Informative, honest, insightful and free

This guy guesses what is being promoted on so many of the newsletter teases. He guesses based on all of the clues given by the tease. He is very accurate with his guesses. They are usually verified by his readers who often subscribe to the newsletters doing the tease.

This guy not only picks what is being promoted, but he does his only analysis of the pick and why it might be good or bad. He is very analytical. He has no biasis towards any particular kinds of investments or newsletters/investment advice/investment letters. He also allows his readers to freely post their comments of his analysis and post their own guesses.

It is a great and open forum that sheds a lot of light on the industry and the picks.

Great for investigating investment "teasors" - saves $'s

Review by: agandautreasuresalvor



How often have you, as an investor, had "teasor" offers come to your attention on your e-Mail? Before doing any investing, I urge you to FIRST use the Stock Gumshoe to review all new "investment" TEASORS. The Stock Gumshoe can save you big money on touted "valuable" investment advice of popular investment personalities.

Always worth checking out the Stock Gumshoe, before paying substantial money for purported valuable investment advice of an investment writer. Stock Gumshoe fills a void where investment teasors are involved! With an overall rating of 1-10, Gumshoe rates a 10 plus. I love the Gumshoes informative reviews and have saved myself a ton of money to actually invest where it is really worthwhile.

Sound advice, as a seasoned investor. is to thoroughly check out the Stock Gumshoe first before deciding to commit any personal funds to a touted investment newsletter brought to your attention on your e-Mail. A word to the wise is sufficient!

Tells you what stock investment newsletters are touting

First, he has a nice self-deprecating sense of humor, so his articles are amusing. Second, he does his homework. Third, he is honest about his own view of the touted stock. And ... it's free! What's not to like?

Great entertaining website

Great free website. Travis scans through teasers from various investment newsletters and discovers stocks that are being promoted. Stock Gumshoe does not suggest buying those stocks, so use your own judgment.

Travis also offers premium service, Stock Gumshoe Irregulars, where for small fee he gives access to the Idea of the Month articles and his own portfolio. Try the free site first, if you like his style, sign up for Irregulars.

Detailed Research

This site does a nice job of inspecting the claims of stock promotion sites and newsletters. He is often able to get to the bottom of what stocks the write is promoting, thereby saving you the money of buying the news letter.

In general these articles have a bunch of stock ideas and analysis that you might find useful when looking for new stocks.

A nice overview is available here:

Stock Detective

I've been reading stock gumshoe for a year or so now and its value hasn't dropped at all to me. I like reading the research that he puts into finding the mailers and it is very thorough research with some history sprinkled in for good measure. I've altered the way I look at different mailers just because of reading his reports.

I don't think I've ever found a play off of reading this site but it is definitely educational and worth a few minutes of your time to check out.

Vigilante for his service

Travis loves cutting through all the B.S. that is penny stock promotion and gets down to the nitty gritty of what these companies are really up to. He never endorses the companies he investigates and for good reason as I am sure most he sees fail miserably. He charges a small fee, but a man has to eat somehow. We need a few more Travis Johnsons' in the world and not just for exposing penny stocks but all stocks.

Great mystery solver but not much value

All of us at one time or another have read a fluffy newsletter headline describing the next big Microsoft or Google, only to find out that one needs to subscribe in order to discover the company name. Stockgumshoe takes the guessing game away and reveals the "blockbuster stock" through his clever research while perhaps saving people from potentially unwarranted subscriptions. Any astute investor/trader knows to stay away from the vast majority of these hyped up newsletters and shady stock picks. I don't see much value in researching the newsletter picks which is the main focus of this website.
