Blog Post #1,000. Life = Risk
I noticed earlier this afternoon that I was at 999 blog posts. Andreas, our community director, was sitting beside me and said exactly what I was thinking “What are you going to post to commemorate #1,000?”.
I didn’t give it too much thought but knew it should be something beyond the normal course of business. As I prepared to leave the office this evening, I went through e-mail messages that I mark to be read after-hours and came across a post from my friend, Chris Brown, over at Surge Capital. The subject line was “Motivational Video” and his message was simply “A must watch.”
I watched.
My kids are going to watch.
So should you.
Pass it on to anyone who believes in a dream that is shared by very few others.
Post your real-life experience in the comments section.
I’ll start. “Online investor relations? Moderated stock discussion forums? Never going to happen. Online investors are nut jobs. No CEO is going to take this seriously.”
I can’t think of anything more fitting for my 1,000th post.
If you’re feeling motivated and want to move on to fired up and introspective, watch the following 2 phenomenal, soul-grabbing commercials. You don’t have to be a football or designer bag fan to appreciate their take on life. Just watch. I dare you to tell me your hair doesn’t stand on end and that you don’t suddenly feel like you can take on any challenge:

In Celebration Of Gold $1,000, 16 Great Gold Juniors For You To Choose From
Back on September 9th, when Gold firmly crossed over $1,000, we posted our first “In Celebration Of Gold $1,000 Post, 15 Juniors For You To Choose From“.  It was spurred on by the amount of buzz created by those seeking to invest in good gold stocks.  For example, world-renowned small-cap trader and “stock guru to the little people” – Timothy Sykes – immediately posted the following to Twitter at 7:30 AM that morning:
With gold now trading closer to $1,050 and waving bye-bye to the fading $1,000 level, I anticipate more requests like this would come in from all over the web, so I’ve update the list for all those investors who are now seeking great gold juniors.
I’ve put together a quick snapshot of 16 gold stocks / AGORACOM Clients. Yes, assume I am horribly conflicted and do your own homework.
I’ve listed the companies alphabetically to avoid any appearance of preferential treatment. You have some grass roots companies, as well as, some cash generating producers in here, so be sure to look through the entire list and find the one that best suits your investment needs.
What is really great about these junior gold companies is they are completely accessible to questions from online investors. You post questions to their HUB and get an answer in less than 24 hours – and usually the same day. That should give you an early indication as to the confidence of these companies. I’ve provided a link to each company’s HUB and electronic shareholder forum.
If you have already committed to making gold stocks a part of your longer-term investing plan (longer than the end of this week), then you’ll also want to utilize the following helpful resources that I have set up:
Gold Prices Page – Consolidated view of everything from spot prices to 1-year charts.
Gold $1,000 Blog Posts – Anytime I post something about gold, I add it to this category for ease of use. You will note that we have been calling for $1,000 gold for a couple of years now. Our Chief Commentator, Peter Grandich, has been interviewed in WSJ, CNBC, Fox, BNN, Marketwatch and almost every other major media source for his uncanny gold calls over the past 3 years.
I hope you will find this list helpful and I look forward to any comments you may have.
Regards,
George

“Twitter and Blogs Have Taken Hold As Primary Sources Of Investment Information For Analysts And Institutional Investors”

Image coutesy of Engadget
If you’re a small to mid-cap CEO and still having doubts about the power of online investor relations, then you need not look any further than this quote which came from 40 IROs who gathered at the TMX Broadcast Centre recently in Toronto for the fifth annual IR Magazine Canada Think Tank.
One of the day’s most popular discussions was about social media, with evidence starting to show that Twitter and blogs have taken hold as
primary sources of investment information for analysts and institutional investors. Think tank participants discussed how they’re using
social media technology for both internal and external audiences, and how they’re monitoring social networks for information about their
own company as well as their peers.
Yep, that is a light bulb going off in your head. Analysts and Institutional Investors are primarily turning to the web for investment information. Still want to ignore online investor relations?
This is officially the 50th post I have made under my Small-Cap CEO Lessons category, which now means you have 50 irrefutable reasons to conduct online investor relations. In a nutshell, it is bigger, faster, more efficient, more cost effective, more effective and provides you with a far greater ROI than traditional investor relations.

SEC Sues Over Alleged $1.7M Pump and Dump of China Energy Savings Technology

In the interests of maintaining balance about my bullish views on Chinese small and mid cap stocks, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit against Jason Genet in a New York federal court alleging that he “pumped and dumped” the stock of China Energy Savings Technology for a profit of $1.7 million. China Energy completed a reverse merger in 2004.
Moral of the story. I love China and you can love China too – but make sure to do your due diligence each and every time you look at a new possible investment.
