Today I’m working on a stock of questions I’ve gotten about the latest pitch for Tim Bohen’s Penny Stock Letter ($79/yr). The teaser ad carries an April 2020 signature line, and most of the copies of it that I’ve seen were forwarded our way during the past two weeks. And the stock is apparently tiny […]

What are teased as Wyatt’s “Five All-American Stocks for the 5G Revolution?”
This ad from Ian Wyatt has been running for a little while, with some apparent variation, but he keeps aggressively re-pushing it as a “new” webinar, so our readers keep asking about it, and I haven’t covered the tease yet… so that’s our project for today. What are those top five stocks he keeps teasing? […]

Michael Robinson’s “ONLY Solution” for COVID-19
We haven’t covered a coronavirus stock for a little while now, so I guess it’s time to get back on that horse — Michael Robinson is pitching his rebranded Nexus-9 Network (which used to be called Radical Technology Profits) by promising that he has found “the ONLY solution” for the coronavirus crisis in the form […]

Friday File: A New Gambling Client, Quarters from KEYS and OKTA, and a 5G Check-in
We saw a big recovery over the past week or so from those cyclical stocks that were hurt by coronavirus, as the excitement about reopening and vaccine development sends people out of direct beneficiaries of the outbreak like Teladoc (TDOC) and the stuck-at-home names and into the stocks that were most hurt by the shutdown.

What’s this “Apple-Fi” Business from Ray Blanco?
The inbox is overflowing with story requests today, but we’re going to start things off with the most-requested teaser pitch of the last few days, Ray Blanco’s “Apple Fi” ad for Technology Profits Confidential ($49/yr). At first I thought this was just another rewording of his older “Halo-Fi” pitch, which was about the OneWeb satellite […]

Ferris’“Why Now is the Time” #1 Recommendation
This is a reveal of a secret that probably isn’t secret for most of you at this point, but I’ve been asked by many folks to chime in… so I’ll give it a shot. Dan Ferris is selling his Extreme Value newsletter with a long spiel that looks like it was only sent out to […]

Cannabis Venture Syndicate
This is an “upgrade” service from the Money Map Press/National Institute of Cannabis Investors publishing group, promising “a brand-new research service dedicated to bringing average investors four to six private investment deals over the next 12 months,” things like lightly regulated Regulation A and “crowdfunding” deals as well as those restricted to accredited investors.

What’s that “$2 Billion Cannabis Deal About to Go Down on the Las Vegas Strip?”
This ad has generated some discussion and a few questions on the site, so I thought I’d help to go through it for you and check on the company being teased — even though it’s not actually a publicly traded stock at the moment. The ad is from the National Institute of Cannabis Investors, which […]

RiskHedge’s “Next Big Thing to Change Computing”
This recent ad from Stephen McBride for RiskHedge’s Disruption Investor ($99/yr) gets our attention with a popular image that’s both been widely used as a meme and cited as an example in AI presentations… I don’t know who owns the image at this point, but I’ve seen it so many times across the web that […]

Friday File: Pot Real Estate, Clouds and a Cautionary Tale
Let’s start with a reminder this week that will lead me into a bit of blatheration (feel free to skip ahead to the first ****, this might veer into sanctimonious lecturing): Don’t double down with your retirement money. Taking extra investing risks might be appropriate for some folks who don’t have enough exposure to equities […]

“It Stops Viruses!” Matt Badiali teases that we can “Cash in on the Massive Profit Potential of This Miraculous Green Rock”
Today we’re looking for yet another “magic metal” stock, this time it’s teased by Matt Badiali for his Real Wealth Strategist newsletter over at Banyan Hill… and it’s all about this magical “green rock” that has some kind of virus-killing power, so the marketers are really highlighting the COVID-19 angle. Here’s a little of the […]

JR Butts ad says “A major Wall Street ‘slipup’ means you can buy stock in a little-known satellite company at a price as much as 20X below its real value”
This article was originally published in February 21, 2020. We’re still getting questions about it, the ad is still running and appears unchanged, and what follows has been lightly updated. This is from an email I received from J.R. Butts, pointing at a teaser ad from StreetAuthority for his entry-level Top Stock Advisor newsletter ($39 […]

Poulos sez: “Coronavirus ‘Stimulus’ Bill Could Thrust This $9 Stock Into The Stratosphere”
Today’s teaser ad that we’ll be feeding to the Thinkolator is for Bill Poulos’ Premium Income Alert ($1,997/year) from Profits Run, and it’s a doozy, funneling two hype-filled trends into one stock idea. Premium Income Alert is not a service we’ve looked at before, but it’s billed as a “weekly trading service” (the “upgrade” option […]

Friday File: The Relative Safety of Agencies
The plan for today? Figure out what other name might be associated with Nikola Tesla, and use it as the name for a new-age company. Venture funding should flow without regard to merit, and you might just be able to go straight to an IPO and buy that private island. Nikola (NKLA) is taken, thanks […]

Is Amazon “Legally Obligated” to Pay You on June 15? 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 I’ve updated my look at these stocks. The […]

Sleuthing out RiskHedge’s “Amazon Killer”
This ad is a few weeks old now, so my apologies for not getting to it sooner (or ID’ing the stock at a better price, frankly), but it’s still an interesting story and I’m still getting questions, so let’s dig in. The pitch is for Disruption Investor ($99/yr), Stephen McBride’s “entry level” newsletter for RiskHedge […]

Is Bezos Buying “The #1 Penny Stock of 2020?” Paradigm…“It holds the $8.18 Trillion Cure to Man’s Biggest Problem”
A version of this article was originally published on October 21, 2019, but the ad continues to circulate and generate new questions so we have updated it to address any changes over the past six months. Hard to believe that the major publishers didn’t already have something called The Penny Stock Letter, but this is […]

Personal Finances teases, “Are You Owed An Extra $1,569 A Month in ‘Benefits’?”
We haven’t looked at a “free money!” teaser in a while, so when readers asked about this one I figured I should check it out — it’s another one that’s all about “loopholes” and “bonus cash” and “signing up to qualify” or “putting your name on a list”… which means that in all likelihood this […]

Friday File: A New Arbitrage, More Gambling, Royalties for the Watchlist, and Bubble Thoughts
If my limited interactions with the outside world are any indication, I’d say we’ve gotten to the “cab driver” period that institutional investors often talk about: When your cab driver starts giving you stock tips, the top is probably near. That’s not a reliable predictor, of course, and I guess it would be Uber drivers […]
