How to Make Millions in Silver
We’d all love to bet the ranch on a sure thing, and who among has too much wealth set aside for their golden years? Because of the runaway government spending/deficits, as well as a plethora of unfunded liabilities from Social Security to Medicare, to the Pension Guarantee fund, and so much more… and now the […]
This week I’m seeing a new wave of questions about this Jim Rickards ad from Agora, and the ad itself has been (clumsily) updated a few times since we covered it back in November of 2017 (the last version with the “by March 19, 2019” deadline even suggested that Yellen was still President of the […]
I continue to get lots of questions about this Jim Rickards ad from Agora, and the ad itself has been (clumsily) updated a few times since we covered it back in November of 2017 (the latest “by March 19, 2019” ad even suggests that Yellen is still President of the Federal Reserve, and the date […]
GOLD, SILVER, COPPER, AND HARD ASSETS…2019
This is a late continuation of the predecessor thread titled: “Gold, Silver, and Hard Assets…FALL 2017”…from which, I quote: “Everyone makes mistakes and I make more than my share.” Well, I nailed that one. In 2018, overall my picks were not successful. Many of the mining speculations were duds. Plus the commodity price landscape was […]
This article was first published in late February, and was lightly updated in April, the last time the ad ran heavily — and now the ad is circulating again in mid-August, so I’ve made some slight updates again. What follows is mostly unchanged from 2/28. The price of the stock is also again close to […]
I don’t think I’ve ever written about David Morgan or his Morgan Report mining newsletter, so when a reader popped up to ask about a new pitch from him this week, I thought I’d take a quick look-see for you. This is going to be short, we’ve got the Thinkolator’s best answer but I haven’t […]
Late last week I started digging into a teaser from Sean Brodrick at Oxford Resource Explorer that promised “three supercharger plays” for the bull market in precious metals that he expects — and though I only “solved” the first teased stock that day I promised to follow up and catch up on the other two. […]
We see absurd hyperbole every day here at Stock Gumshoe, with promises of stocks that double or massive “free income” from various “top secret” trading strategies or… well, you know the drill, you get most of those same emails. So after swimming in this sea of hype for almost a decade, I sometimes forget just […]
It’s been an interesting week here in the Land of Gumshoe — Just this morning I’ve been patting myself on the back for suggesting that Africa Oil was a good deal again in the $7s a couple months ago (they just announced yet another oil find today, putting the shares up over $10 for the […]
“Shocking Investigation Reveals: “How a tiny handful of institutions (including a branch of the Chinese government) are creating the greatest resource opportunity in over 34 years… “Why thousands of unprepared investors could lose everything… “Three specific ways to make serious gains as the price of this substance jumps 550% over the next year.” That’s how […]
We’re rerunning this piece because it continues to be one of the most asked-for explanations on the Stock Gumshoe website. What follows below was originally published in mid-2012, it has been updated for the change in silver values but otherwise remains unchanged. Dr. David Eifrig over at Stansberry’s Retirement Millionaire newsletter has been teasing us […]
Almost every ad that refers to options in some oblique and secret way likes to throw in the fact that this is now a sector that is “regulated by the U.S. Government” … but it it “used to be illegal.” Which makes it sound both more exciting, and safer, than it is really is for […]
Well, and we also love you — of course. Just wanted to make sure you know that on this lovely Valentine’s Day. We are inundated every day with email ads that our loyal readers forward on to us, and we appreciate every one — we want to know who’s promising you 1,000% returns, or who’s […]
I’ve had quite a few readers write in to ask me about silver lately — there was a spurt of “silver will be better than gold” newsletter teasers over the Summer, and this latest pitch from the Insiders Strategy Group folks for their Macro Trader newsletter has been filling up the inbox … … so […]
Huh? Are the Canadian Maple Leaf silver coins going to suddenly become twice as valuable as the American Eagle silver coins? No, don’t worry, it’s not that simple and silver is still fungible, an ounce is an ounce is an ounce (well, a troy ounce, anyway). So what’s the idea of “Canadian silver” being somehow […]
When it comes to resource stocks, the way to get people excited is by saying that you can buy a massive stockpile of X (oil, silver, gold, lead, whatever) for a fraction of its real value. If you can make that kind of promise, you’ll get at least some investors excited … even if the […]
I’ve been blathering about my own investments in these Friday Files for a couple weeks now, but for today we’re going back to sniffing out teaser picks … in this case, a teaser pick for “Gold Fracking” that Frank Curzio has been sending out pretty aggressively for a couple days in pitches for his Small Stock […]
I don’t believe I’ve ever written about Dudley Baker and his Precious Metals Warrants subscription service, but several folks sent in his latest pitch for subscribers, and it has exactly the kind of teaser promise that we love to unravel, so I thought I’d have a look for you. Baker has been a warrants/options/futures trader […]
There’s something about using the atomic number for an element that makes you feel extra smart and exclusive, isn’t there? Or at least, that’s what I’m forced to conclude from the fact that most of the newsletter jockeys appear to delight in intriguing and mysterious references to the “fortune making” fourth element or the “battle […]
There are going to be a few folks who are frustrated with the navigator of the good ship Gumshoe today, because we’re again looking at an Australian newsletter teaser — and I’m guessing the stock will be tough to trade for US investors, if our past reveals of Diggers and Drillers picks are any indication. […]
It’s shaping up to be Ian Wyatt week here at Stock Gumshoe — yesterday I took a look at a veiled hint of a Polish natural gas stock, and today we’re looking at a tease that looks like it may have started a couple months back but has been recently re-invigorated (and I haven’t researched […]
