AGORACOM is a sponsor of the Roth China Vegas Conference and reporting on some of the incredible companies that are presenting at this conference.  As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese Small Cap Stocks 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]  Many Small Cap Chinese Stocks are listing in the US (OTCBB, AMEX and graduating higher) 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.

TODAY’S FEATURED COMPANY

China Advanced Construction Materials (OTCBB: CADC)

80% of China ACM revenues are directly derived from major state-owned construction companies.  China ACM is a producer of advanced construction materials for large scale commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments. The company is primarily focused on producing and supplying a wide range of advanced ready-mix concrete materials for highly technical, large scale, and environmental construction projects

Financial Highlights for Q1 Ended September 30, 2008

• Revenue decreased to $5.0 million, up from $6.0 million in the corresponding period in 2007.  However, decrease in revenue is due to a switch to higher margin products, as reflected in gross margin increases below.

• Gross profit increased by 170% to $2.7 million, representing a 52.3% gross margin, compared with gross profit of $1.0 million, or a 17.2% gross margin, for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross profit is mainly attributable to a deliberate shift in the Company’s product and services mix.

• Net income increased to $1.1 million, as compared to a $1.0 million for the same period in 2007.  However, this quarter also included one-time expenses related to completion of a reverse merger transaction.

CHINA ACM ANTICIPATES $9 MILLION IN NET INCOME FOR 2009

“”We look forward to beginning the projects recently awarded to us such as the East Datong to Gudian railway and the Beijing to Shi Jiazhuang high-speed railroad. As a result of these and other projects underway, our current backlog stands at over 1.5 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete through June 30, 2009, securing our ability to achieve a net income of at least $9 million for fiscal 2009, after adjusting for certain transaction-related charges and expenses.”

Last night at the AGORACOM sponsored Roth China/Vegas Conference, keynote presenter Jim Rogers stated that “Gold will hit its inflation adjusted high of $2200.”  Jim made this call in response to a question I posed following his “state of the union” on the United States economy, which was basically “get the hell out  as fast as you can”.

Fortunately, for the 6 billion people on the planet that could not be at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas last night, I covered the event and posted his comments via the AGORACOM Twitter from my cell phone.  Twitter search hasn’t indexed my tweets yet, so here’s a snapshot:

===================

===================

AGORACOM remains very bullish on Gold, as outlined within our extensive “Gold $1,000” blog entries.  After Jim’s speech, perhaps I should rename it “Gold $2,000″?

TODAY’S FEATURED COMPANY

China Energy Recovery, Inc. (OTCBB: CGYV)

A leader in China’s waste-heat recovery sector of the alternative energy industry, recently announced financial results for the nine months and the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008.

AGORACOM TV Segment.

Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

• Revenue increased to $16.0 million, up from $7.5 million in the corresponding period in 2007, an increase of 112.0%. The increase in revenue is due to increased sales volume of energy recovery systems and services of the company as a result of increasing market demand.

• Gross profit increased by 411.4% to $3.5 million, representing a 22.0% gross margin, compared with gross profit of $0.7 million, or a 9.1% gross margin, for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross profit is mainly attributable to increased licensing and design service revenue with higher margins and the company’s efforts in adjusting contract prices in coping with orders of increasing size and the increased prices of raw materials in 2008.

• Net income increased to $0.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the same period in 2007.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Comparing the third fiscal quarter of 2008 to the third fiscal quarter of 2007:

• Revenue increased by 56.7% to $6.1 million from $3.9 million

• Gross profit rose to $1.6 million from $0.1 million, a 1,099.4% increase. The respective gross margins were 26.3% and 3.4%.

• Net income rose to $0.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2007.

“With contracts continuing to come in including some of our biggest systems
to date, and with clients who represent some of the largest manufacturers in
their industries, we expect that we’ll continue on this trajectory of growth and
expansion into 2009 and beyond.”

CEO, Mr. Qinghuan Wu.

What is Energy Recovery?

Industrial facilities and power plants release significant amounts of excess heat into the atmosphere in the form of hot exhaust gases or high pressure steam. Energy recovery is the process of recovering vast amounts of that wasted energy and converting it into usable electricity, dramatically lowering energy costs. Energy recovery systems are also capable of capturing the majority of carbon emissions and other harmful pollutants that would otherwise be released into the environment. It is estimated that energy recovery systems installed in U.S. industrial facilities could produce up to 20% of U.S. electricity needs without burning any additional fossil fuel, and could help many industries to meet stringent environmental regulations.

