AGORACOM client, Intertainment Media, has been making a lot of news lately. Financing, strategic alliances, mobile, U.S. expansion and – today- a big acquisition by its fine commercial printing subsidiary. The highlights are below.
As a client of AGORACOM, assume I am horribly conflicted about Intertainment and take a close look at the recent news + today’s news yourself. I love gold and resources right now – but responsible investing means diversity and you all know how much I love Web 2.0. Intertainment by far is Canada’s leading small-cap Web 2.0 company, which is why I’m starting to get really excited about the company’s future.
In the meantime, here are the highlights from today’s news, as well as, a link to the full release and other relevant links.
Intertainment closed on an agreement previously announced to acquire the print and graphic assets, print and graphics clients, programs and equipment of Dye & Durham, a division of The Cartwright Group Ltd., a leader in serving the legal, professional and business markets in Canada for 135 years.
Today’s Acquisition further establishes Magnum (a wholly owned subsidiary of Intertainment Media) as a leader in the graphics industry, building on the trusted service that it has provided clients for almost 25 years.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone in the development and growth of Intertainment’s divisional business strategy, integrating traditional businesses into co-operative online and conventional revenue models,” said David Lucatch, CEO of Intertainment Media Inc. “Both increased revenue and the added expertise of Al Monteath will enable Magnum to accelerate its online and on-demand graphics services business, increasing efficiencies and customer benefits, while dovetailing directly into other Intertainment platforms, including itiBiti, providing clients with both online and direct response business solutions.”

Good morning to you all. Â As many resource stock investors know, the Cambridge Conference just wrapped up this past weekend in Toronto and it included several great keynote presentations from the likes of Peter Grandich and John Kaiser. Â Unfortunately, geography limits the ability of most investors to attend these conferences and consume some of the great information.
As a result, AGORACOM went out of its way this year to make some of that important information accessible to investors around Canada, the USA and the world.  We have already posted some of those videos on the AGORACOM YouTube Channel and the AGORACOM blog.  We will continue to post many more over the next 2 days, so make sure to bookmark both of them.
To this end, I’m really happy to provide you with my interview with renowned market commentator, John Kaiser, of Kaiser Bottom-Fish Online.  John is fast becoming one of the leading authorities on Rare Earth Metals, a subject I am all too familiar with given AGORACOM’s investor relations work with Avalon Rare Metals between 2005-2008.  For those of you unfamiliar with rare earth metals (and you should be) they are are now vital to a growing number of applications in electronics, automotive, aerospace, alternative energy and environmental protection.  As Avalon says, they are the metals of the future.
In light of this, the following interview with John Kaiser is invaluable in helping you understand the importance of rare metals, their future and what to look for in a rare earth metals company in which you are considering making an investment. Â If you like what John has to say, take a closer look at his website and consider becoming a subscriber to his newsletter. Â It isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for.
The interview is a total of 10 minutes and 20 seconds long but due to YouTube’s 10-minute limit for uploaded videos, we had to splice the interview in 2 parts, which I’ve embedded below. For best sound quality, I suggest putting on your headset/earphones.

Peter Has Gone From E-Mail To Blogging To Podcasting and Now YouTube. Grandich 2.0!
Good afternoon to you all and thanks to everyone that came out this weekend. The feedback we received from investors/visitors to this blog was simply fantastic and has only furthered our resolve to continue delivering great content pertaining to Markets, Money and Life.
To this end, please find enclosed our 2-part show which was taped this weekend from the floor of the Cambridge Conference. It is in 2 parts because YouTube only allows videos up to 10 minutes, so part 1 is 9 minutes (hence, why you see me give the “chop” signal just before the 10-minute mark … remind me to beat our editor 🙂 and part 2 is 5 minutes.
The guys also needed time to come in and edit the video, which was especially difficult due to Peter’s demands that he look 10 years younger and a whole lot smarter … sorry Peter, we couldn’t get the Einstein hair to work 🙂
The amazing thing about all this is that Peter Grandich has now gone from delivering his newsletter/thoughts via direct mail, e-mail, blogging, podcasting and now YouTube.  Talk about re-inventing yourself. Way to go Petey.
Without further adieu, here are both parts of the interview. Yes, that is me wearing an Eli Manning Giants shirt. Peter is going to get it autographed and we are going to auction it off for his favourite charity.

The rally has taken Treasury yields — which move opposite the bonds’ price — to their lowest levels since spring, and have helped push mortgage rates to their lowest levels in three months. The Fed’s active presence has also raised questions of whether the rally is sustainable.
The Fed has accounted for half of all Treasury purchases in Q2 ($164 billion of total of $339 billion). Â Below we present data for what could be construed as a Treasury funding crisis borne out of lack of demand for longer maturities, once the QE portion of UST purchases expires. This crisis could hit as soon as October.
