Lynn tells me that a bunch of folks have been writing in with questions about this “5G Keystone” pitch int he past few days, so I’ll take a look. Here’s the lead-in from Dave Forest, who’s touting what he says is an 81-cent stock and pitching subscriptions to his International Speculator newsletter over at Casey […]

We saw a big recovery over the past week or so from those cyclical stocks that were hurt by coronavirus, as the excitement about reopening and vaccine development sends people out of direct beneficiaries of the outbreak like Teladoc (TDOC) and the stuck-at-home names and into the stocks that were most hurt by the shutdown. […]
This pretty well sums up the pitch from Dave Forest in recent ads for Casey’s International Speculator ($1,995/yr, no refunds): “I believe these three rare earth stocks are a “lock” to go up 60x over the next few months… turning $500 into $30,000… and $5,000 into $300,000. “Demand is soaring… “Supply is shrinking… “President Trump […]
This article was originally published on January 29, 2019, when we first saw these ads from Cabot. The ad is still running, with little to no changes or updates, and the article below has not been updated. When everyone’s worried about a trade war, look for the stocks that benefit from superpower rivalries… that’s a […]
Today we’ve got another “profit from the trade war pitch,” with Casey Research peddling a special report called “De-Fang the Red Dragon and Make 11X Your Money” as they troll for subscribers to Nick Giambruno’s Crisis Investing ($1,795 at the moment, no refunds… though you can transfer the sub to something else from Bonner, Palm […]
When the Trade War started heating up with China, you knew it would only be a matter of time before “rare earths” started coming into play again. These are the rare earth elements, sometimes called rare earth metals or rare earth magnets, that are way down the periodic table, often found in uranium mines, and […]
That’s the headline of the latest ad for the Oxford Club, which is teasing us with a special report on the “Black Ops Resource” and the huge wealth it will create for you and yours. And no, you can’t be cynical yet — it’s only January 5th, for pete’s sake! Let’s read the ad with […]
“The often overlooked or ignored details surrounding Rare Earths.”Having worked on a very detailed project covering Rare Earth deposits, production, manufacture, and end use for over two years, I am amazed at the touts who pitch various companies associated with Rare Earths as the next big investment opportunity. There are a number of reasons why the companies they mention by name will have […]
I hope you can forgive your friendly neighborhood Gumshoe for being a bit addle-brained, but I can’t seem to keep track in my head of the vast numbers of natural resources and commodities-focused newsletters that have sprung up (or been renamed) over the last year or two. I think this one is new, it’s called […]
Well, a week’s hiatus for your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe and the world remains in more or less the same mostly-negative feedback loop — more bank worries, more Euro panic, gold prices back above $1,900 again, more iPhone 5 hints and speculation … I guess part of me is relieved that the financial world is […]
“Asian Profit Play #3: “A Company About To Smash China’s Monopoly On Rare Earth Minerals. A Probable Triple!” I don’t know whether there’s something magic about a “triple” that makes Tony Sagami use it as his default promise for stock picks, but for some reason his latest ad that promised three Asian profit plays touted […]
Friday File articles, like “Idea of the Month” writeups, are generally password-protected for our paying members — this commentary was made available to all readers on October 7, 2011 but the content not been edited or revised since the original publication date. The author continues to not have any personal interest in the stocks mentioned […]
Rare earths mania among investors has hit extraordinary new heights over the last eight months or so, and I’ve written about almost all of the rare earth miners of any size at one point or another during that time. Most recently, the promotion that caught a lot of attention from my readers was from Byron […]
Well, we have here today another of those stinkin’ teaser ad “presentations” that doesn’t allow access direct to the transcript … so I’ve got to listen to the whole dang thing. Never doubt how much I love you, dear Gumshoe Faithful! Here’s the pitch from the Sovereign Society, from Jeff Opdyke (he’s teasing to tempt […]
I wrote quite a bit about one of the Greenland rare earths stocks earlier in the week, but I just wanted to clarify the situation in teaser-land a little bit today. There are two Greenland rare earth explorers that are being actively teased by big newsletter publishers right now — the one that uses the […]
This is a note about a teaser that you can probably solve yourself — and many of you doubtless have. And it’s also about a company I’ve written about before, about a year ago … but the questions are piling up and the enthusiasm behind this stock over the last week is a little ridiculous […]
Just from that headline, experienced investors and teaser-readers might well know that we’re looking today at rare earth minerals — you might also call them rare earths, rare earth magnets, rare earth elements or lanthanides (they’re usually pulled out of the period table and grouped separately on the bottom if you want the actual names […]
Well, I’ve gotten a big ‘ol boatload of questions about this ad from Robert Hsu, so let’s dig in. The teaser is for his Asia Edge newsletter, the expensive and somewhat more flexible letter that he edits — Hsu’s “entry level” newsletter is China Strategy, which focuses on US-listed ADRs of Chinese companies, but Asia […]
Dr. Stephen Leeb is jumping on the rare earths bandwagon, already crowded with newsletter pundits of every stripe, and promising that these “more precious than gold” elements will “outperform the hottest stocks.” The argument is a fairly basic one, and we’ve heard it many times: China controls most of the world’s supply of rare earth […]
We’ve looked at rare earth elements before (also called rare earth metals or minerals, and some of them are rare earth magnets), they’re a dozen different rare elements from the periodic table that have specific uses in lots of high tech gear, from batteries to missile guidance systems. China is widely credited with strategically undercutting […]
