Here comes the dividend! OK, it’s not that exciting — but, as we’ve talked about quite a bit in the past year, Altius Minerals (ALS.TO, ATUSF) yesterday announced that they will now start paying a dividend. It’s what I would call a “token” dividend, really just a signal of their interest in repaying shareholders for […]

Before I get churning with this week’s Friday File, I want to take the opportunity to thank you, the Irregulars — and particularly the several new members we’ve had join up as Irregulars in the last few weeks — welcome to the club! Stock Gumshoe has always tried to balance how we do things, offering […]
On days like today, I don’t have to spend much time deciding which of the dozens of teaser pitches we receive to cover — it’s unanimous, Gumshoe readers are crying out for a solution to the latest pitch from Dr. Kent Moors. Moors is an energy expert and Duquesne professor, and he sells the expertise […]
Just a quick note that a holding I almost never mention, a Swedish closed-end investment fund called Vostok Nafta that was designed to invest in Russian companies, has been sold. It was not a particularly successful investment, I bought it before the collapse of the Russian market and hedged it with put options on the […]
Harvey Sawikin is a Russia-focused investor, one of the few who has been consistently invested in Russia since it opened to foreign investors, and his suggestion is to buy Gazprom Neft (GAZ in London, GZPFY on the pink sheets), a Gazprom subsidiary that’s a better (and less liquid) value than its parent. It’s cheap partly […]
OK, there’s two statements that really caught the eye of Gumshoe readers in this latest teaser pitch from the Oxford Club — first, that they say it’s the “most profitable energy company in the world” … and second, that they say it will triple by the end of the year thanks to a “shocking announcement.” […]
I don’t generally “pick on” the same newsletter two days in a row … but, well, the folks at Motley Fool Rule Breakers are filling up the e-waves with their ads, Gumshoe readers are pleading for answers, and we aim to please. So today we’re sniffing out the pick that the Foolies tell us we […]
Due to some unexpected schedule conflicts we’re running a previously published article today — what follows is excerpted from the Friday File (our weekly note to paying members) of April 29. The article has not been updated or revised, and the stock teased is down a few percent (though it did also pay a dividend […]
That may well be damning with faint praise — saying that you’ve got the most undervalued oil company these days is not all that much better than saying you’ve picked the highest-dividend subprime lender, it’s a sector that many folks don’t want to touch. But we continue to burn oil — I drive pretty much […]
Greetings from the road, everyone — my time is limited today so I’m sharing a very interesting comment that a reader sent in … we’ll call him Carlo. Carlo looked into Louis Navellier’s recent history with the formerly highflying Russian steel (and coal) stock, Mechel (MTL). This was also a Robert Hsu pick for a […]
We’ve run across Yiannis Mostrous and his Silk Road Investor a few times before — and one of the companies he’s teasing us about today I’ve even written about before. But there’s some new stuff here, so perhaps it’s worth a look. Silk Road Investor is one of many newsletters that focus on Asia writ […]
OK, I don’t think I’ve ever had to resort to three or four different articles to cover a single teaser ad (at least, not since Stansberry’s “Secret Societies” teaser last Fall), so I hope this third writeup will be the charm for us all, and we’ll not speak again of Andrew Mickey’s Putin-icious masterpiece. The […]
This one comes in from Agora, selling us Christopher Hancock’s Free Market Investor. Hancock is fairly new on the scene, but I have been intrigued by the one other idea of his that I sleuthed out several months ago (back then he was selling the “Secret Pension Payout Plan.”) You’ll also see this teased as […]
