AGORACOM Small-Cap Content and Branding On GlobeInvestor.com Front Page

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:37 PM on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

GlobeInvestor.com and ReportOnBusiness.com are the online business and investing arm of the Globe & Mail, Canada’s national newspaper. That is significant because GlobeInvestor brings in about 950,000 unique visitors per month, though we’ve heard the number is bigger.

As some of you know, AGORACOM has been the exclusive provider of small-cap resources and energy content to Globe for several months now, including a gateway from the front page of both GlobeInvestor and ReportOnBusiness.

However, as AGORACOM continues to grow and gain a wider global audience of investors, bloggers and media, it’s important to repeat it on our blog every once in a while. To keep it fresh, I’ve included images with links.

Have to admit a certain amount of pride to know that little ol’ AGORACOM is making its mark with the biggest and most respected name in Canadian business media.

Regards,
George

Microsoft:Apple Market Cap Multiple Evaporates In 6 Years. A Lesson For Small-Cap CEO’s

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:22 AM on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

If you are a market leader in your space, the following will illustrate why you shouldn’t get too cozy or complacent.

If you are a start-up, a (hard-working) laggard, or a small-cap CEO playing catch up to the big fish, the following should inspire you to keep pushing on both the sweat and ingenuity fronts.

  • Apple’s market value has risen from $US 6 billion in 2002 to $US 152 billion today.
  • In the same six year period, Microsoft’s market value has fallen from $US347 billion (or 58 times Apple) to $235 billion (1.5 times Apple).

I knew that Apple had made some incredible strides on MSFT over this decade but I was blown away by the shrinkage in the market-cap multiple between the two. From 58:1 to 1.5:1 – now that is what I call closing ground on the enemy.

Any guesses as to when Apple catches and runs MSFT right over?

Jim Rogers Talking Freddie, Fannie, Benny, Uncle Sammy and China

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:16 AM on Monday, July 14th, 2008

Good morning to you all. Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund along with billionaire investor George Soros and whom we covered on AGORACOM quite extensively, was on Bloomberg TV this morning discussing every financial crisis under the sun.

I am writing this as I watch the interview, so don’t mind my form but do mind the facts.

UPDATE: Video is now up on Bloomberg.

Rogers was one of the first to go on record with a $200 oil call, saying $100 oil was a forgeone conclusion, as well as, $1,000 gold. He is also one of the biggest US bears out there, having announced that he is selling all of his US holdings and dollars, as well as, going short on the entire financial sector. Read our coverage from November 2007 here.

On the other hand, he is the biggest Agricultural bull anywhere, telling investors at every opportunity to buy Agriculture due to demand out of Asia.

Given what has happened to oil, gold, US markets, the US dollar and Agriculture, we make sure to pay attention to anything he has to say. You don’t have to follow all of his advice – but you should consider his comments at the very least.

*NOTE – This was an interview via Satellite so the notes below are more like shorthand notes…but they’re well worth your time tor read.
