Here’s what got some Gumshoe readers’ attention in the latest ad from Cabot Small Cap Confidential: “The $1.3 billion medical device company I’m about to name will soon be an $80 stock that you must snap up today for $38. “The stock jumped 146% in the last 12 months and is set to double again […]
Odd rolls of the dice here at Gumshoe HQ have led to three different Cabot teaser pitches being covered in a relatively short period of time… this one is an insurance stock, and it has generated quite a few questions from the “teaser article” Cabot sent around saying this secret, unnamed stock is the one […]
I was intrigued when I saw an ad from Timothy Lutts at Cabot about their “Next Netflix” stock, pitched as the next opportunity for a $600,000 windfall. Who doesn’t want that, right? That windfall figure refers to their recommendation of Netflix in May, 2002 — they say that $5,000 in NFLX then would have turned […]
This little spiel caught my eye because Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) are in the headlines as a possible beneficiary of the next wave of healthcare reform — with plenty of early indications, at the least, that the Republican party’s “repeal and replace” strategy for the Affordable Care Act will rely to some degree on an […]
I got a few requests to take a look at the “better restaurant stock” that Timothy Lutts of Cabot alluded to in his recent article about Chipotle (CMG), and one of those readers pointed out that one of the other stocks that Cabot has been teasing, LeMaitre Vascular (LMAT), “has been looking good” … so […]
This ad caught the eye of several readers, and it’s a slight variation on an ad that I first solved for the Irregulars back in June — so I thought I’d give it a quick once-over and see if we’re still talking about the same stock. So, my dear Irregulars (those are our paid members, […]
Despite the fact that the “developing” world continues to grow much more quickly than the huge established economies of Europe, Japan and North America, investors are still largely reluctant to invest in emerging markets these days. That’s understandable, for sure — when the media is telling you to be worried, and when the US dollar […]
The “stock of the month” email teasers from Cabot follow a bit of a formula, but they also sometimes point us to interesting stocks… so we’re going to take a quick look at this latest ad, which I started seeing about a week ago, and see what Timothy Lutts and the Cabot folks are pitching […]
The Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter from Timothy Lutts is one of those “best of” newsletters — its goal is to identify the best pick each month from among all of the newsletters published by Cabot. Which sounds lovely, right? Why would you want anything but the best stock, why even consider subscribing to […]
Last week I started looking into Cabot Market Letter’s pitch about their latest portfolio moves, including a buy of Harman (HAR) that has already jumped almost five percent since we looked at it back on Thursday (not that we or Cabot probably had anything to do with that jump) … … and I told you […]
This article first ran on September 15, 2014, when almost exactly the same ad was sent around teasing Cabot’s September “Stock of the Month” … … now, in February, they’re just calling it the “Top Stock of the Month.” Not much in the ad has changed, and the stock is about 10% cheaper now than […]
Now that Apple is a few weeks from the release of their next i-device, lots of teasers will come floating out about “better than Apple” or “buy this before Apple’s new iPhone” or the like. That’s a pattern we’ve seen ever since the original iPhone sent shares of suppliers soaring — or, indeed, even before […]
The “best of” newsletters have not been generating a lot of marketing buzz in recent months, but many publishers have them and they’ve been a reliable way to get “entry level” subscribers to try out their products — in the hopes that some of those subscribers will then upgrade to their specialized, more expensive letters. […]
The folks at Cabot publish several newsletters, but the one they most typically use for teasing “hot” new picks is the Cabot Stock of the Month letter, which is one of the fairly common “intro level” letters that choose a top idea from among all the publisher’s other letters to share each month. And since […]
Like several other newsletter families, Cabot runs a relatively low-cost service that culls picks from all of their newsletters and picks a monthly favorite — the service is called the Cabot Stock of the Month Report, and they typically tease it with their “double your money guarantee.” (That guarantee is not terribly different from the […]
Weekly stock picks culled from other Cabot newsletters, mostly growth-focused.
The folks at Cabot are unabashed fans of growth and momentum, which can certainly work as an investment strategy even if it isn’t the strategy I tend to follow personally … the market loves businesses that are growing, and that love turns into higher prices if the growth builds on itself, even if the stocks […]
Cabot’s Stock of the Month service is not unlike the entry-level “sampler” newsletters offered by a lot of publishers — in this service they pick their favorite stock from among all of the stocks recommended by their stable of newsletters for that particular month … and in Cabot’s case, they tend to promise that the […]
I thought we might be done for the year … but before we turn out the lights here at Gumshoe HQ for our Christmas week vacation, I couldn’t resist sharing one last teaser tidbit for you — after all, if you’re thinking about what to do with your money next year, what could be better […]
The Cabot folks have apparently taken a liking to the “double your money this year” promise as their version of a “money back guarantee” — no, they don’t make up the difference, but they promise you a refund if the pick doesn’t double. A better deal than most newsletters as far as refund policy goes […]
I haven’t written about one of the profligate predictions from the Cabot crowd in a while, so the headline about “double your money in 2011 guaranteed” caught my eye. The pitch for their “secret” idea is in an ad for their Cabot Stock of the Month newsletter, which they use to pick ideas from one […]
Today we’ve got a bit of a teaser email from Timothy Lutts over at Cabot, for their Small-Cap Confidential newsletter. It’s got an interesting pitch with this “femtocell” business — he leads in by telling us how frustrated he is with dropped calls on AT&T near his home in Massachusetts thanks to the overtaxed network […]
Timothy Lutts doesn’t often send out really over-the-top out teaser ads, so I don’t often write about the various newsletters from Cabot — I do hear about them from time to time, and readers have reviewed a few of the services, but they haven’t yet bombarded us with “super hype” as so many other publishers […]
