For those who’ve been paying attention, we finally got the expected official Dataram/US Gold name/ticker change…. it’s now U.S. Gold Corp, an the ticker is now USAU. The stock is not moving at the moment, which makes sense — I’d guess that the highest probability near-term news is a secondary offering, which would be negative… […]

Today I’ve got a couple notes to share with you — this first one is an update on several holdings in my portfolio, and after the market close this evening I’ll be sending you a more in-depth look at the gold-related positions in my portfolio, along with a new stock I’ve added to the portfolio […]
Lots of news on companies in my Real Money Portfolio this week, so I’ll try to keep it fairly brief and share my updated thoughts on a bunch of them. Here goes! Shopify (SHOP), the e-commerce service provider that has been so aggressively pushed by the Motley Fool over the past year, released another fantastic […]
We’re closing in on the end of my annual navel-gazing exercise in portfolio review, and today it’s time to look at the “income” stocks in my portfolio. During the week next week I’ll catch up with a few smaller positions that don’t fit into the neat sectors I’ve divvied up thus far, like Disney, for […]
The market is down hard over these past couple weeks, thanks to worries about relatively steep valuations, the likelihood of an interest rate hike from the Fed next month and, much more than anything else, a full-on panic about the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency that would, one fears, bring an almost endless stream […]
This ad caught my eye, because Nathan Slaughter (or his ad copywriter) is doing the same thing a lot of newsletter pundits do: Comparing apples to oranges in trying to give the impression that there’s some “secret” alternative to social security that save your retirement. (There is the old “secret” alternative, of course, it’s called […]
The latest ad from Dr. David Eifrig for his Income Intelligence service (published by Stansberry) makes it seem like there’s something secretive and amazing happening that will boost your portfolio… and it’s happening immediately and on a specific date (September 16). So what is it? Here’s the intro to the ad: “Last year, two of […]
I won’t be able to post our regularly-scheduled Friday File for you this week, since I’ll be preparing for my ride this weekend (thanks again to the many of you who have sponsored me!), and Stock Gumshoe will be very quiet next week because I’ll be on vacation with my family (and recuperating, I imagine), […]
Today I’m breaking up our Friday File into two segments, which many of you have noted that you prefer — one part is a teaser pitch solution, the other is an update on a few stocks that I own and/or have suggested to the Irregulars. The teaser pitch is a look into Cabot’s “Stock of […]
Barron’s came out with a note about Medical Properties Trust (MPW) over the weekend, and I was wondering if it would spur some profit-taking in the stock… doesn’t appear to have happened yet, the stock is down slightly after the open but is more or less in line with the other healthcare REITs. Here’s what […]
This week we don’t have a new teaser solution for your Friday File pleasure, so I’ll stick with some updates on a few stocks I’ve been watching this week… and next week, we’ll get our “Idea of the Month” piece up for you. And we also have a new piece from Dr. KSS up today, […]
As we enter mid-February and a slow week in Gumshoeland next week, I’ve got a few personal buys of stocks that we’ve mentioned before, and a new “Idea of the Month” candidate that’s maybe not quite ready to buy just yet (we’ll be closed on Monday, and will probably publish less than usual during the […]
Each year I go through all of the stocks that I either own personally or have brought to the attention of the Irregulars (there’s quite a bit of overlap on those lists), and I make sure to update my thoughts and opinion on that stock in an organized and, hopefully, disciplined way — that helps […]
This is getting a little tiresome, no? Two new stop loss trades in my personal portfolio to tell you about — I sold half of my Lancashire Holdings position at $8.35 when that stop loss hit, my inclination would have been to buy more near these prices but, as I’ve been doing for six months […]
Before I get into a bunch of updates for companies I follow and/or own, with some good news and some bad news, I do have a quick teaser solution to toss on the fire for you… This one I got late today, and it’s from the Oxford Club’s Dave Fessler — he’s pitching his Oxford […]
I don’t have a compelling story to dig into today, so I’ll just share a couple updates and some of my thinking. Everything still seems to revolve around the Fed — will they raise rates? Will long-term rates get ahead of the Fed if they don’t? Will they have to try to find some new […]
Apparently Apple had some sort of news this week, and I guess the Federal Reserve is supposed to do something next week, eh? Well, there are thousands of market pundits who will tell you all about those things — and dozens who will tell you that the world is going to start coming to an […]
Maybe the scariest thing I can tell you is, “I’m not selling everything.” The drumbeat in my head continues to be one of worry, I continue to be a little bit surprised at how high stocks are going, and how resilient stocks are. But thankfully, I haven’t been acting on those macro worries — because […]
I have a few updates for you this week — there was a little bit of earnings news in the Gumshoe Universe, and I did a little rebalancing in my portfolio to get cash levels up in anticipation of future buying opportunities… but first, the latest pitch for Chris Versace’s Growth & Dividend Report caught […]
