Dont Miss This!

The blog at Stock Gumshoe is devoted to taking the descriptive teases found in ads for stock picking newsletters or the so called news articles from some sites that are nothing more than a come-on for their services and figuring out what hidden stock is being touted.

This helps me greatly with my online trading research. Any edge that saves me time is welcome and valued.

Good Job TJ

The Stock Gumshoe carefully studies the "teasers"and spam that everyone always receive and determines which particular stock or option or speculative idea the spammer proposes to reveal. Johnson is a good writer and funny too.

He rarely endorses any of the touted companies that he finds, which is against his ethics.

Exposing stock spam teasers... one review at a time!!!!

Travis is AWSOME. I don't know how he does it, but i'm glad he does. You just have to check this site out for yourself to understand what i mean.

When i recieve some ridiculous teaser in my email like "This stock set to skyrocket 20,000% in the next month".... bla bla bla.... and they want you to sign up for their expensive service to find out what it is, you simply go to stock gumshoe. Chances are he's solved it.... tell's you what it is.... gives you his take on it.... and has a spreadsheet that has tracked how all the other pics they have in their service... have done.... for FREE.

Incredible service. A great compliment to investimonials for doing your research.

Honest Filter of Spam

Gumshoe is pretty straightforward

he looks at touted material he either receives or has sent to him by his readers and verifies the various claims they make.

if it's teaser, he tries to deduce what investment it is and see if it matches. Usually he's pretty right.

most of what he finds is somewhat defensible embellishment but sometimes he finds outright misrepresentation.
He has a low priced pay service but the free stuff is all you really need and is mercifully not in your face about it. It's a win/win either way for readers.

He is pretty dry about it so don't expect a comedy show even though some of what he reviews if pretty funny by itself.

if you have any doubts about a promotion you receive he is a very good resource to check.

Travis is one of the good guys in the investment world.

Yet Another Good Guy to Follow

He's one of the good guys who gives you HONEST information. For individuals who are just getting into trading, visit his website often what this stock investigator has detected. Newsletter writers obviously hates Gumshoe. But don't forget that us individual trader hate the frauds even more! It's nice to have someone that looks out for the traders, and especially those that are just starting to get into the trading gig.

Get on top of your sources.
