AGORACOM Request For Mahalo Search Terms Related To Small-Cap Stock Sector

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:39 PM on Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Many of you will recall our announcement that we were sponsoring TechCrunch40. Some of you didn’t quite see the connection between a small-cap community and a Web2.0 conference. The answer, quite simply, is there was no connection. Rather, the sponsorship was our coming out party and introducing our kick-ass small-cap community to the Silicon Valley crowd.

It worked. We made great contacts with VC’s, bloggers and other influential people.

One of those people was Jason Calacanis. In addition to being half-Greek (major pointage) he’s also considered a pretty serious mover and shaker in the business. His latest project is Mahalo, the world’s first people powered search engine, where they’ve completed over 20,000 pages in short order and have a couple of hundred folks creating them in real time.

In a true demonstration of the power of the Web, Mahalo has started a program where they will take requests for search results from the public. We’re not one to pass up a great opportunity, so we’ll take Jason and his crew up on the offer. As such, on behalf of the entire small-cap industry, we respectfully request Mahalo to build the following search terms (and some self-serving suggestions to get them going).

Given the rabid nature of small-cap investors, as well as, our rabid growth in the space due to implementation of smart Web 2.0 tools, Mahalo should do well with the following “MahaloToDo” list:

Small-Cap Stocks

Hope this helps. Thanks to Mahalo for any effort they can provide on behalf of the good side of the small-cap industry.

Regards,
George

Forget $100 Oil (Part 2) – Jim Rogers Joins JF Tardif In Calling For $200 Oil, US Recession and Greenback Pain

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:38 AM on Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

<And Then There Were 2>

On Friday, November 9, we posted the following AGORACOM Exclusive interview with JF Tardif (read the post for his superior credentials) in which he unequivocally called for $200 oil. That was a pretty big call to make but given JF’s track record, you have to give him serious consideration – even if it is was a lone wolf call (not including threats by Iran and Venezuela). I struck out “is” because JF is no longer alone when it comes to acclaimed Hedge Fund Managers.

Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund along with billionaire investor George Soros, made the call for $200 oil on Monday from Singapore.

“Over the course of the bull market, oil has to go to $150 (U.S.), it has to go to $200, because nobody’s been discovering oil.”

We haven’t even cracked the magic $100 mark yet but that now seems to be a foregone conclusion – at least according to pretty damn smart guys. Like JF, Rogers didn’t stop at $200 oil. He also stated the following:

  • It is time to sell your $US assets. He is taking all of his assets out of $US as fast as possible.
  • The US is already in recession, or on the brink of recession.
  • The US dollar is going to be in trouble for years. Favor the Swiss Franc, Yen and Yuan.
  • His oil call is not a short-term forecast – but the long-term trend is clear
  • Demand from China, India, Pakistan and Vietnam will offset and US weakness and drive the bull market.

What is important to note hear is that neither JF, nor Rogers are sitting on the fence. Neither are making the annoying “this could happen but it also might not” proclamations. These are two very successful hedge fund managers that don’t appear to be hedging their bets. Oil up, commodities up, US economy down, US dollar down.

Is it that obvious? If so, you’ve been given a treasure map that leads straight to a pot of gold … and a barrel of oil. Time to find real small and micro-cap companies that will benefit from this.

Regards,
George

Forget $100 Oil, Sprott Star Hedge Fund Manger – Jean-Francois Tardif – Calls For $200 Oil, Higher Gold and More US Sub-Prime Pain

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:28 PM on Friday, November 9th, 2007

JF Tardif

It wasn’t long ago that calls for $100 oil were looked upon as simply “wild” predictions of analysts looking to garner attention. Maybe we should have paid closer attention and profited from those crazy turned reality predictions. In case you didn’t, you have a chance to redeem yourself because oil – according to Jean-Francois (AKA “JF”) Tardif – is going to $200.

Now, before you go making the same mistake all over again and call JF another analyst looking for attention, you might first want to consider the fact that Barron’s just ranked his Sprott Opportunities Fund as the #18 Hedge Fund on the planet.

In addition, he was recently awarded “Best Canada Based Manager” at the HFM US Performance Awards.

JF is a renowned and very successful Senior Fund Manager with Sprott Asset Management. He achieved his prestigious ranking and award thanks to his performance with the Sprott Opportunities Hedge Fund where he posted average annual cumulative returns of more than 33% over the past 3 years. As such, when Jean-Francois Tardif speaks, you probably want to hear what he has to say.

Fortunately, you can listen to our interview with him via our newly launched content partnership with GlobeInvestor.com – the AGORACOM Small-Cap Energy and Resources HUB. (I know, that’s a doozy unto itself but I’ll talk about that later). In the interview, he discussed the global supply squeeze taking place in both oil and gold, as well as, why he sees even more sub-prime pain for the US in 2008 (Hint: You may not want to be walking on Wall Street in May 2008).

In case you are reading this post well after November 9th, 2007, you can also find the interview archived on our industry leading Podcast site – SmallCapPodcast.com

See you at $200.

Regards,
George
