Readers of my blog know that I often subscribe to the concept of PYMWYMI – Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. Back in January we launched the AGORACOM 100, a limited marketplace of exceptional small and mid-cap companies that investors could use as their research starting point. We felt so strongly about it that we reached out beyond online marketing and announced the launch on TV.
The concept behind the AGORACOM 100 is simple – Quality Over Quantity. There are just too many small and mid-cap companies that do not deserve to be public, many of whom engage in nothing more but paper selling pump .and dump schemes. Somebody had to create the filter. Somebody had to start the process of separating the wheat from the chaff. We stepped up. There is a lot of work to do – but the process has begun.
5 months later, I’m proud to announce that we’ve recorded our second commercial. It will begin airing in both the US (CNBC, Bloomberg) and Canada (BNN) on June 1.
The bottom line is that investors have embraced online investor relations. They prefer companies that are transparent and open enough to make themselves accessible 24/7 via electronic shareholder forums in which they respond to questions posted for everyone to see. Why wouldn’t they? In this day and age where investors have lost confidence in blue chip stocks, openness and transparency is pretty much a requirement.
Kindly have a look and let me know what you think:
UPDATE: Sorry Folks. The online version is not available right now. Check back shortly.
