ChinaSecurities.com Small-Cap Company Feature: Worldwide Energy & Manufacturing USA, Inc

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:29 AM on Friday, April 16th, 2010

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies 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] Great Results and Valuations – Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) 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.

From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

  • Drilling at the DAC Deposit continued to intersect multiple gold zones with high grade values over significant widths (Table 1) including DES10-137 which intersected 20.85 g/t gold over 1.1 m within a vein zone that averages 8.46 g/t over 3.0m.

Great Support From AGORACOM Members and The Industry

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:38 PM on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Image Courtesy Of http://school.discoveryeducation.com/

I want to take this opportunity to thank our members for the great support they have shown over the past few days.  We’ve been keeping track of many comments via our del.icio.us account and invite you to see the testimonials here.   for the lazy linkers out there, here are just a few:

MEMBERS

“Agoracom has provided a much needed service. It has allowed knowledgeable responders/investors the forum to share fact based additional information. It all helps us retailers to better understand what the companies press releases mean. best wishes to continued success at Agoracom.”

“The truth is that power serves it own ends and businesses are not democracies. But they benefit from opening ownership up to a public that thinks shareholding is a form of business democracy. You and your members actually demonstrated that principle a couple of times and clearly those in power didn’t like it. To them it is supposed to be a democracy in name only.”

“I believe Agoracom is the best investing tool i’ve ever come across .  The voice of such a large number of retail investor from all walks of life from around the world makes this place the most open voice to engage in reflection on my placement and gives me a better view of the value of the stocks i invest in.”

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

In addition, we’ve received great support from clients, CEO’s of other companies and consultants who have called, texted and e-mailed us over the past few days.   Here are just a couple of great comments:

PUBLIC COMPANIES

“Hey, bro. I have no doubt you’ll come out the other end OK. You’re one of the good guys.”

“George you keep up the good work. you are not doing anything wrong by helping investors sift thru all the noise out there, you are the Canadian online version of CNBC. we need you to help us determine which companies are using online tools to speak with shareholder and or media. Keep providing us with a great forum to speak with the companies we are investing in.  Thank-you – we support you.

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

From Vancouver and as far away as Mexico, CEO’s have called in to voice their support and remind us how important AGORACOM is to the small-cap industry.

Despite being restricted as to how much we could say (and we want to say a lot), investors and industry participants understand what we have built together and have chosen to stand behind us until we’ve had our day in court.  That’s all we’re asking for, so we thank you for that.

As always, if you want to track posts about this specific matter, we’ve created a specific category that you can bookmark and follow http://blog.agoracom/category/osc

Top Online IR Consultant “OSC Has No Case For Fraud”

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:26 AM on Friday, April 2nd, 2010

As most readers of this blog know, I often read and quote the opinions and findings of Dominic Jones.  He publishes the best research and information about online investor relations practices through IR Web Report.  He has counseled some of the world’s biggest and best-known corporations across every sector and in more than a dozen different countries. As such, when he writes, I’ve always listened.

When we posted the AGORACOM Response To OSC Allegations, I purposely did not contact him directly so as to give him an opportunity to read both the allegations and our response. I wanted to.  I badly wanted to.  But Dominic Jones is a former investigative reporter from South Africa that broke some big stories during its most volatile and dangerous times. He doesn’t need to be handled.  He can figure things out for himself.  I anxiously awaited his response.

It turns out he had a couple of responses. I won’t dilute them.  Here they are.

——-

——

I would say thank-you for the responses – but Dominic isn’t doing me a favour.  He is telling it like it is and opening my eyes a little further in the process.  For that I will say thank-you. Now, I will call him.

Regards,
George
