Alpha Contracts! That’s what’s being teased by the Agora Financial folks these days, all as part of a pitch for Zachary Scheidt’s Contract Income Alert. And they’ve been teased before, but I had a bunch of readers pile on with questions this week — probably thanks to that new “July 22” deadline — so I […]

A few weeks ago we covered a teaser pitch for the Irregulars in the Friday File, all about Zack Scheidt’s marijuana tease about an expected takeover for a tiny little Canadian pot stock… and today, as a bonus, we’re opening it up for all our regular readers. Not much has happened since then — the […]
Alpha Contracts! That’s what’s being teased by the Agora Financial folks these days, all as part of a pitch for Zachary Scheidt’s Contract Income Alert. We haven’t covered this particular letter before, but have covered a few income-oriented pitches by Zach Scheidt for his other letters over the years, mostly talking up dividend-paying stocks and […]
Monthly advisory that recommends the purchase of individual corporate bonds, often high yield “junk” bonds.
Hello, dearest Irregular friends! I’ve been spending part of my day working on our new “Ask A Stupid Question” project, but don’t worry, I wouldn’t forget about my favorite Friday File readers! So what’s up this week? There are a few minor updates in the Real Money Portfolio that I’ll get to at the end, […]
This article is excerpted from a Friday File that originally ran on July 6, it has been opened up to all readers now but has not been updated or revised. –from 7/6/17– As we’ve just recovered from the rocket’s red glare of Independence Day celebrations, how about we look at one of the more absurd […]
What’s going on in the world as I put “wheels up” for my family vacation and resolve to stop paying (much) attention to markets for ten days? Well, US gold American Eagle coins are reportedly selling at the slowest pace since 2007. The first six months of this year was the best for the tech-heavy […]
I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the “Cash from Gold” pitch out of Agora Financial that hints at how easy it is to get “instant income.” So that’s today’s focus for you, dear readers. The big push at the end of the ad is “Yes, I want to collect at least $1,500 per month […]
Options-selling newsletter from Zach Scheidt, offering weekly recommendations of options trades — advertised as selling put options.
This is the part of Zachary Scheidt’s recent ad that really caught my eye… and, no doubt, the eyes of many Gumshoe readers: “THANKS TO A LITTLE-KNOWN SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRACT… “YOU COULD GET FOUR DEPOSITS OF $1,720 OR MORE IN 2017… “FOR A TOTAL OF $6,880” That’s a pretty perfectly headlined ad — it plays […]
This ad has driven a lot of questions to the Gumshoe doorstep — the pitch is from Zachary Scheidt for his Lifetime Income Report, and it implies that we can get extra “benefits” by “piggybacking” on the Social Security plan of Canada. Really? Well, no. Not in the way you’re thinking. But if you have […]
April 15 is just 11 days away (actually, this year you’ve got until April 18 for your Federal returns — so you’ve got two whole weeks!) That means we’re in the home stretch for advertising copywriters, who only have a brief window remaining when they know you might be anxious about taxes or angry about […]
Well, turns out it’s the same as the old “Ten Hills Technique.” Too obscure a reference? It’s OK, not everyone has to remember the rivers of investment teasers that flow through the Thinkolator here at Stock Gumshoe, but this one did ring a bell. There used to be a publisher called Insiders Strategy Group (before […]
It isn’t necessarily easy to make money from broad demographic shifts, since they take time and are difficult to predict in a detailed way — but the move of the baby boom generation through the various stages of their life to now has had a momentous impact on almost every part of American life, from […]
Monthly newsletter on dividend-paying stocks and other income-generating strategies. Was briefly edited by Jim Nelson before Scheidt, publishers was previously called Insiders Strategy Group.
Weekly alert that says it looks for “cutting-edge opportunities… rare, exotic and mysterious opportunities that make hedge funds – and their clients – very rich.”
“When this controversial law takes effect on October 1, 2011… folks who act now could get ‘hedge fund rich’” That’s how Zachary Scheidt is launching his new service, called Hedge Fund Strategist from Taipan, a publisher in the Baltimore Agora-plex (Taipan is currently in the process of renaming itself “Insiders Strategy Group,” just to keep […]
This email started churning through the Gumshoe floodgates recently, a tease for Zachary Scheidt’s New Growth Investor, which we last looked at a couple months ago — the marketing for this letter says that they look for “stocks with bright futures ahead or a company with a new product set for maximum gains.” Which sounds […]
I left out the little asterisk in that headline — we’re also told that “your payment could be higher or lower than $4,000.” Which means, of course, that it could be zero … but still, let’s look into this odd headline and the teaser that follows it, and see if we can’t sniff out just […]
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 […]
Here’s how the headline reads for this latest teaser from the Taipan folks, for Zachary Scheidt’s New Growth Investor: “Urgent Gold Investing Alert: “President Obama Wants to Confiscate Your Gold “Buried deep inside the healthcare reform bill is a law that could set the stage for the federal government to take away ALL your gold. […]
“Can you really make 6,800%… 12,300%… and 13,900%… all in ONE DAY?” “WANTED “Bold Investors to Test-Drive New ‘Turbo Cap’ Niche Market “Help me prove it’s really possible to turn $5,000 into as much as $1.5 million in the next six months… and I’ll give you a FULL YEAR of our breakthrough new service, Taipan’s […]
Today’s ad comes rolling in from Zachary Scheidt for his New Growth Investor newsletter from Taipan, trumpeting the huge profits to come from the secretive “Back Mountain Covenant” that will allow Europe to break the Russian chokehold on natural gas. The teaser ad is a long one, of course — “short and sweet” rarely plays […]
There are two great things about being a marketing copywriter — first, if you put it in quotes, you can say almost anything … and second, there are already a thousand successful ideas out there, you don’t need to come up with a new one each time you’re looking for an angle. This time we’re […]
“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.
