Brian Tycango, who joined Stansberry a few years ago after recommending mostly Asian stocks for a long time in his own newsletter, is launching a service called Visionary Investor with teaser ads that are getting the attention of Gumshoe readers in recent days. At $49/yr, this is positioned as another “entry level” growth-focused newsletter, in […]

The first version of this teaser ad was “solved” here on April 23, 2020, when we first saw the ads from Paul Mampilly — most recently this has been more aggressively pitched with the idea of the “12 million mile battery,” so we’re re-posting our solution for you. The ad has changed a little and […]
I’ve gotten a lot of questions over the past couple days about a “urgent buy alert” from Michael Robinson, who’s teasing his Nexus-9 Network service ($1,250, no refunds) with a pitch about a little $2 stock that’s going to come public in the US sometime soon. And it comes with all the usual urgency and […]
Greatest Speculative Bubble Of All Time – Michael J. BurryFew days ago, he tweeted: “People always ask me what is going on in the markets. It is simple. Greatest Speculative Bubble of All Time in All Things. By two orders of magnitude. #FlyingPigs360” We all know he is shorting Tesla… Elon tweeted Tesla has diamond hands… It would be interesting having Travis analysis on […]
I’ve ended up with a portfolio that’s pretty heavily weighted in “growth” companies in recent years, but I always find myself a little more intrigued by “value investing” ideas — companies with real fundamental earnings power or undervalued assets that trade at a discount to their growth-ier peers. So when some readers sent in questions […]
Most of the pitches we’ve looked at from The Wealth Advisory over the past several years have been exaggerated income promises… like the “Prime Payouts” from Amazon or Pot Paydays that were supposed to generate $48,000 or $56,000 a year. This one is a bit different, though, much more of a “get in early on […]
I’ve been seeing this ad for a couple days now from Hilary Kramer, who is pitching her GameChangers newsletter ($77 for the first year) with a bold promise: “The 2,500-Mile Electric Car “Charges in minutes and you could drive it for months. “Hard to believe? You bet. “But it could be coming to a showroom […]
Is there a secret electric vehicle leader hiding in the Great White North? What’s up with this latest teaser pitch from Motley Fool Canada about an “under-the-radar Canadian disruptor?” Let’s check it out, shall we? The ad is for the Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor Canada service (offered at C$99/yr), which is the Canadian version of […]
Wondering if anyone knows the 6 tickers in this tease?
This latest teaser pitch from Nick Hodge for his Foundational Profits newsletter has gotten a lot of raised eyebrows and questions from the Gumshoe faithful — whatever is this “Amazon of Energy” idea, and is it real? As always, the answer is, “kinda” — so let’s look through the ad (they’re currently selling Foundational Profits, […]
Just saw this and would have expected more resulting VALE price action but maybe I’m missing something? https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/03/20013408/tesla-secures-long-term-supply-of-nickel-for-ev-batteries
Hi there any thoughts on what the stock is Jimmy Mengal The Crows Nest is pitching and whether the concept of Blue Gas taking over battery operated vehicles has legs?
I bought $1000 of TSLA at $85 for my kids college fund – he starts college 2029. Just put a trailing stop on it at 15%. Smart or dumb? I appreciate your thoughts.
