Webcast: Why Facebook Investor Relations Will Fail You

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:07 AM on Thursday, March 17th, 2011

I love Facebook.  I am on Facebook.  It has done wonders for helping me maintain relationships with the hundreds of people in my life that I don’t have time to see and speak to on a regular basis.  AGORACOM is on Facebook.  We have 488 fans and it is a great way for our members or other investors on Facebook to get our info into their feed.

Facebook is a phenomenon unlike any other I have seen – and I look forward to being a part of it for years to come.

But relying on Facebook as your primary online investor relations destination is a recipe for disaster.  Contrary to what Social Media IR Experts (aka “Pretenders”) will tell you, Facebook IR will fail you.

To find out the many reasons why – and how I put my money where my mouth is – watch the presentation I gave at IR Conference 2011 in Vancouver on January 21.  It was the anchor presentation and feedback from the audience of small-cap public companies was tremendous.  I opened their eyes and know it will do the same for you.

The good news is that Facebook done correctly can be a big boost to your online investor relations campaign.  Look for that presentation to come out in about a month, or feel free to contact me at [email protected] to discuss sooner.

Regards,
George

Excellent Table Of Junior Uranium Losses … And Opportunities

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:11 AM on Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

The good people at Mining Almanac have put together some excellent data illustrating losses suffered by junior mining companies, with most of them being uranium companies. Look to the far right column for a “U” to indicate they are in the uranium business … pretty much all of them.

The carnage is painful to look at, especially given the fact I saw so many of these companies at PDAC celebrating the resurgence of uranium stocks.

Nonetheless, as the saying goes, opportunity comes from crisis, so have a look at the list below and determine which ones provide the best opportunity for a rebound.  Many of these companies have HUBS on AGORACOM, so you can collaborate with investors there, or simply go straight to our Uranium HUB to collaborate in general.

If you click on the image, you can go straight to the page and do some additional filtering, or just use this link.  For example, you can see that I only selected Canadian stocks but you can expand that if you wish.

VIDEO: Marc Faber On CNBC …. QE3, 4, 5, 6 ….

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:10 AM on Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Faber on Japan, the Fed and QE ….. For those of you who think Faber is too pessimistic, he does view the current Japanese sell-off as a buying opportunity but says all bets are off if a meltdown takes place.

Further QE means greater inflation, higher gold / silver / commodities, which is bullish for TSX Venture Juniors and the TSX in general.

Ridiculous Overnight Volitility In Japan and US Index Futures

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:58 AM on Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

For the masses, it was best that you were asleep.  For the pro traders, you are either paying off your mortgage or looking for a cardboard box to move into.  This was simply out of control …. but was it capitulation? For now, yes.  However, given the fact Tokyo is now reporting extremely elevated radiation levels, this could be just the beginning:

Am I Angry About SEC Letting Lehman Walk? Fucking Right I Am

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:55 PM on Saturday, March 12th, 2011

I’m not going to add much more than what has already been said below via ZeroHedge and then my responses Via Twitter.  The only question that remains, is whether Canadian Securities Commissions are going to pursue Lehman Brothers for the mega losses inflicted on Canadians as a result of Lehman’s acts to clearly mislead investors. If not, why not?

At PDAC And Want To Know If Someone Is Lying To You?

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:53 AM on Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The great thing about conferences like the PDAC is that you get to put CEO’s and IRO’s to the test by sitting in their booths and asking them important questions.  When receiving your answers, don’t just hear what they have to say … read what their body language is saying.  For those of you that don’t work at the CIA, here is how you spot a liar and possibly save some portfolio headaches!

Yes, a little tongue in cheek but I loved the tips.  Courtesy of Barry Ritholtz:

This Is Why You Don’t Chase Parabolic Charts

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:26 AM on Monday, March 7th, 2011

It’s easy to get caught up in the trading frenzy currently taking place in the junior resources sector – but I’ve stated over and over again that you don’t chase parabolic charts.  If you missed a boat, you miss a boat.  Better to let it go then get burned by the avalanche that is very likely to take place after a parabolic move.

IF … IF …. IF you insist on jumping aboard a parabolic move on expectations it is still going higher (it’s your funeral), then you MUST set very tight stops.  Otherwise, you are purely throwing a desperation Hail Mary … and shouldn’t be in the market.

Here is the latest example of post-parabolic carnage …. somebody got hurt.  Don’t ever let it be you:
