AGORACOM Client Intelligence Report – September 2009

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:40 AM on Friday, September 11th, 2009

Welcome to all the new CEO’s and IRO’s who are receiving this month’s Small Cap Intelligence Report from AGORACOM Investor Relations.

WHY AN “INTELLIGENCE REPORT”

For the benefit of our new clients, we call this an “Intelligence Report” because it provides you with important information, data and trends that impact your business – information that you normally don’t have time to find.  We often write about these in The AGORACOM Blog, so we call these “On The Blog” Stories.

In addition, this article gives you a chance to look into our crystal ball and know what AGORACOM is working on months before the general public.  You can’t find these tidbits on our blog, so we call them “Off The Blog” and ask that you keep them confidential.  As you know, we move faster than any IR firm on the planet, so knowing what we’re doing in advance helps both of us coordinate our activities.  This is especially true for what we expect to be an extremely fast moving and exciting year.

In short, greater market intelligence that puts you ahead of all of your peers.

I can’t stress enough my recommendation that you review our monthly newsletter carefully for the purposes of incorporating some of our market intelligence into both your IR and business initiatives.

AGORACOM is now the largest small-cap IR firm and site on the continent thanks to our effective use of web technology.  As such, following us will help you achieve your goals.

This report gives you a quick review of the most important stories we’ve covered on the AGORACOM Blog over the last 30 days that either affect or help those involved in the small-cap market space.

In the future, if you’d like to read these stories as they happen just grab the RSS Feed here, bookmark or subscribe by email.

Enjoy!

AGORACOM Launches YouTube Channel + Multi-Site Video Distribution For All Investor Relations Clients

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:49 PM on Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I’m very happy to announce that AGORACOM has once again pioneered online investor relations for small and mid-cap companies via the distribution of client videos and webcasts throughout the world’s most popular video sites.

We view online videos as a critical component of online investor relations for its ability to convey important messages and images that simply are not possible via text.  This is especially true for small and mid-cap companies that do not enjoy mass brand or product awareness amongst investors.  Further evidence in support of an aggressive online video strategy comes from two recent articles posted to our blog here and here.

As such, as of today, we’re taking a significant step forward by providing our clients with the following:

  1. Every client Investor Relations HUB will now include a “YouTube” tab that provides shareholders with immediate access to all multi-media files, including pure video and webcasts.  AGORACOM - YouTube Tab
  2. All recent and future multi-media files will simultaneously be uploaded to some of the web’s biggest video sites including: YouTube, Yahoo Video, Metacafe, DailyMotion and Blip TV.  As a result, our client content will also be available via online video aggregators such as Google Video
  3. Every video will contain specific tags and descriptions to make them as search engine friendly as possible.  This will provide AGORACOM clients with the opportunity to be discovered by online investors that are neither familiar with the client, nor AGORACOM – but are searching for companies in a specific space.

We look forward to creating a massive library of globally distributed, content rich, targeted videos that will serve to continuously attract new investors to clients of AGORACOM, while providing current investors with greater access to powerful collateral information.

Regards,
George

More Than 1M Ounces Of Gold In 43-101 For AGORACOM Client – La Mancha Resources (LMA:TSX)

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:45 AM on Thursday, September 10th, 2009

First VMS 43-101 Resource Shows More Than 1 Million Ounces of Gold at La Mancha’s Hassai Property

La Mancha is an AGORACOM client, so assume that I am horribly conflicted and do your own due diligence. I personally love to see 43-101 news from anybody, not just AGORACOM clients, because it is a strict guideline for how public companies can disclose scientific and technical information about mineral projects on bourses supervised by the Canadian Securities Administrators.  In short, it makes it near impossible to sprinkle gold on your property and pull of a scam.

Here are some of the highlights of today’s release, which you should also read in its entirety.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 1,006,000 ounces of gold (402,400 oz attributable to La Mancha)
  • 297,000 tonnes of copper (118,800 tonnes attributable to La Mancha)
  • Confirmation of an enriched supergene zone at the top of the structure
  • Resource remains open at depth
  • La Mancha reaffirms its target of growing its consolidated M&I resources to 4 million ounces of gold within the next few years

ABOUT THE HASSAI MINE

The Hassai mine is located in the Red Sea Hills desert of northeastern Sudan, some 450 km from Khartoum. Inaugurated in 1992, it is Sudan’s first and only gold mine in production. Twelve pits have been mined over the years, generating a cumulative production of more than 2.1 million ounces of gold. La Mancha owns 40% of the mine through a subsidiary and is the mine operator. The Hassai exploration licenses effectively encompass the entire geological district that extends over 24,000 square kilometres. The Hassai mine exploration budget is expected to reach $6.44 million in 2009 ($2.57 million attributable to La Mancha), distributed among several gold targets (quartz, SBR and tailings) and VMS targets.

