Technology – Stock Gumshoe

James Altucher gives me a headache, but I guess that’s part of his brand as he uses his ‘wild and crazy entrepreneur who eschews convention but hobnobs with insiders’ image to sell his newsletters and books — for a while I felt like I was seeing his bobbing, wild-haired head in my dreams, trying to […]

We can’t step away from the marijuana hype for too long, I guess — the newsletter marketing world is still awash in the skunk weed, as they have been around every election cycle over the past several years… and the firing of the marijuana sector’s favorite villain, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will probably only serve […]

There was an election on Tuesday, I hear. I voted. The counting is almost over now. Apparently the world did not end, and now we begin the campaign for the next election… everyone raise their hand who wants to vote for austerity and deficit reduction and lower spending and higher taxes and delayed Social Security […]

The hook of Tyler Laundon’s ad for his Cabot Small-Cap Confidential newsletter is a 1,290% gain over the next three years… “When your grandchildren ask you how you turned nearly every $10,000 you invested in 2018 into $129,000 in just three years, I want you to be able to say, quite simply: Cabot Small-Cap Confidential.” And […]

The ad that caught my eye this morning was for Keith Kohl’s Energy Investor… who wouldn’t want to daydream about 1,587% gains while they’re planning their holiday shopping? Maybe we can get a Rolex for each kid! Everyone gets a new car! Woohoo! Ahem. Sorry. Got a little ahead of myself. What is it that […]

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 […]

The Motley Fool is pitching its Stock Advisor Canada service lately with a tease that refers to Amazon’s “Project Vesta” … and it’s all about some Toronto-listed stock that apparently is about to beat Amazon at something. “Beating Amazon” is one of those stories that appeals to everyone, of course — we all want to […]

This is the little ad snippet that sent me down a rabbit hole today: “The $10 Company at the Center of a Revolution: It’s inked four deals with huge players in its sector, and it’s holding the keys to a potential global product. Click here to learn more…” It led to an ad titled “The […]

I wrote on Monday about a Motley Fool Canada pitch for an Artificial Intelligence stock, and that tease pointed at one of two smallish tech companies from Canada’s Silicon Valley (Waterloo, Ontario)… I speculated that it was likely OpenText (OTEX) that Stock Advisor Canada was hinting at, given the clues dropped, but today we’ve got […]

This article was originally published on October 18, 2018, we’re re-sharing it here because a new variant with a new headline is driving a lot of questions our way… Koyfman is now apparently taking advantage of the fact that Tesla’s in the news again by teasing this as a new spiel that starts out: “Tesla […]

I haven’t written about this particular ad, but I have seen it circulating over the past couple months… and the questions keep rolling in, so I guess the ad’s still in pretty heavy rotation and it’s time to get some answers for you. The pitch is for Jeff Brown’s The Near Future Report ($99/yr “on […]

We’ve got a new pitch from Jason Stutman’s Techology & Opportunity to take a gander at, and it’s another of those “three parters” that pitches a few different stocks as a play on a theme… so I’m going to try to be economical with the verbiage and get to all of ’em before you lose […]

It’s the beginning of the year, and that means we’re going to see lots and lots of “top stock for 2019” pitches — so, naturally, your friendly neighborhood Stock Gumshoe will be trying to solve ’em for you. There are two that caught my eye this Monday morning, the first was Alexander Green’s “No. 1 […]

We seem to be on a bit of a dividend kick this week, with the “Extreme Dividends” of Monday leading to the “Secret 6.1% Stock” yesterday, so it seems natural to stock with it… plus, readers have been asking about Mark Skousen’s latest teaser pitch, and we haven’t covered him in a while. So that’s […]

“Forever battery,” “Jesus battery,” the “holy grail” of energy storage… those are all terms we’ve heard thrown around before, and in this instance they’re used by Matt McCall in service of his new pitch for his Investment Opportunities newsletter ($49/year for the “basic” version). And like other advances in batteries, of course, he thinks there’s […]

The “Trade War” is getting real, and the higher prices imposed by governments in China and the US. Tariffs are just import taxes, paid eventually by the customer, so they raise prices… which, our economist friends will tell us, suppresses demand… and since the higher price is going to a tax, not to a company, […]

There’s no beating around the bush with this one — Jeff Yastine is telling us he has found the “inconspicuous” $20 stock, from a company that “is one of the most powerful yet unknown technology providers on the planet”… and that you can turn $10,000 into a million bucks by buying into his idea. All […]

The promise in Dave Forest’s ad for Casey’s International Speculator ($1,995, no refunds) is pretty monumental — he implies that one little company is on the verge of cornering the supply for a critical battery metal, and that this is keeping Elon Musk up at night. Here’s a little piece of the spiel: “Is Elon […]

The latest ad pitch from the Stansberry folks, a marketing letter/presentation that’s urging you to subscribe to Stansberry Innovations Report ($49/yr at the moment), tells us that… “This Tiny Firm Could Tip the Scales in… The Battle to Save the Internet” So you can leave your subtlety by the back door today. What is this […]

Today we’ve got another spiel from the Motley Fool Canada to check out, all about a “next Netflix” opportunity… so what is it that they’re hinting at? Let’s start with a little look at the ad — here’s the intro that caught our readers’ eyes: “Discover Why Jeff Bezos is Dumping $970 Million into a […]
