| Greetings, Gumshoe readers! |
Another wild and woolly week for the markets as investing pundits seemed to focus on politics and risk... but the world continues to throw money at US stocks, setting new all-time highs over and over again. So what's an investor to do?
Well, you should probably listen to all the get-rich-quick ideas and figure out how to turn your $1,000 into $200,000... right? No? OK, fine, but can we at least see what investments the hucksters are touting? Maybe they're not all terrible? We started the week with a look at a stock that the Motley Fool is saying "took on Amazon... and won!" -- sound appealing? Our look at that ad is here. Or for the rest of the week, just read on...

[Urgent] Read NOW if You're on Social Security... or Soon Will Be
Anyone who is dependent on a fixed income - like Social Security or a pension - is considered "high risk" for losing everything when the next currency crisis hits.
That's why Jim Rickards just released a new, never-before-seen book installment - and it might be the most important one yet.
In fact, he personally has over $1 million invested in this new technique, in order to protect himself and his family.
He strongly suggests that every American over the age of 55 do the same immediately. Even if it's just a small amount to start.

There's one clear winner in the "which ad are people asking me about" race for this week, and it's the pitch from Sid Riggs about a $5 stock whose technology can "eradicate Zika" and maybe rise by 16,000%... so what's the stock? Click here for our article and I'll explain (and get into some of the background, so you can do your research and make your own call).
And our guest columnist Myron Martin came back to share some thoughts this week -- he was inspired to solve a teaser pitch about Robert Appel's newsletter at Lombardi, and we posted that for you on Tuesday. Since Myron usually writes just for the Irregulars I originally held it back for those readers, but we've now opened it up for everyone in case you're interested in little miners... that article is here.
We also got a huge number of questions about an ad for Jeff Brown's Exponential Tech Investor in which he's talking up the huge potential of a "$39 computer" ... what the heck is he talking about? Well, most of the pitch is really just a "virtual reailty is going to be huge" spiel, but he does have a specific stock he likes... it's just that you can't buy it yet. Huh? Don't worry, we explain here.
We also got a new piece from Doc Gumshoe this week, looking at more pie-in-the-sky promises about losing weight (without diets or exercise, naturally) by harnessing the power of your gut bacteria. Or something like that -- Michael always does a good job of explaining what's real and what's ridiculous, you can see his piece here.
There have been some questions about a "Fingerprint of Life" pitch, so we're re-sharing an answer. I covered a "fingerprint of life" ad back in November when it first started running, and I expect the questions we're getting are about an updated version of that ad. So here you go, I'm reposting that article (with just a quick update to the Quick Take) in case you've been wondering what the "fingerprint of life" is.
And finally, we closed it out with some new pieces just for the Irregulars -- Dr. KSS shared a new column called "The State of Things: Ruction at Regulus" ... and then I shared my weekly Friday File, which this time around was mostly about marijuana and gold.
Enjoy the final moments of your weekend, everyone -- more excitement to come in the days ahead, I'm sure, and we'll be there to blather on about promises and pipe dreams for you.
