As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:
1] The obvious reason - China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:
1] The obvious reason - China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.
2] Great Results and Valuations - Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) with great financial results. Unlike many dubious US Small Cap Companies, Chinese Companies don't seem to believe in losing money or failing to execute in a business plan. As such, 7-digit revenues and profits are very common.
From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

- Reasons behind drops in the market and commodities
- The $USD Index
- Sovereign Debt Risk – Real or just a market excuse to go lower?

Evolving Gold (EVG:TSXV) Hits 158 Meters at 2.64 gpt Gold; Goes "Beyond The Press Release" In Interview With AGORACOM
Good evening to you all. Earlier today, AGORACOM Client Evolving Gold Corp released the final 23 holes at its Rattlesnake Hills project and released some spectacular intercepts such as 158 meters at 2.64 gpt Au, which includes 16.8 meters at 10.31 gpt Au.
As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact that Evolving Gold is a client of AGORACOM and do your own due diligence. To help you get started, I've included a link to the press release below. More importantly, I've also included a link to a 9-minute interview with EVG President and Chief Geologist, Quinton Hennigh, in which he discusses the importance of these results in layman's terms. If you are interested in Evolving Gold, this is a very worthy use of 9-minutes of your time.

- 158 meters at 2.64 gpt Au, includes 16.8 meters at 10.31 gpt Au
- 82 meters at 3.00 gpt Au, includes 6.1 meters at 16.97 gpt Au

Al Korelin - How AGORACOM Can Make You A Better Small-Cap Resources Investor
Good morning to you all. While on my recent trip to Vancouver, I had the pleasure of sitting down for an interview with Al Korelin, a stalwart in the small-cap resources industry and the person I consider to have the best radio/online show covering the world of small-cap resources. If you haven't discovered his site, make your way over there and take a look around.
More than just lip service, The radio show has entered syndication, available to 2.7 million radio listeners each week, and thousands more on the internet. As such, it was a bit of a thrill for me when Al approached me at the Cambridge Conference to request an interview with me.
The interview lasted 8 1/2 minutes and Al was gracious enough to discuss the benefits of using AGORACOM, as well as, how investors should be using the web to become better investors. More importantly, Al touched on a topic that has become very important to me – consolidating the best 10 – 12 minds in the space under one umbrella.
Thanks for a great interview Al.
Regards,
George

Armada Posts Record Q2: Revenue up 66% - Operating Income up 33%
Armada Posts Record Q2: Revenue up 66% – Operating Income up 33%
Armada Data Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ARD), the web-enabled Automobile Information Services Company that provides accurate and real-time pricing to institutional and retail customers has come out with Q2 results.
Remember that Armada Data is an AGORACOM client so as always assume I am horribly conflicted. Having said that, I will let the Armada Data news speak for itself. The following is a highlight of their Q2 numbers, as can be found in today's press release.
Highlights for the Quarter compared to the same quarter last year
- The Company reported the highest revenue in the Company's history
- Overall revenue grew from $453,046 last year to $750,628; an increase of 66%.
- Operating income (before amortization and stock-based compensation) grew from $50,056 to $66,660; an increase of 33%.

Browsers and Operating Systems Used By Small-Cap Investors
Given the fact AGORACOM attracted over 1.1 million annual unique visitors again in 2009, I think it's safe to assume our site represents about as good a sample of small-cap investors as any on the web. As such, here is some information I fished out of our Google Analytics on the browser and operating systems used by small-cap investors:
BROWSERS
Internet Explorer is still the unequivocal leader with > 70% share of small-cap investors. Personally, I abandoned IE a couple of years ago for Firefox and have recently moved onto Google's Chrome due to better speed and all the add-ons they provide. If you're an AGORACOM member/visitor, you should take 3 minutes to download each browser and test it out. It certainly won't hurt and can definitely help.
Of slight concern is the fact that 20% of AGORACOM IE users are still using IE6.
From GATA: Why Gold Will Keep Going Up For Years
Good evening to you all. I was on my way out the door for the weekend when I received the following e-mail message from Bill Murphy over at LeMetropole Cafe. It appears to be a transcript of a speech given by John Embry, The Canadian Gold Guru of Sprott Asset management, at The Cambridge Conference in Vancouver last week. It's a great read, especially considering the fact Embry has been calling gold correctly for years now. Here's what he had to say. I've reproduced the e-mail message in its' entirety, including links back to GATA and Le Metropole:
