights will stay on late into the night at Gumshoe HQ, too. What is it they’re pitching now, and why does it have so many of my […]
You can always count on a good story from a Phase 1 teaser — Phase 1 is the fancy top-of-the-line upgrade newsletter from Stansberry & Associates ($5,000/year, though it’s usually “on sale” for $3,000 when they’re promoting it as they are now), currently edited by Frank Curzio, and it has historically focused on lots of […]
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 […]
Frank Curzio is tantalizing us to subscribe to his Penny Stock Specialist newsletter (Stansberry & Assoc.) by teasing about a few penny stocks in the shale gas business — but of course, that’s not enough, there has to be a huge back story as well. And the story this time, should you choose to sit […]
This is the latest teaser ad from Brian Hicks for his $20 Trillion Report, which teases us about a new idea in fracking technology that will release more oil and gas with lower environmental costs … all you have to do to learn about his favorite small cap oil stock is to subscribe to his […]
[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 […]
This is a fun one to start off the week with — Christian DeHaemer, who writes the Crisis and Opportunity newsletter that got us all so gaga over Mongolia early this year has a new pick to tease for us that he calls “God’s Chosen Investment” (that Mongolian oil push continues, by the way, my […]
Here’s the pitch for the ad I’m looking at this morning: “At the equivalent of $1.50 per gallon, the ‘fuel of the future’ is over 50% cheaper than diesel. And it’s many times safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly… “But what only a few people know — the rich, connected people, like Pickens and Soros […]
This is a fun, classic teaser — all about a huge oil rush that’s taking place under our noses, without getting a lot of press. And better yet, it keys on a particular man who acts behind the scenes as one of the leaders of the new revolution in horizontal drilling and fracturing, but of […]
I haven’t written much about the folks from the White Cap Report, which seems basically to be just a relatively low cost “small growth stock” newsletter … but the ad that a reader forwarded last night caught my attention. Like the Matt Badiali teaser we looked at a yesterday this one is also targeted at […]
Today’s ad comes rolling in from Zachary Scheidt for his New Growth Investor newsletter from Taipan, trumpeting the huge profits to come from the secretive “Back Mountain Covenant” that will allow Europe to break the Russian chokehold on natural gas. The teaser ad is a long one, of course — “short and sweet” rarely plays […]
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 […]
Peter Schiff’s newsletter for his Euro Pacific Capital brokerage firm usually includes a couple “teaser” picks — of course, to get the name of the stock you’ve got to talk to one of his brokers. And what is the job of a broker? To sell you something, naturally … so if you don’t feel like […]
Here’s the lead to this latest ad: “$21,750* of YOUR Money Is Locked Inside the ‘Gulf Coast Vaults’ “So are the unclaimed fortunes of thousands of other Americans. But only the first 1,000 people who respond to this letter will get the FREE mandatory access code required to claim their cash. Secure your share below […]
“Why gamble on long shots when you can secure steady 9%, 10%, and 18% payouts? “Thanks to an obscure 1987 tax reform, the 3 energy companies you’ll read about below are legally required to hand you supercharged cash payouts on a regular basis — no matter what happens to the price of oil and gas. […]
“You most probably use this every day… but you can’t see, smell or touch it … “To the naked eye, this product is no more than thin air – so it might surprise you to learn that you could make money from it… really good money… “You see, this “invisible” product could soon be Australia’s […]
“Some smart Americans have begun collecting checks from a little-known government-guaranteed gas rebate program. And they’ll continue receiving payments until 2011. Now you can join them…. Simply put your name on the list below to claim your ‘Gas Rebate’ checks ($400-plus every month!) starting with the next payout … New York Times reports that Americans ‘are making significant amounts of money’ from this gas rebate program”
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 […]
Louis Navellier believes that our wildly entertaining presidential candidates have at least one thing in common: Their administrations will both push for the kinds of policy changes that will make one particular stock shoot for the stars. Not bad, eh? I’ve seen dozens of emails about preparing for President McCain, or panicking about President Obama, […]
Aha! You think for a moment that the Gumshoe has returned from vacation early to jump on a hot new stock tip … but you’re wrong, my friend. I’m still not here, but my ethereal presence is calmly posting a rerun of a stock we snooped out many months ago, with a few new notes […]
I won’t be able to give this one the full Gumshoe treatment today, but it seems to me that every adult American received Louis Navellier’s latest advertising email over the last day or two … so I thought you’d like to know the company he’s teasing. The ad is for a company that works to […]
I haven’t looked at an investment teaser from Christian DeHaemer’s Crisis Trader in a while, but he usually has some interesting ones — he wrote to us late last year about lifting the blockade in the gunboat basin, and for some of his other newsletters he spun tales of a secret nickel project in the […]
This delightful ad has clearly graced many an inbox over the past few days — I know I’ve gotten it about a dozen times myself, not to mention the hundreds of Gumshoe readers who have also been kind enough to send it along. OK, dozens. Still. So the marketing push is on … … but, […]
This teaser came in a couple weeks ago, and a few readers have sent in suggestions about the possible solutions, so I thought a lovely Spring weekend here in Washington, D.C. would be the perfect time to take a gander at Andrew Mickey’s teaser … and lordy me, it’s a long one. At least three […]
This teaser comes in from a newsletter I haven’t looked at before, the Virtual Investing Club from Shane Rawlings. It’s all about a special report about Peak Natural Gas, and the likely skyrocketing price of gas from the current range of $7-10/mcf to $30 by the end of the decade. The end of the decade […]
We’re getting a little bit off the beaten path here — this one was sent to me by a few British readers, though with the enthusiasm that I’ve seen from many of my readers for new energy technology companies I thought there might be some broader interest. The teaser (it’s here if you want to […]
Certainly you don’t need me to tell you that energy stocks of all kinds are hot investments, and have been for a couple years. After all, a couple excitable traders even pushed oil up to $100 a barrel for a few minutes today, so I’m sure we can write tomorrow’s headlines right now. You’ll even […]
This one comes in from Andrew Mickey’s Breakaway Investor — we’ve seen a few of his ideas in the past, with mixed results. Not surprising, since a lot of the companies he likes are very small and make for some volatile investing at times. And it’s a good story, whether or not you end up […]
This one came in from a reader, and unfortunately it took me a week or so to get to it … it has climbed 20% already, though if the teaser copy is accurate who knows where it will go. This is from Andrew Mickey at Breakaway Investor, who we’ve heard from before a few times. […]
I’m a little surprised that of all the email lists I’m on I didn’t get this email … thankfully, a reader did and sent it in for me to review. This is an ad for Philip Durell’s Inside Value newsletter over at the Motley Fool, and the big tease is that you can subscribe to […]
