ChinaSecurities.com Small-Cap Company Feature: Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:30 AM on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations - Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) with great financial results. Unlike many dubious US Small Cap Companies, Chinese Companies don’t seem to believe in losing money or failing to execute in a business plan. As such, 7-digit revenues and profits are very common.

From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

Small-Cap Markets, Money and Life Show – February 4, 2010

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:55 PM on Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Good evening to you all and welcome to another edition of our show. Please find enclosed a special Thursday edition of Markets, Money and Life With Grandich and George . Given time restrictions on both our schedules tomorrow, Peter and I recorded the show a day early.  Typically, we’ll just cancel on most occasions, however, we thought this was especially important given the market volatility today and this week.

This week’s show covered important and relevant topics to this week’s market action including:

  • Reasons behind drops in the market and commodities
  • The $USD Index
  • Sovereign Debt Risk – Real or just a market excuse to go lower?
  • The $48 drop in gold today and why Peter is hoping for another $25 technical washout
  • Physical vs. Paper Gold Market
  • Core Positions and Trading Positions
  • Small-Cap stocks In general
  • Specific small-cap stocks

Unfortunately, due to the speed at which we organized the show, we weren’t able to ask for questions from you this week.  Nonetheless, it was a great show.

Without further ado, here is this week’s show. You will notice we have a slightly different format. Just click on the image below.

For those of you whose Flash player isn’t up to snuff, here’s the MP3:

DOWNLOAD THE SHOW

For those of you who want to download the show automatically, it has now been approved by Apple and available for download via iTunes. In addition, the show has it’s own podcast section on smallcappodcast.com. The latter also contains an RSS feed for those of you that want to syndicate the show on your site.

Have a great weekend and looking forward to your comments.

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:08 PM on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010


Good evening to you all.  Earlier today, AGORACOM Client Evolving Gold Corp released the final 23 holes at its Rattlesnake Hills project and released some spectacular intercepts such as 158 meters at 2.64 gpt Au, which includes 16.8 meters at 10.31 gpt Au.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact that Evolving Gold is a client of AGORACOM and do your own due diligence.  To help you get started, I’ve included a link to the press release below.  More importantly, I’ve also included a link to a 9-minute interview with EVG President and Chief Geologist, Quinton Hennigh, in which he discusses the importance of these results in layman’s terms.  If you are interested in Evolving Gold, this is a very worthy use of 9-minutes of your time.

Evolving Gold Releases Final 23 Holes at Rattlesnake Hills

  • 158 meters at 2.64 gpt Au, includes 16.8 meters at 10.31 gpt Au
  • 82 meters at 3.00 gpt Au, includes 6.1 meters at 16.97 gpt Au
  • 120 meters at 1.64 gpt Au, includes 12.2 meters at 8.25 gpt Au
  • 201 meters at 1.08 gpt Au

Quinton Hennigh, president and chief geologist goes “Beyond the Press Release” to discuss today’s results.
