China ACM (CADC:OTC) Wins $2.2 Million Contract For High-Speed Railway

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:17 AM on Thursday, March 5th, 2009

It is no secret that I am extremely bullish on Chinese Small-Cap stocks for the long run. Quite simply, I love them for a few reasons. On a macro level, China is unstoppable. On a micro level, Chinese companies tend to run real businesses with real products, customers, revenues and profits.

As such, if you’re a successful Chinese small-cap company today, you have a good chance at being an incredibly big company tomorrow. In the same breath, investors have an opportunity to grow and prosper from the rise of a new economic powerhouse. An opportunity that only comes about every couple hundred years. I want to be a part of that and so should you.

One company investors should be considering is AGORACOM client, China Advanced Construction Materials. If you assume I am horribly conflicted (which you should) then let the latest Q2 numbers in which it earned $2.6 million plus this latest contract award speak for themselves.

A little background info first. 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

Awarded 2.2 Million Contract For High-Speed Chinese Railway

NEW YORK and BEIJING, March 4 — China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (“China ACM”) (OTC Bulletin Board: CADC), a leading provider of ready-mix concrete and related services in China, today announced that it was awarded a $2.2 million contract to provide concrete manufacturing services for a major section of the Jin-Qin High Speed Railway construction project. The railway will run from Tianjin to Qinhuangdao and will cover approximately 164 miles. China ACM’s component of the project is scheduled for completion in mid-2010.

AGORACOM Hits 1.31 Million Unique Visitors For Full Year 2008

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:10 AM on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Back on October 10th, we announced AGORACOM traffic results for the first full-year since the launch of our small-cap, wiki-powered “Investor Controlled Discussion Forums” on October 5, 2007.

Today, I am very pleased to announce our traffic results for the full year 2008.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, this snapshot from our Google analytics is worth several million

[PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGE, CLEAR GRAPH]

AGORACOM Traffic FY 2008

Suffice it to say, we are once again ecstatic with the results.  This is especially true given the state of the markets in Q4 2008.  We attribute much of this success to practicing what we preach. Specifically, when times are tough and your competitors are running for cover, crank up the marketing.  AGORACOM did just that with the launch of TV ads on Bloomberg, CNBC and BNN , as well as, the addition of Peter Grandich.

ELECTRONIC SHAREHOLDER FORUMS WILL REPLACE TRADITIONAL IR DEPARTMENTS AND IRO’S

To this end, we will continue to re-invest back into the success of our community, clients and members.  Look for significant news from AGORACOM on the mobile and international fronts shortly.  We’re building for the long-term here folks.  There is no stopping the web/mobile trend as the sole source of investor relations, investor collaboration and market information.  Investors are demanding it, loving it and we are going to continue delivering.  Electronic shareholder forums are going to replace traditional investor relations departments and IRO’s.  We’ve got a foothold and we’re not letting go.

CLIENTS AND MEMBERS THAT BELIEVED

I want to thank all of our great clients and members that believed in our model and breathed unbelievable life into this paradigm shifting platform. Without them, this would be one hell of an application with no users. A special thanks goes out to all HUB Leaders that abandoned their former communities at Stockhouse, Raging Bull, Yahoo Finance and others in hopes of a better experience. I’m glad our promises to you have been fulfilled.  Thank-You!

REPUTATION AND RANKING SYSTEM

When we created our community by combining UGC, Wiki and reputation based tools, we set out to destroy the stock discussion forum status quo that we have all come to hate over the past 10 years thanks to unrelenting spam, profanity, stock bashing, stock hyping and the unacceptable. Many thought it could not be done because we could neither change habits nor unseat the incumbents. We not only knew we could, we knew investors wanted us to.  All they needed was a solution that focused on quality over quantity.

Now, more than lip service, the following numbers speak for themselves:

THE TALE OF THE TAPE

(Figures for January 1, 2008 – December 31, 2008. All figures reported by Google Analytics)

  • Unique Visitors 1,311,797
  • Visits 7,936,725 (so close to 8 million…)
  • Page Views 95,958,206
  • Pages Per Visit 12.09
  • Avg Time On Site 9:19
  • Number Of Countries/Territories 207
  • Top 10 (Canada, USA, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Belgium, Australia, Sweden, Mexico, Switzerland)

The numbers look even better when you consider

  • We built our model on quality vs quantity. As such, this is pure discussion. No spam, flaming and bickering traffic.
  • We are only focusing on small-cap and micro-cap stocks …for now.

THE STATUS QUO IS CRUMBLING
