Call me a cynic, but when I see a looooooong ad presentation about financial armageddon, I skip right through the stuff about collapse and anguish and falling standards of living and economic crisis, and look for what the ad copywriter is trying to sell. Because frankly, everyone knows there’s a debt bubble. Everyone knows that […]

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a teaser ad that says you can “collect a $X,000 payday” — and it’s obviously appealing, there aren’t many among us who don’t find their eyes drifting toward a headline like “$6,500 payday,” even if, like your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe, you light your cigars with $100 bills. OK, […]
Over the last several months we’ve seen several ads touting Steve Sjuggerud’s True Wealth Systems, which is apparently a big quantitative screening “supercomputer” that Steve subcontracted to some computer programmers — and which is supposed to identify investing anomalies that he can then write about to his subscribers, who then will profit. And I can’t […]
I Want Your Take Of The High Yielding NLYMy fear is of dollar collapse or (an hopefully temporary) currency crisis in which NLY goes from teen price to a single digit price. Is ”the U.S. dollar risk” also your opinion?
I haven’t written much, if at all, about Richard Band over the years, but he’s certainly a been a fixture in the investment newsletter landscape for quite a long time (I think the letters been running for 30 years or so) … so when I saw his latest teaser pitch I thought I oughtta give […]
OK, you can stop asking now — because we’re just about to finish up with our latest multi-part series, covering the “loopholes” from the “Black Market Income” teaser for Stansberry’s 12% Letter. This letter pitches the idea that they have a secret website that “Wall Street” doesn’t want you to see — all about how […]
I haven’t sniffed out much in the way of dividend-paying stocks or income strategies in recent weeks, so this latest teaser from the folks at Cabot caught my eye. It’s not really a tease for Cabot picks, but for the digested picks of the Dick Davis folks (Dick Davis Digest is a regular digest of […]
Bryan Perry is fairly active in teasing ideas to garner new subscribers for his Cash Machine newsletter (formerly called 25% Cash Machine before, one assumes, that promise got to be too much to bear), and some of them have been pretty nice high yielders over the years, so when the questions about his latest tease […]
I don’t write about Mark Skousen all that often, in part because he doesn’t regularly barrage us with detailed stock teasers … but I’ve had a lot of readers write in to ask me about this latest teaser ad for his Forecasts and Strategies newsletter, an ad in which he says his favorite stock kept […]
On this bright and sunny Spring day our thoughts turn … to Mark Skousen. He’s selling subscriptions to his Forecasts & Strategies newsletter, and his pitch is that he predicted the 1980s boom, and warned investors that corporate profits were peaking in early 2007 … and that he’s got the best ideas for you to […]
Investors always worry about the so-called “value trap,” a company that looks cheap but will forever remain cheap, luring investors in with a low PE ratio and miring them in the muck for years as they wait for others to see the “value” — sometimes we’ll also see “dividend traps,” where stocks entice investors with […]
Bitterness over the financial bailouts seems to have waned a bit, but there’s certainly a strong vein of anger to mine … and that’s exactly what copywriters are paid to do. This time, it’s in an ad for Jim Nelson’s Lifetime Income Report — and this is the investment idea he’s got for you: “This […]
The latest from Andrew Gordon: “GOVERNMENT BACKED… HIGHLY LIQUID… and 8 Times the Interest of a Typical Savings Account. It’s not only billionaires who are using the financial crisis to get ‘insider deals’…. Thousands of regular Americans are cashing in on a loophole for collecting up to $8,881 a month, backed by an ‘explicit’ U.S. Treasury guarantee…”
Well, here’s another teaser that appears to have been resurrected from the backfiles, for a government-created “economic security fund” that “could help you safely earn 180% or more over next 2 years.” The last time around, more or less the same teaser email, for Steve Sjuggerud’s service with Stansberry and Associates, went around with the […]
For those of you who haven’t been checking things out over at the Gumshoe Forum, I thought I’d call your attention to a little discussion of the latest teaser ad — from Stansberry, if memeory serves — for what is purported to be an “F-series” Government Bond that might yield 180%. I’ve participated in the […]
