For those who like brevity, I just posted a spreadsheet version of the Annual Review, with a very brief comment on each stock along with a “buy below” price for all of the stocks I own and the “stop loss” price (some of which disagree with each other, since I use human decisionmaking on top […]

Solving RiskHedge’s “Cyber Defense 7-Bagger” Teaser
Stephen McBride has been using this ad to market RiskHedge’s Disruption Investor (currently “on sale” for $99/yr) since last Fall, but readers have continued to ask about it and I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet — so when I started seeing it again this week, it seemed like time to dig […]

“Why The Coronavirus Collapse is Sending This Stock Soaring”
This is an update of a teaser solution from an older Friday File for everyone to read… I figure the Irregulars won’t be too upset, since the stock in question is up dramatically since this piece was published, but it’s still an interesting story — and a stock I own and would like to buy […]

Leeb’s “$26 Billion Treasure Trove 48 Miles North of the Arctic Circle” (Update)
I’m updating this quickie teaser solution for you today because we’re getting a LOT of questions about it over the past few days. The ad originally ran in mid-January and we published the first version of this article on January 20, but it is still circulating widely. The ad seems identical to the one we […]

Friday File: Panic in the time of Purell
It’s been an unusually active month in the Real Money Portfolio — a couple big sells, several brand new positions, and quite a bit more churn than I usually have. Those transactions have mostly been fairly small, the largest position that I opened or closed was the sale of my sub-2% Facebook position, but that’s […]

De-Teasing “The Amazing Discovery Behind This Hill Could Be Worth $100 Billion”
Almost as soon as I posted my update to our teaser solution about Stephen Leeb’s big copper pitch last week, the questions started coming in about his other mining ad that’s been popping up with gold’s rise — the ad is for The Complete Investor, his entry-level newsletter over at Investing Daily ($39/yr), and the […]

Hodge’s pitch: “The first machine in the world that can detect this deadly virus on site is being rushed to market. “
This is the latest teaser pitch that a lot of folks have been asking about — and rightly so, I expect, because it’s designed to be extremely topical and get you revved up immediately. Here’s the intro to the ad that I’ve seen in some Angel Publishing newsletters: “We’re now in crisis mode over coronavirus […]

Friday File: Buying and Selling and Social Distancing
It’s been a wild week. The mood was still pretty upbeat on Monday and Tuesday, a little anxiety but a lot of complacency (including mine)… I was in Toronto early this week, with plenty of hand washing and hand sanitizer but no real signs of panic or changes in lifestyle for most folks — the […]

Wyatt’s picks for “Coronavirus Biotech Boom?”
Ian Wyatt has been out over the past couple weeks with some “webinars” in which he talks up the coronavirus outbreak (for an hour!) and then ends his show with a tease about several “special reports” on the stocks he thinks will make you a lot of money as we fight COVID-19… and, of course, […]

What’s Chris Wood’s 2,000% “SuperDisruptor” Born from a March 30 Merger?
I’ve been knocked out by a non-coronavirus illness for the past couple days, and I have to tell you, that’s probably the best thing that could have happened for my sanity — watching the stock tickers fly by and freaking out at the constant stream of COVID-19 news is not the best way to keep […]

Cabot’s “Apple of Cannabis”
Where might we find opportunities these days? Perhaps in the beaten-down marijuana sector? It’s awfully hard to say, since every sector is really “beaten down” this month, but let’s look at the latest pitch from Cabot Marijuana Investor ($497/yr), since they’ve been touting a hot idea that editor Timothy Lutts is calling the “Apple of […]

Is Amazon “Legally Obligated” to Pay You? What are these $48,000 “Prime Profits” teased by The Wealth Advisory?
ed. note: The first version of this article was originally published in September of 2018, when we initially saw these ads rolling. It has been re-circulated several times, most recently because of the attention Amazon is getting through the coronavirus outbreak, so readers are asking again and we’ve lightly updated this teaser solution. The answer […]

Friday File: Rethinking Coronavirus Impact for my Portfolio Companies (and adding a few)
Thank you for coming back and reading my musings week after week, we here at Stock Gumshoe would not exist if not for the attention and generosity of readers like you. I don’t say it enough, I’m sure, but I really appreciate you being with us… and having the patience to slog through these sometimes […]

Dividend.com’s “Global Retailer With 40+ Years of Dividend Growth” Tease
During these crazy market moves, a lot of us are keeping in the back of our mind a notion along the lines of, “hey, this might be the chance to buy something cheap… but it better be really, really good!” And for many of us, that means our minds drift to “blue chip” type stocks […]

What’s this “FINAL CHANCE To… Buy $1,600 ‘Tier 2 Gold’ For $8.10 Per Ounce?”
Today we’re taking a little side path into the gold markets, since gold has recently shown a little spike of enthusiasm following talk of bailouts, and we’ve gotten a bunch of questions about Gerardo Del Real’s “Tier 2 Gold” teaser pitch for Junior Mining Monthly ($99/yr). So what is he talking about? Well, like most […]

Mampilly’s “#1 Stock for 2020”— Latest emails say “$10 Stock Gets ‘All In’ Buy Alert on Coronavirus News”
A version of this article was published on January 13, 2020, when Mampilly’s ads first called this his “#1 Stock for 2020”, and though the ad is unchanged we’re seeing it a lot again now — most recently, the ads from Banyan Hill now say that this “$10 Stock Gets ‘All In’ Buy Alert on […]

DeHaemer’s “Next FAANG”— What are “The 4 MVPs of the Tap & Go Revolution?”
A version of this story first appeared on January 22, when we first saw Christian DeHaemer’s ad.

What’s Motley Fool’s “Netflix Killer” Stock?
I’ve had a bunch of new questions about this almost evergreen Motley Fool ad for their Stock Advisor service, so I thought I’d share some answers with you here — partly because this is a stock that I write about a lot for our paying members, since it’s a substantial part of my portfolio, but […]

Friday File: Gambling on Sports, Micro-Dosing on Stocks
I knew to buy like crazy last Friday morning, because people say that I am the SMARTEST INVESTOR IN THE WORLD. Woohoo! Oops, sorry, I forgot that I wasn’t selling myself with hype-filled puffery. That’s obviously not true, I did some buying last week and opened a few new positions that have done well so […]
