May 12 Update: The lateset teaser pitch from the Fool is touting this same stock again, only with a different spiel from a different company as they tout the “connected car” instead of the “autonomous car”. I presume they’re just testing different ads to see what works best — this latest one pitches it as: […]

Unraveled: “Warren Buffett’s Worst Nightmare” pitch from the Motley Fool
We’ve had many questions from readers about this teaser spiel from the Motley Fool Stock Advisor letter, so we’re republishing an excerpt of the Friday File in which we solved that teaser. What follows originally appeared as a part of the Friday File on May 9, it has not been updated or revised — the […]

“How Neural Imprinting will wipe out pain and generate $2.86 trillion in new wealth”
The Money Map Press folks seem to have replaced Stansberry (both are Agora affiliates) in the position of “quickest to saturate the known universe with email ads” — the two they’ve been pushing this week, the solar spiel from Dr. Kent Moors that we talked about earlier in the week and this new “Neural Imprinting” […]

Basenese says: “Grab your VC Preferred shares before it’s too late…”
This ad from Louis Basenese for his VentureCap Strategist caught my eye, partly because it’s based on the same general trend as the pitch from Michael Robinson for his “Neural Imprinting” idea (and secret stock) a couple weeks ago. Of course, that one turned out to be a reasonable investment, but not an earth-shaking stock […]

Who are teased as the “Driveless Car Revolution” Winners?
Christian Dehaemer is pitching his Crisis and Opportunity newsletter ($499!) by talking up a “Ghost Town Showdown” that he says indicates we’re on the verge of seeing big profits for the suppliers in the “driverless car” business. So, naturally, we want to know what these “secret” stocks are — driverless cars have been teased before, […]

Agora’s “How You’ll Have Dinner with Shakespeare… Speak Any Language… Know Everything… And Live Forever!”
Ray Blanco is flogging his Technology Profits Confidential with an ad that promises “three companies almost no one knows about” in the virtual reality space — which, given the widespread interest among investors in virtual reality as the “next big thing,” means our interest is piqued. So what’s the idea? Well, first you have to […]

VentureCap Strategist’s “Safest and Smartest Way” to play the Virtual Reality Revolution
We’ve certainly seen our share of “next breakthrough” promises from Louis Basenese — he has worked for a variety of publishers (mostly under the Agora umbrella, I think) and is now promoting a service that he calls VentureCap Strategist, published by Wall Street Daily, and now he’s dangling his take on virtual reality in front […]

“Virtual Reality Motion Sensing and Computing Power… These Two Companies are Giants in the Making – You Need to Own Them Today”
I covered the first virtual reality pick hyped by Ray Blanco a few weeks ago, but I forgot to follow up and dig into the second and third picks he was teasing in that ad… so when I saw a new version of the ad circulating over the weekend, with the attention-getting “hook” changed from […]

Friday File: “Cognitive Sight” examined, plus some updates
Happy Friday! I have a couple updates and notes for you today, but I thought I’d start with a look at a new teaser many of you have been asking about from Michael Robinson, it’s headlined “Cognitive Sight” and it’s really about artificial intelligence and it’s ability to make the blind see again (among many […]

Motley Fool’s “The 4 Stocks We Believe Are Poised To Dominate The Virtual Reality Market”
We haven’t seen many big new teaser ad pushes from the Motley Fool Stock Advisor lately. They did pretty aggressively promote David Gardner’s latest IPO recommendation over the past month or so (that was Match, we covered it here), but most of their ads have been reruns of pitches that we’ve seen and written about […]

What’s that “New ‘$39 Computer’ Hitting U.S. Markets?”
Bonner & Partners, which is yet another publisher subsidiary of Bill Bonner’s Agora empire, has a new teaser pitch out for Jeff Brown’s Exponential Tech Investor — and what caught the eye of Gumshoe readers was the headline, in the ad from Bonner’s Managing Director Amber Lee Mason, that promises huge gains from a “$39 […]

Friday File: Apple, Miners, Wanna-Buys and more
There’s not one “big thing” that jumps out at me this week to blather to you about for your Friday File edutainment, but I do have a smorgasbord of thinklinations to share… including a few “quickie” teaser solutions as we go along. First, for those who have been asking: Yes, I have now covered my […]

Stutman’s “Auto Crisis 2.0” Basket of Companies
The latest pitch from Jason Stutman for his Technology & Opportunity newsletter is all about the big changes happening in the auto industry — primarily the safety and self-driving innovations that are driving auto tech forward. The intro is, of course, much more attention-getting than my first paragraph above — this is how the ad […]

Motley Fool’s “Like Buying Apple Before the iPhone” Pitch
This ad caught my eye over the weekend, and it had enough clues that the Thinkolator started chugging along almost before I turned the switch this morning — so let’s dig in, and maybe we can even make it a little quicker than usual. The spiel is for the Motley Fool’s flagship Stock Advisor newsletter, […]

What’s “Neural Imprinting,” and will it really “wipe out pain and generate $2.86 trillion in new wealth?”
This article originally appeared as part of the Friday File for the Stock Gumshoe Irregulars (our paid members) on November 20, 2015. The article has not been updated or revised, other than a couple quick updates to numbers and valuations, but we’ve had questions about the ad of late, so we’re moving it back to […]
