AGORACOM Exclusive: World’s #18 Hedge Fund Manager – “Oil Is Going To $200″

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

In this AGORACOM exclusive interview, Jean-Francois Tardif of Sprott Asset Management calls for $200 oil – and potentially higher – in the next few years.

Tardif also discusses the following:

  • $1,000 gold is inevitable in 2008
  • US sub-prime pain is only beginning, with $250 – $450 billion in write downs
  • What investors should be buying to take advantage of energy and gold
  • Why buying on the dips won’t work in this cycle
  • Why shorting has to be part of your investment strategy – but only via hedge funds

Lots of good stuff in this interview and well worth the time if you are serious about your portfolio. If you want to know more about JF, his Barron’s recognition or his HFM US award, just click on the images above.

Regards,
George

Rolling Rock Resources (RLL: TSXV) – Increases Inferred Gold Resource To 944,000 Ounces

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:51 PM on Friday, February 22nd, 2008

In a field increasingly being filled with companies lacking great fundamentals, the ultimate differentiator in the junior resource sector is the filing of a 43-101 technical report. Rolling Rock Resources (RLL: TSXV) today announced that the Technical Report supporting the Monument Bay mineral resources as reported on January 8, 2008 is now filed on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. Sedar hadn’t posted it as of the time of this posting, so keep checking back.

In the meantime, here is a summary from the press release:

The new estimation increased the inferred mineral resource by 35% to 944,000 ounces gold from 701,000 ounces gold. The resource estimate was made by Thomas C. Stubens, M.A.Sc. P.Eng., Senior Geologist of Wardrop Engineering Inc.

The report – titled Monument Bay Gold Deposit; Focus on Gold Inventory Update – incorporates all previous work to date including over $28 million of exploration expenditures with over 100,000 metres of diamond drilling. The Technical Report was prepared by J.T. Shearer, M.Sc., P.Geo along with Jose Garcia; the Company’s’ Senior Project Geologist.

Monument Bay is Rolling Rock’s 100% owned flagship project that was acquired in March 2006 from what was then Bema Gold Corporation and Wolfden Resources. Monument Bay is located in Northeastern Manitoba, 350 kilometers southeast of Thompson. Red Sucker Lake, with full hydro electric power and airport services as well as winter road access, lies 60 kilometers to the southwest. The project consists of 35 contiguous claims and a mining exploration license covering 25,706 hectares in area.

For more information, make sure to take a look at both the press release and the report on Sedar.

**Disclosure – Rolling Rock is an AGORACOM client that is currently under construction and scheduled to be launched by the end of the month.  Make sure to visit the HUB at that time and find out more about the company.

George

IDC – Internet Use Now Doubles TV Time

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:20 AM on Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I’m happy to say that my efforts to help educate the small-cap industry regarding the importance of online IR has yielded amazing results in the past 12 months. Nonetheless, I still find CEO’s who have their doubts about the web, so my job is never done and I’m only too happy to continue the education process.

Today’s lesson is courtesy of IDC - the premier global provider of market intelligence in the IT and consumer technology space. This is a serious and well respected organization, with more than 900 analysts in over 90 countries worldwide. As such, when they speak, you should listen. I know I do.

The latest research out of IDC indicates that Online Consumers Spend Almost Twice as Much Time Using the Internet as Watching TV. They also spend 8 times more time on the web than reading newspapers and magazines.

I could go into the details but my legal education taught me there are times when it is best to just shut up because Res Ipsa Loquitur – the thing speaks for itself.

Thus endeth the lesson.

Regards,
George

p.s. Thanks to Paul Kedrosky for finding the article.

Gold Hits $944 After Hours…My $1,000 “Checkmate” Call Is Loooookin’ Gooood

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:17 PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Hey, gang. Just a quick note that gold hit $944 after-hours today. Reuters posted this story just a few minutes ago and my $1,000 call from January 3rd is looking better and better.

UPDATE: Great article from TheStreet.com that summarizes the basis of the gold move, without mentioning gold. Specifically, inflation numbers out of the US this morning were higher than expected. This may handcuff the Fed who now have to be worried about inflation but want to provide greater stimulus to the economy via rate cuts. Either road leads to higher inflation = higher gold prices.

Regards,
George

Fresh off the heels of our PDAC Sponsorship announcement, we’re thrilled to announce that AGORACOM’s now infamous Bay Street Hold’Em tournament is going to make its inaugural appearance at the PDAC in Toronto – and it’s coming in style with $10,000 up for grabs.

Actual poker players are limited to CEO’s of public companies but the best part – drinking and socializing while watching – is open to everyone. The party afterwards will also be wide open but players and AGORACOM HUB Leaders will be given VIP Status.

PDAC Hospitality Suites are never going to be the same.

The Details

  • When? Sunday, March 2nd, 7:00 PM EST (Poker) 10:00 PM EST (Party)
  • Where? (Where else?) Royal York Hotel, Salon B, 3rd Floor
  • Free Play For Poker Players
  • Free Food

Spread the word and see you there.

Regards,
George