Who Watches AGORACOM YouTube Videos? Surprise, Surprise. Investors Aged 45 – 54 Dominate.

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:05 AM on Thursday, September 10th, 2009

AGORACOM YouTube Dems - 01 0909

If you’re the CEO / IRO of a small to mid-cap company and (erroneously) think that one good reason for not conducting online investor relations is the age of the target market – think again.  What you are looking at above are the demographics of investors that tune into AGORACOM Small-Cap TV via YouTube and it reveals the following.

  • 80% of viewers range between 35-64.
  • 40% of vieweres range between 45-54
  • 22% of viewers range between 55-64
  • 19% of viewers range between 35-44
  • 21% of viewers are females (Is that my good looks or because they feel sorry for me?) 🙂

(The figures won’t add up to 100% because we are cross-referencing the same age groups, so look at each statistic independantly.)

OLDER INVESTORS ARE PROGRESSIVE – WATCHING YOUTUBE FOR FINANCIAL CONTENT

What is really striking about these stats is the fact we are not talking about visitors to general finance sites.  Afterall, we clearly know that investors of all ages (i.e. my semi-retired Greek immigrant father) utilize AGORACOM, Yahoo Finance, Globe Investor and other finance sites.

Rather, what is striking about these stats is they are telling me (and you) that older investors are using YouTube – the ultimate fun site for young people – to watch serious financial content.   As such, I can only conclude that older, more sophisticated investors are far more progressive when it comes to online research than most of us may have originally thought.

FEMALE INVESTORS ARE MORE ACTIVE ONLINE THAN OFFLINE

What I also find interesting is the fact that female investors make up 21% of the audience.  Now this is anecdotal but I know that female investors do not make up 21% of the audience at offline events such as AGM’s and conferences.  As such, though the data set is far too narrow at this point, it provides another great potential reason for taking your investor relations online.

CONCLUSION

The trend towards online investor relations is unstoppable.  With YouTube video demographics so heavily skewed towards older and more sophisticated investors, it no longer makes sense to continue ignoring online investor relations.  The potential bonus of being better able to reach female investors only further supports the argument.

If you don’t have an IR strategy that incorporates – at the very least – search engine targeting of new investors, electronic shareholder forums for current shareholders and online video to showcase your company beyond text – then it’s time to get one.  Otherwise, you’re only hurting your company and its shareholders.

George

In Celebration Of Gold $1,000, 15 Great Gold Juniors For You To Choose From

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:31 AM on Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

As soon as gold crossed over $1,000 yesterday, the lines lit up on CNBC, Bloomberg, BNN and online.  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:

TimothySykes Gold Request

I anticipated requests like this would come in from all over the web, so we’ve put together a quick snapshot of 15 gold stocks / AGORACOM Clients.  Yes, assume I am horribly conflicted and do your 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

Investor Relations Fail: SEC Charges Two Canadians

If Jay Budd of Toronto and John Briner of Surrey, British Columbia were readers of this blog, they would realize that pump and dump and other short-term investor relations schemes are pretty much futile.  Instead both have been charged with fraud in connection with the company, Golden Apple Oil & Gas Inc.

According to the SEC’s complaint, from the fall of 2004 through May 2006 the defendants illegally sold stock and issued false and misleading press releases about Golden Apple’s success, first as a seller of home warranties and then as an oil and gas exploration company.

When will these guys learn?

Labor Day Marks The Beginning Of Trading Season. Is Your Investor Relations Plan Set?

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:35 AM on Monday, September 7th, 2009

Though I always wish summer could continue for just a few more weeks, I have to admit to a great level of excitement when Labor Day comes because it marks the beginning of trading season. As an investor relations professional, this is what I live for.

Officially, I believe trading season begins on the Monday following Labor Day (September 14th) as investment professionals get settled back in and parents prepare their kids for school re-entry. As such, this week serves more as a countdown to the beginning of the race. (Conversely, it ends on June 30th as North Americans mark July 1st and 4th holidays).

If you’re the CEO of a small to mid-cap public company, you  should both be taking your place on the track and preparing to execute your strategy.  If you’re unprepared, you need to start moving quickly.  If you need help preparing, then make sure to contact AGORACOM to begin a complete program that can be up and running in just 2 weeks.

I wish you all both a great Labor Day and a great trading season.

Regards,
George
