AGORACOM Small-cap Investor Relations Blog

THIS PRESENTATION WILL GO LIVE ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3RD @ 4:30 PM EST.

Please find enclosed our first of two workshop presentations for The AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference.  Jim Letourneau is the founder and editor of The Big Picture Speculator and is presenting his ideas on the entire concept of “peak oil”.  He simply believes we have more than enough oil and there will be plenty of money to be made from the oil industry – to the tune of 6 – 10 Trillion barrels of oil.  Given the fact we’ve only used 1.2 trillion barrels in the entire human existence, Jim thinks we’re sooner to get priced out of oil than to run out of it.

This is an awesome presentation.  Jim has an excellent delivery, is extremely confident when making his points and backs it up with some great data.

Please find enclosed our afternoon keynote presentation for The AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference. Gregor Macdonald, an oil analyst and energy sector investor, who also focuses on the coming transition to alternatives, brings us a great change of pace by evaluating whether a shift to renewable energy is actually feasible – OR – as he states whether “the risk of a return to coal is much higher than most anticipate“.

On its face, I think most of us assume we’re on our way to an all renewable world. Gregor shows us 100 trillion reasons why that may not be the case in his excellent presentation titled “Coal World: Will Energy Transition Deliver Us to a World of Green Energy, or Return us to a World of Coal?”.

I don’t think anybody worked harder on their presentation than Gregor, who chose a topic that is not generally discussed at this level of depth within investment or energy circles.  As such, he dug down deep to conduct some great research and then generate extremely thought provoking conclusions.  We’re extremely thankful for his efforts and highly encourage everyone to sit back, grab a coffee and watch some great insights.  After all, if he’s written for the Financial Times of London, cited in the New York Times, The Financial Times, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, WIRED, and the Oil And Gas Journal – you can bet he’s got great things to say.

Please find enclosed our lunch hour keynote presentation for The AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference. Eric Coffin, Co-Producer of The Hard Rock Analyst Publications, delivers a fantastic presentation titled “Interest Rates and Currencies Driving Metals Markets”.  During his presentation, Eric efficiently covers the reasons behind our global economic issues but – more importantly – spends most of his time answering the biggest question on all our minds … “so now what?”.

His methodical, detailed yet layman appealing presentation illustrates exactly why Coffin and his brother were awarded the Cambridge House Award for Market Analysis in 2007.
