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.

George

AGORACOM Becomes First Sponsor Of Money:Tech

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:04 PM on Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Good morning to you all. AGORACOM is very proud to announce our Platinum Sponsorship of the Money:Tech Conference . The conference is a collaboration between O’Reilly Media and entrepreneur/VC/renowned blogger Paul Kedrosky.

What is Money:Tech about? Kedrosky sums it up best with “the confluence of money and technology”

Given the impact AGORACOM has had on the small-cap world via our Web 2.0 technology approach to investor relations and discussion forums, the conference is a perfect fit and will give us an opportunity to showcase our model to the world. A model that has allowed us to:

  • Connect investors and small-cap principals via community rather, than the telephone and e-mail.
  • Give small-cap companies a chance to stand on their own two feet, rather than get taken advantage of by stock bashers.
  • Connect investors with each other to collaborate and exchange great information, leading to the best and most informed investment decision possible.

In the process, we’ve eliminated or diminished the following plagues from the process:

  • E-mail stock spam
  • Stock promoters
  • Discussion forum stock bashing and hyping
  • Discussion forum stock spam
  • Discussion forum profanity
  • Discussion forum flaming
  • Advertising

In short, we’ve created a community that both investors and companies have always dreamed of and deserved. The results speak for themselves. Happy investors, happy companies, happy AGORACOM.

Now, we’re going to take this message to Wall Street and show how the same principles can apply to mid and large-cap companies.

Regards,
George

Can We Trust Wall Street and The Watchdogs? Will Gold Rule The World?

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:14 AM on Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Good morning to you all. First, let me apologize for the hiatus. It hasn’t been a complete hiatus because I’ve seen most of you at the two large conferences we sponsored (and I delivered speeches at) over the last couple of weeks PIPEs Conference and Toronto Resource Investment Conference.

In addition, our “Investor Controlled Discussion Forums” launch continues to shake the world of small-cap discussion forums, as we broke through 400,000 page views on Thursday – and climbing. Most of you have been in daily contact with me via e-mail and posts around the site as I chose to personally get involved in tech support for the last 10 days.

I’m back now and I’ve got a great article for you to read, especially those of you that are investing in gold as a hedge against a US economic collapse. The gist of the article may not come as a surprise to you – but the underlying support for the article is compelling.

Moreover, the source of the article is Roger Ehrenberg, an ex–Wall Streeter and author of the financial blog Information Arbitrage – a blog I read religiously. In short, this guy knows what he is talking about. He isn’t fringe, he isn’t an extremist. He knows the game and he is spotting some real cracks in the system that, according to him, will result in significant market pain.

I can try and point out the highlights but this is a story worth reading. It can best be summarized by his opening paragraph:

The Root Cause of Today’s Market Turmoil?: It’s a Matter of Trust

Trust in our government. Trust in our financial institutions. Trust in those who play the role of “trusted adviser,” regardless of whether or not they are considered fiduciaries by law. After taking a big step back and asking the question “Why are the markets trading so poorly, and why are financial institutions in particular getting crushed?” the answer boiled down to one word: trust. Or the lack thereof, as seems to be the case today.

Great Saturday afternoon reading – and even better Monday morning investing.

Regards,
George