Untold millions of readers (OK, not millions — in the tradition of the folks we write about every day, we’ll use quotes that enable us to make stuff up … so, untold “millions”) have been asking us about the “long-lost” treasure maps that are chatted up in Sean Broderick’s latest teaser for his Red-Hot Global […]
Since there was such a spirited discussion following our look at the “treasure map” of hoarders who can sell you bags of “treasure”, this latest teaser from Nicholas Vardy also caught my eye. Why? Well, because that “treasure map” bit was all about junk silver (old circulating silver currency), and the discussion was largely of […]
How can you find sacks of treasure located around 776 cities around the country? That’s the pitch from Retirement Millionaire from Stansberry & Associates — the ad, which is one of those good ol’ video ads that doesn’t happen to link to a text version, even includes a “treasure map” of those cities around the […]
If you’ve been treading the boards at the good ol’ Gumshoe Theater of Oddities for more than a few months, this teaser for silver may sound familiar to you: “How To Buy U.S. Government Created Silver For $2.08” The tease is an attempt to get you to sign up for Dr. David Eifrig’s Retirement Millionaire […]
I originally wrote about “Silver Shots” as teased by Zachary Scheidt for his Velocity Trader about a year and a half ago, but much has changed over that time and an extremely similar ad is running right now, so I thought I should give it another look. Here’s how the teaser sounds: “Silver Hits Critical […]
That headline sits atop a teaser ad that I started receiving on Tuesday this week from Tim Fields for his Untapped Wealth newsletter. Now, I should warn you up front that this newsletter has recommended some real doozies in the past, like that silly “forever battery,” and they’ve gotten involved in some stock promotion that […]
“The World’s Largest Silver Resource Base Has Now Become Attractively Priced” So goes the headline for Dr. Stephen Leeb’s new teaser ad — and he tells us that we should … “Buy now for stunning potential growth!” It’s no surprise that Leeb is a commodity booster — he got a lot of attention for peak […]
I looked at the crafty FR Y-9C teaser from Peter Krauth a couple weeks ago, when he was telling us that the big investment banks, particularly Goldman Sachs, were effectively manipulating the commodities markets. He teased an oil stock most aggressively in that ad (you can see that article here, along with the basics of […]
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 […]
Today’s holiday look is at a silver mining company with a mother lode strike in China … this time, the tease is from the Sound Profits newsletter by the Investors Daily Edge folks, and they would, of course, be delighted to have you subscribe to their newsletter to find out who this “Silver Striker” company […]
We haven’t taken a gander at any silver stocks in a while now, but the metal’s price is still holding up pretty well after a nice move of 50% or so from the summer lows, and the “poor man’s gold” is getting plenty of attention as an inflation hedge, an industrial metal, and a possible […]
I usually reserve my new articles for the Irregulars on Fridays and publish them in the Friday File — and I’ll be doing that, too, when I do my more detailed writeup today. But I’ve had a bunch of folks ask me about this silver-buying program from Eric Roseman at The Sovereign Society, so I […]
Luke Burgess, who I don’t believe I’ve written about in the past couple years, is pitching his Hard Money Millionaire advisory by saying he’s found the next Silver Standard Resources (SSRI). He starts out by essentially saying that he’s following the big money — he noticed which institutions were heavily invested in SSRI, which saw […]
This ad sounds a little bit like a very popular one we looked at a few months back — then, it was for $1 “Silver Shots”, and it was a teaser for a leveraged derivative trade on silver futures (or, in plainer speak, it was for long-term call options on the SLV ETF). If you […]
Today’s look is at a stock that I actually haven’t seen teased very heavily, and I haven’t received the ads directly yet, but I have gotten dozens of questions from readers about it … so here goes. It looks like the teaser must have been in the S&A Digest, which is the “free” weekly report […]
Well, the gold price seems to be recovering slightly this morning after a few days of backtracking once it got close to the $1,000 level again … so it’s time to look at another gold ad, no? Today’s feature is an ad for the Big Gold service from Casey Research, edited by Jeff Clark (there […]
“Silver Hits Critical Levels – U.S. Mint Halts Production of Silver Coins “New Gov’t-Regulated $1 “Silver Shots” Poised to Skyrocket 12,785% “Forget about silver coins, ETFs and silver mining stocks. New $1 “silver shots” give you a very real opportunity to turn $10,000 into $1.3 million by year’s end. “But you must act by June […]
I’ve seen this particular ad a few times in the last week or so, and I know that there are many folks out there in Gumshoe Land with a yen for silver, so I thought it deserved a few minutes of consideration. The ad is for a special report from the Oxford Club — sounds […]
“After 98 years of secrecy, the greatest economic conspiracy in history is finally unfolding.” “Learn how you could turn $5,000 into $100,000 (or more) by 2009 with this safe and simple profit/protection plan…” That’s how this latest ad opens, with the threat that the 98-year-old “Jeckyl Island Project” economic conspiracy will ruin your retirement — […]
This is a teaser that has been around before, but the whole lead and urgent emotional appeal have changed quite a bit — so I thought it worthy of some comment. This is for Greg McCoach’s Insider Alert … and they want you to be very afraid (“afraid” is particularly good for precious metals investors). […]
This one comes in from Greg McCoach, who edits the pretty popular Mining Speculator, and I’m always interested to hear about what he’s touting — especially since McCoach currently holds the top spot in the Gumshoe Spreadsheet with his pick of Duluth Mining. This pick is apparently for a new service of his, Insider Alert, […]
I’ve had countless readers send me notes about this one, so I thought I should write something … but I regret to inform you that I don’t think it’s possible to be certain of a solution on this one without “cheating” and actually seeing the newsletter. So that can be the Gumshoe’s challenge to you […]