Hi All. How do think this will effect TSLA and the semi conductor stocks? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55936011
Elon Musk is the King of Hype. This modern day P. T. BARNUM has brought his Circus to YOUR TOWN; and in doing so he intends to make you an integral part of his SKYROCKETING FUTURE! Green is the game as far as Elon Musk is concerned, but his “GREEN” comes from shares of the […]
Happy New Year! The fact that this week’s portfolio moves included a little stop loss selling and some nibbles in asset management, insurance and music royalties probably tells you all you need to know about how cautious I feel to start this year… though, as always, I try not to have my personal sentiment drive […]
This update was posted on November 24, we’re re-sharing it here because of a huge number of new reader questions. It has NOT been updated or revised since we last posted an update on 11/24/2020, when Ray Blanco reporposed the ad to use the new invented target date of January 20 to replace September 22. […]
This article was originally published on December 1, 2020, but we’re seeing new versions with different headlines and that “March 2021” deadline, so we’re re-publishing our comments below. What follows has not been updated or revised in the past month. Lou Basenese is pitching Elon Musk’s next big idea in ads for his Trend Trader […]
The intro to this ad came in an email promo from Christian DeHaemer, who writes other newsletters for Angel publishing… here’s the key part, about his communication from Jeff Siegel: “But back to Jeff… We were on a Zoom call yesterday and he was telling me about this solar company that is using a spray […]
I’ve written about a bunch of “pre-IPO” investments in the past, but Ian Wyatt has probably been more relentless than anyone else in promoting this idea of “buying in before it’s public” … particularly when it comes to the hot “brand names” that excite investors. Wyatt’s latest pitch is for a “webinar” that will air […]
This article was originally published on April 23, 2020, when we first saw the ads from Paul Mampilly — most recently this has been more aggressively pitched with the idea of the “12 million mile battery,” so we’re re-posting our solution for you. The ad has not changed and is still dated April 2020, and […]
Shall we stop for a moment to sing an early “Happy Birthday” for Warren Buffett? He will turn 90 on Sunday. And maybe another surge in Berkshire’s share price will get his fortune up to $90 billion before too long, fingers crossed on that (OK, probably not, he’s giving away his money so quickly that […]
This week brought yet another push-pull to the markets as investors attempt to figure out whether Lucy is going to pull the football away from Charlie Brown again in the China trade talks, but the narrative that struck me as most interesting on the week was the line that was drawn in the economy by […]
Today I’ve got a few portfolio moves to share with you that go against the Wall Street mantra (“sell your losers, let your winners run”)… last night I sold my position in Kweichow Moutai in China — this is a fantastic company, mostly because they have insanely high profit margins on their signature Moutai liquor… […]
The first version of this article ran way back on March 30, 2016, so it might look familiar to a lot of you — but a few folks asked about it today, and it looks like the ad is running again, still without much change to the spiel, so I’m re-publishing this teaser solution. I’ve […]
Lots to discuss this week, mostly because several Real Money Portfolio companies reported earnings… and because I added money to two positions this week, and brought a new company into the portfolio. Enjoy! Shopify (SHOP) had reasonable earnings when they came out, but “reasonable” isn’t enough for a high-growth momentum stock that’s trading at almost […]
What do I think? That’s what a lot of readers are asking during these volatile days… and there is, of course, no easy answer. My thoughts are all over the place, so today’s Friday File musings are going to run the gamut. Tesla (TSLA) is a good example of how the market is treating investors […]
The talk of trade war with China is bringing the idea of Chinese mineral dominance back to the pages of investment teaser ads… we’ve seen several in the last week or two that focus on rare earths, where China remains dominant and might have some extra negotiating leverage in trade disputes, and this latest pitch […]
Jason Stutman’s “upgrade” newsletter, The Cutting Edge ($1,499/yr), is out with a teaser campaign that promises you the chance at riches from “Charged Ore” … and, in fact, an actual sample of that ore itself as part of your subscription. So what is “Charged Ore,” and what’s this little Nebraska mine that Stutman thinks will […]
Christian DeHaemer is pushing an ad recently that focuses on a Tesla alternative, and his latest free email touted the appeal of buying it after this latest market shakeup. So what’s the story? The ad is for his Bubble and Bust Report, which sounds like an entry-level monthly stock picking newsletter ($49/year, compared to his […]
I like David Einhorn, though I don’t know him (at least as far as I know, he was a year or two ahead of me in school, at the same University and in the same major, so perhaps we shared a beer or a study session at some point), but someone has to remind him […]