TODAY’S FEATURED COMPANY

Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corporation (OTCBB:WLOL.OB)

A PRC-based global shipping company which also owns and operates China’s largest shipping website portal “Shipping Online” (www.sol.com.cn), recently reported continued substantial growth in its operations, despite significantly increased fuel costs and the effects of the global financial crisis.

Winland has a fleet of 13 Company-owned vessels, mainly in the Supramax and Handysize category, engaged in international bulk cargo transportation.

AGORACOM TV Segment.

Third quarter ended September 30, 2008:

• Revenues climbed 37.0% to $22,790,122 compared with $16,629,210 in the same period last year

• Net income in the quarter grew 40.8% from $3,763,103 in the 2007 third quarter to $5,298,476 in the third quarter of 2008.

• Reflecting an increased number of shares outstanding, earnings per share on a basic and fully diluted basis were $0.04 in the 2008 quarter compared with $0.04 in the same period last year.
• Cash and cash equivalents to $5,556,743 as of September 30, 2008 compared with $3,786,766 a year earlier, and an increase in working capital as of the same date to $4.0 million as compared with a working capital deficiency of $16.4 million at December 31, 2007.

Nine month period ended September 30, 2008:

• Revenues of $71,872,448 reflected an increase of 37.8% over revenues of $52,142,008 in the same period last year

• Net income in the 2007 nine month period included a $4,836,349 gain, principally from the sale of a vessel in the period, which brought 2007 nine month net to $18,035,267, slightly higher than net income in the 2008 nine month period of $17,422,191. Coupled with a 4,210,766 increase in basic and diluted shares, earnings per share in the first nine months of 2008 were $0.16 as compared with $0.17 in the same period last year.

Outlook

“Due to the global economic crisis, the international economy is greatly impacted,
especially in the area of import and export trading. Therefore, our profits for the fourth quarter of 2008 and beginning of 2009 certainly will be influenced. However, in the
long run, since most of our own vessels were purchased before 2003 when the shipping market was down and no vessels were purchased or chartered in 2007, when the market
was high, our vessels costs will have been kept low. Consequently, we will have a
tremendous advantage compared with our competitors. Obviously, the financial crisis
is a crisis of survival for some competitors, but for us, it is a rapid expansion opportunity.”

Mr. Li Honglin, President and Founder

Good evening to you all.  Despite significant weakness in the markets during October, I am very pleased to announce that AGORACOM set a monthly record for unique visitors (149,385) and total visits (741,562).  All of our traffic stats are tracked and reported by Google Analytics.

We attribute our October success to a couple of important factors.  First, in keeping with our advice to pubco clients that marketing during turbulent times is actually quite effective, AGORACOM launched 30-second TV ads on BNN, Bloomberg and CNBC in mid-September.  Using Google Trends, we saw an immediate impact with US searches for “Agoracom” sky-rocketing by mid-October.  FYI, the anecdotal feedback has been tremendous from current and prospective clients who have seen the ads.

Secondly, comScore reported that traffic to financial websites has actually jumped as a result of market turmoil, serving as further proof that small-cap public companies need to maintain marketing during this period.

Thanks to our great members and our great clients for helping make AGORACOM a 2nd generation financial community in which smart investors and smart public companies can communicate in near real-time, without problems relating to profanity, spam, flaming, stock bashing and stock hyping.

Regards,
George

I’m not beating anybody to the punch, so I won’t rehash the news.  However, I will say this is a pretty staggering amount relatively speaking.  Specifically, Paul Kedrosky stated the following:

Good to see the Chinese stepping into the mix with such conviction.   Is this China signalling they are prepared to takeover the position of global economic leader?  Sure looks like it.

George

Where have we heard that before? Barack, if you’re looking for a working and proven platform, give us a call.

We’re excited about the fact that President-Elect Obama gets it. He understands how to use technology as a powerful communications tool, rather than fearing it. He understands that people are going to have both positive and negative conversations - and chooses to be a part of it.

White House 2.0. Has a nice ring to it.

UPDATE (NOV 16) - Obama today announced that he will be using YouTube to post weekly addresses and other updates to the nation.

Regards,
George

Congratulations.  Good luck.  Make us proud.  Make us believe again.  The entire planet is behind you.

I’m going to sleep and, for the first time in a long time, looking forward to waking up to a new era.

Regards,
George
