AGORACOM Terminates IR Agreement With Nilam Resources

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:00 PM on Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Please be advised that AGORACOM has terminated its IR Agreement with Nilam Resources following the company’s 8K filing announcing the Company was unable to secure the financing necessary to complete a material acquisition.

Without this material acquisition, AGORACOM does not feel the opportunity is appropriate for further marketing to small-cap investors.

AGORACOM Runs 1st Client Ad On Bloomberg TV

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:07 PM on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Good afternoon to you all. Back on February 1st, we announced that our US Investor Relations programs would now include the ability to reach investors via Bloomberg Television and CNBC TV. These incredible tools were made available thanks to our powerful partners at Google, who are now handling offline ad space for the likes of (TV) Bloomberg, CNBC (Newspapers) New York Times (Radio) Clear Channel.

To this end, I’m proud to announce that our first Bloomberg Television began running in mid-June on behalf of our client Futuremedia. About 125,000 people have watched the ad so far and volume on FMDAY is much higher than normal.

Anecdotally, a partner from Washington called to advise they were watch Bloomberg the other day and nearly jumped out of their chair when I popped up on the screen. We’ve uploaded the commercial to YouTube for all to see. The quality isn’t as crisp as the actual playing version but you’ll get the idea.

Suffice it to say that we are really excited about this initiative and expect to be launching a few more campaigns in the coming weeks, including our very own AGORACOM ad. As always, we put our money where our mouth is by using the exact same tools we ask our clients to use.

Regards,
George

Ben Bernanke’s Days Are Numbered

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:02 PM on Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

As all of you know by now, I’ve been calling checkmate on the US Fed for 7 months now. In fact, I think it’s safe to call checkmate right now and it appears the folks over at Barclay‘s and RBS would agree.

As such, I’m now making another call – Big Ben’s days are numbered. To be fair, he didn’t have a chance. He inherited a pretty perilous credit/sub-prime situation that required forced him to keep rates low despite watching the inflation train coming right at him. I say “forced” for two reasons:

  • White House pressure from an administration that didn’t want to see epidemic foreclosure and subsequent homeless rates;
  • Wall Street pressure from a parade of bankers on CNBC that demanded lower and lower interest rates to save their hides.

Now, he has an inflation problem to add to the housing/credit/banking crisis that he could not solve despite super human efforts. Inevitably, one or both of these dominoes are going to tumble (no, they haven’t tumbled yet) and everyone is going to point the finger at Ben.

He won’t completely deserve it – but somebody has to take the blame. Ben will be replaced by the next US President.

George

Apple ($AAPL) Puts Are A Good Bet

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:53 AM on Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Clearly, the US consumer and economy are in trouble. Inflation in food and oil costs are sucking real money out of consumer pockets, re-financing homes is no longer an option and the markets had their worst June since the Great Depression. All of this adds up to a 28-year low in US consumer sentiment.

In this environment, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that discretionary spending is going to get hit hard in 2008 and I can’t think of a company with more discretionary products than Apple. Consumers may still want to buy MP3 players and smart phones but there are plenty of cheap alternatives to the iPod, iTunes and iPhone in the marketplace.

I am going to exercise PYMWYMI (Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is) and call for Apple to revisit $110 – $120 over the next 3-6 months. To capitalize on this, I am going to buy October puts in AAPL.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Regards,
George