I know a lot of my readers follow Paul Mampilly pretty ardently, partly because of the fact that his publisher, Banyan Hill, is one of the more aggressive promoters in newsletterdom these days, and partly because he made some very strong picks with his first, heavily promoted service — particularly the teased pick of STMicroelectronics […]
Several readers have asked me this week what “Dividend Superstations” are… so that’s the target for the Thinkolator today. The ad comes from Brett Owens for his Contrarian Income Report, which is usually sold as a service that looks for a “secure 8% ‘no withdrawal’ return” for retirement — an admirable goal, and not terribly […]
The latest Keith Kohl ad caught my eye, since I’ve been interested in cobalt for a while now and figured that “blue gold” probably means he’s teasing that metal … so what’s the story, is it cobalt he’s talking about, and what’s the cobalt-related investment that he thinks will make us 1,000%-type gains? Well, he […]
It’s been a long time since I looked at an Australian teaser pick, so this new pitch for the Motley Fool Australia’s Share Advisor (A$199/yr) caught my eye. The Motley Fool, well known as a US newsletter publisher and investment community/website in the 25 years or so since the Gardner brothers started their AOL chat […]
A few readers have asked about this recent Motley Fool Stock Advisor promotion, so I thought I’d take a quick look-see for you today… apropo for “Apple Week,” it was all about Apple’s next “secret project” and “3 stocks to buy before Apple unveils its next must-have product.” So what is it? Well, I’ll spare […]
Lots of questions rolling in about this one — it’s a pitch for Sean Brodrick’s Oxford Resource Explorer, which these days is offered at $79 a year (or $49 for email-only)… though the letter is actually signed by David Fessler, one of their analysts who has generally been touted as an energy and resource expert […]
Today we’ve got a pitch from Nicholas Vardy’s Alpha Investor Letter, and it is blissfully not about the election at all. Let’s all just breathe a sign of relief, “ahhhhhhhhh.” Soon, one hopes, every day will be like this moment. Here’s what caught my eye about this “personal invitation” from Nicholas Vardy: “Discover the Profit […]
Getting a bit of your usual Friday File commentary out on the early side this week, since I made a personal purchase that I thought might interest my favorite Irregulars. And by purchase I mean “dumb speculation,” really — I picked up some shares of a junior miner that’s way too small to take seriously, […]
This ad has been simply unavoidable over the last couple days, and we covered the “headline” stock that Moors says has its tentacles in everay aspect of solar energy in yesterday’s piece… but the teaser pitch from Energy Advantage says there are two other stocks to be bought as well. What are they? Well, time […]
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 […]
Michael Robinson is out with a pitch for a company that he thinks will profit as “Tesla’s silent partner” in “Operation Bluestar” — and, naturally, Gumshoe readers are just dying to know who it is. Without, of course, ponying up for a subscription to his Nova-X Report newsletter — though that is, apparently, Robinson’s “entry […]
These are my notes and instant reactions from a presentation at the Value Investing Congress, the notes below might contain errors, paraphrases, incorrect quotes, or misinterpretations. Zeke Ashton has presented at several of these conferences in the past and usually has interesting ideas. He runs Centaur Capital Partners, mostly a hedge fund guy but also […]
I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the latest pitch from Ian Wyatt for his $100K Portfolio newsletter — this is his letter that tracks the trades of a $100,000 real money portfolio of his own money, started up a couple years ago when every newsletter publisher was trying out a “real money” letter. I […]
Ian Wyatt is out with a new teaser promo for his $100K Portfolio service, and it’s all about a young company that’s growing rapidly and changing America in a substantial way … with a free new “highway” across the country. He pitches this secret stock using the same kind of language that several other growth-focused […]
This is the Friday File, our missive to our favorite members (yes, we mean “the people who pay us”), so we can be a bit more up front with you and not make you sit through the entire spiel (though we’ll give you a full spiel-look as well) … David Gardner is now aggressively touting […]
The Value Investing Congress is always fun, and I’ll be trying to learn plenty that I can share with you in the weeks ahead (and, hopefully, become a better investor myself in the process), but this year I decided to spend a bit more time in New York and take in the pre-Congress seminar as […]
I wrote about Hilary Kramer and her new(ish) GameChangers newsletter for the first time just a couple weeks ago — so it’s certainly too early to judge whether her teaser stocks tend to perform as she predicts (that pick, Metalico, is down about 10% from when I wrote about it … but I don’t hold […]
