Fat Prophets - Fat Free email stocks

[RichKid]

Fat Prophets often provides clues about certain stocks that it favours in their emails without giving the name of the stock. These stocks are usually recommended to their subscribers beforehand imo (this is often stated in the email) so that any further buying interest can only be to the advantage of current fp subscribers.

Today's email had me hunting for clues and I think I've identified the oil co referred to the email as TAP Oil (see the TAP thread for my post today).

In future, we could ID the co on this thread initially and then continue discussion of the stock in the relevant stock thread once we're settled on its identity. There are normally two or three specific clues which allow us to zero in on the correct stock.

Any ramping via this thread will not be tolerated. Please refer to the clues in the email and any evidence you accumulate when you post your guess here.

Here is my post with evidence and analysis of TAP in relation to the most recent FP email from the TAP thread: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=229455&postcount=95

Sounds like a good plan Richkid.
I read the FP email everyweek and then work out what they are recommending. This week was TAP oil.

 

[Riles]

Aaahh, Tap oil eh? I also wondered who they were talking about so now I know!
I did work out the goldie they were talking about - SBM.
I actually sold SBM today - figuring the SP may drop back soon on the back of the SPP which is set at 63c.
So I'll have to have a look at TAP now...

Yes Riles, I thought it was SBM too from that old email, not sure if they still hold or have sold SBM. That's the catch, once they get you in you need to manage the position yourself. Glad to see other followers of this thread Eddy- many hands make light work so it's good for us to check each other's research.

Note that FP do make spectacular mistakes sometimes so just identifying a stock from their email doesn't guarantee $$$$.

I have been following their emails quite closely over the last few months and invested in a handful of their recommendations. I have done quite well so far -Carnavon Petroleum, Bannerman Resources, and a few gold stocks including SBM.

They are pretty positive on TAP and I read the latest TAP presentation and there seems to be a lot of potential there, so I might consider buying into this one too.

I just received an email from Fat Prophets about a uranium explorer in Namibia with an estimated initial resource of 30-40 mill lb U308 that they are pushing. Is this Bannerman? I only received it today. Don't Bannerman already have a first resource?

Can anybody decipher the 2 gold companies in the Fat Prophets email today.

Not too sure on the 1st gold mention, but the 2nd one I think is in reference to Centamin.

Any help? Analysis from smart people :

Both of the two first ones mentioned are in WA, but they mention the egypt connection and that would be as you pointed out Centamin (previous buy). Busy researching the first two.

I think the second one is St Barbara SBM, because the $100 mill cap raising matches up and the price of 88c plus 37c low at August all matches up.

 

[grace]

Sorry, I think I read it wrong....all of the info (I thought they were describing 3 companies) is St Barbara SBM. You have the second one Centamin CNT.

 

[eddyeagle]

Yep agree with that - SBM and Centamin

 

[eddyeagle]

Do they also talk about Andean Resources at the bottom of the email?

 

[BlingBling]

Remember that they are using those stocks as an example to lure you in and are not BUYs right now.

 

[barnz2k]

funny, been thinking recently about this too. That they give just enough info to let you figure it out, but so true - they dont just give the name which would piss off the paying subscribers, but you can work it out and buy what they subscribers already have, and helping them. Smart.

still could be useful though.
We should start tracking a few of them, noting the stock and the price at the time the newsletter was issued.
Then see how many of them gain over time.

How sound are your claims BB?

I know in their emails they highlight their various successes, but they also show some nice hypothetical portfolio gains?

I wonder what the success/failure ratio is of the stocks they own?

 

[BlingBling]

A lot of their stocks in these letters are or have done really well. I know a few personally that I have invested in that they used in the free newsletter that tanked. So it's best to do as was mentioned above and make a watchlist and follow em closely. I am a subscriber and put each recommendation they make in a WL @ $2k for each recommendation. It's very interesting to see how they fair as a whole.. Looking at the watchlists from May last year the Aussie report is negative and the mining is much better.

"Looking at the watchlists from May last year the Aussie report is negative and the mining is much better. "

Aussie report? Mining report? Can you please expand on this?

I guess thats the punt of the market though as well. If you invest when the newsletter comes out and they come good, you are . If not, you are right, you got duped...tough call

 

[heredownunder]

I think FP make some good calls. Although, working out when to get into them is a different issue. I used to subscribe but don't anymore, as a few of their recommendations I got into, only to see the share price keep going down. Their analyst might be right, but if the market doesn't agree, then you are stuffed. After losing money on a recommendation, I have sold out and waited for it to hit bottom, before getting back in.
