Very interesting... but at that cost I'll pass...

 

[jshepherd]

It sure is an expensive report. I think I'll have to pass on that one too. It would be pretty depressing if one were to pay for it and find nothing of significant value.

 

[Caitlin]

Which is likely. I wonder if anyone has heard of this group? Maybe they're from Nigeria. I thought it might deserve going into the bunko file thread.

Hi Caitlin,

Can you give a summary of what this all means. I really can't make head nor tail of what it all means. Plus what the other guys said. Just like coming into something in the middle something. Confusing!!

They claim they have surveyed, assayed and measured the world pearl market and they want people to pay an exorbitant amount to buy their report- sight unseen. In my view, they are unknown ie, have no known credentials. Who would need this report? Mansang? I doubt it. They know how they are doing. Maybe it is for choosing what pearl Company to invest in. The price might be OK to check before you spend a 100k to underwrite a crop or something.

Maybe investors can tell what small pearl farms would be worth investing in./

I am guessing. I am clueless. Someone needs to set me straight.

 

[Ramona]

I think it will be very simple. Either the economy recovers and pearls will be a good investment with plenty of people to sell to or we will have a hell of a ride for the next couple of years and everybody is afraid to spend money. They for sure will not know the future.

 

[Valeria101]

Wait a minute, it seems that the same source produces similar reports for a handful of industries. Hard to believe these things may have been honest work...

These are many respected and bona fide financial and consultancy firms who produce reports like this on many different industries around the world for global investment, forecasting and business reasons
