Update on wealthtoolbox

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:27:00 +0000

Hi all, here's a quick update on wealthtoolbox:

What is HiveAttack?	We are developing a new computer program designed to analyze financial markets. The goal is to create a highly advanced prediction engine that will alert us when stock or currency prices are about to move up or down. The computing power required to reach our goal will be absolutely massive. It could take years on a very powerful super-computer, at a cost of millions of dollars.
That's where you come in...	In place of a super-computer, we've decided to link together tens of thousands of personal computers. Each person that joins will contribute a little to the overall processing power, but in the end, we expect to have more computing power than we could get from a super-computer.
Why call it HiveAttack?	Just like worker bees in a hive, each person that joins will contribute a little bit to the goal of the group. Essentially, we're swarming together to 'attack' a problem that is far bigger than any one of us could handle.
How it will work...	Anyone can join and contribute a bit of their computing power. Those who do will be assigned a portion of the profits as we analyze and invest in various financial markets. As more and more people join (and contribute to the overall processing power), we expect to get closer and closer to our goal of designing a highly accurate financial market prediction engine. Once working, we'll use it to benefit the entire group.
So, are you with us?	Again, undertaking a project of this scope will take massive amounts of processing power, and many people joining together. However, we believe the results will be well worth it in the end. Our target payout date for contributor earnings is January 15, 2009...less than a year away. We need your spare computer processing power! Join now to help us reach our goal. Oh yea, see the previous post below to join.

WealthToolbox free to join if you want!

Well, I guess I have neglected this blog for quite a long time because I am looking for better opportunities elsewhere. I think right now hyips and autosurfs are out of question. Join at your own risk... Anyway here's the idea about wealthtoolbox:

The wealthtoolbox is a managed forex trading with a free long term investment account that offers a free $100 bonus upon joining and will pay out to your PayPal account after 24 months. No risk here!

If you don’t login your account over a month, wealthtoolbox will close it and all funds within your account will be forfeited.

Just remember to check your account time to time....

Global Pension Plan looks good?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:15:00 +0000

I have been getting updates from GPP and the number of members are increasing, they could reach the target faster now I guess. Here's straight from the mailbox:

TIME-LINE FORECAST

Monday 12th March 2007, 0900hours GMT

Member Count: 41,224

Members joining this week: 1,403

Members who joined last week: 1,359

We forecast the time to reach 100,000: 27 weeks (September)

Available 'Compensation': €3,232,680,000

Available 'Loyalty Rewards': € 1,410,624,000

'Loyalty Rewards' earned/accrued this week: € 33,672,000

Thanks to TeamTHEMCO for providing the above data.

***********

Dear Members,

Please pay attention to this message as it contains
important information that may affect you and your
Compensation.

Short version:

If you are 27 years of age or younger,
you will now receive 110,000EUR Compensation. If
you are 28 years of age or older, you will receive
the original 55,000EUR Compensation.

Long version:

When we first planned Global Pension Plan it was
suggested that we offered a tiered compensation
structure to reflect the different premium rates
for people of different ages.

During market research, we found that we were
unable to accurately determine the average age our
membership would attract. Reports ranged from 25
years to 60 years.

Eventually we decided to stick to one compensation
structure to keep the system simple and allow us
time to calculate the average age of members

Needless to say, we erred on the side of safety
and offered only the lowest tier of compensation as
we didn't have an accurate idea of the average age
of investors - we couldn't afford to take the
chance and pay out the higher rate and then
discover we couldn't fulfil the compensation because
the average age was too high.

At this time, we have over 40,000 members and
we've found that the average age is a lot lower
than we expected - largely due to parents signing
up children. We will therefore pay out a lot
lower premiums and creating a surplus of funds.

Analysis of our demographics has shown that we can
create a tiered compensation structure as originally
planned.

We have set the cut-off age at 27 as after this,
the premiums start to increase rapidly.

The new compensation structure works like this:

If you are 27 years of age or younger at the time
of the documents are signed, you are now eligible
to receive 110,000EUR.

If you are 28 years of age or older at the time
of the documents are signed, you are eligible to
receive the original 55,000EUR.

This change in compensation structure is
effective immediately and the software will be
updated to reflect the change.

Please note, this change in compensation structure
will not effect the Loyalty Program Rewards.

Q&A:

Q. How much am I compensated when the plan matures?
A. Global Pension Plan has two tiers when it comes
to compensation.

If you are 27 years of age or younger at the time
of the documents are signed, you are now eligible
to receive 110,000EUR.

If you are 28 years of age or older at the time
of the documents are signed, you are eligible to
receive the original 55,000EUR.

The reason for the difference is due to the
lower premiums we pay for younger people. The price
sharply increases past the age of 28.

If you have any questions about this improvement
to the service we provide, please don't hesitate
to contact us.

Regards,

Stella & The Trust Partner

Seems like I will be getting 110,000EUR. Heehee...
Anyway, I am not saying you should join but just that it looks good with constant updates and stuff, maybe it's true or it's not but the risk is not much :)

Join here if you wish.

NSFG starting to look better?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 15:36:00 +0000

Good Morning Everyone,

Well what could be better after a terrible start to the year than to bag a great return in the very next month, and a great return is what we have managed to achieve coming in at 19.57% for the Month of February!!

Before I go into the market conditions and overview for the month I want to confirm something about withdrawals. They need to be made before the close of play of the 15th of the month. They will then be paid out AROUND THE 25TH, not bang on it!! The money needs to leave the trading account, get wired into our bank account, then get wired into the egold exchanger, who then credits our egold account and I do the transfers to your account. Because there are two wires involved it all depends on how the weekends fall as to how quickly this sorted. We have been doing this now for nearly a year and a half this way and yet people still email me on the 25th asking me where their money is. Sorry to moan but I thought I would tell you all again enmass so your aware :-)

I will be sending the statements out to you tomorrow, and apologize in advance if you get a few copies of it as I sometimes have to restart the software. I have had a few emails already since the monthly result has already got out about what we add to the pot since the question was asked. Up until the last week the Pool was about an extra 1% in front of the MA's but during the last week they had a few extra positions which were stopped out which dropped them behind the MA's. We added the funds at the end of the month to build the return back up to the MA figure. 95% of the time the MA and pool has exactly the same trades on them, there are just the odd occasion where Ken adds to the Pool account position if the market conditions warrant it, sometimes this works out, sometimes it doesn't. We only do it knowing that we have the funds to back it up if it doesn't work out, so it is essentially risk free, just wanted to make you aware of what went on behind the scenes.

This update is intended to give everyone a view as to how our new strategies are working. The shift from mainly trading intra-daily to mainly trading daily and intra-weekly has produced much better results as we have stronger setups with higher probability of success. We have been able to book more than + 1,000 pips in February because the setups have caught the big moves and we have quickly dropped the losing trades. I want to point out however that even though this month has been spectacular all around, it should not form a general consensus or benchmark for the future monthly results. We are still "only" working to achieve a solid + 5% gain as the monthly average and we break this down into achievable weekly targets.

Our second trader Kelvin is currently trading 25% of the entire NSFG fund and has settled in during the month of February. He is getting more experienced around the BGC trading platform and both Ken and Kelvin communicate on a regular basis sharing market views and thus been able to support each other in that way. Kelvin trades more intra-daily than Ken but with a slight different approach and we both feel this is working well in conjunction with Ken's daily trades. Kelvin will continue to develop as a trader and contribute to the overall trading results in the months and years to come.

We booked a 7th consecutive winning week last week using this strategy and in the coming week we will remain very risk averse and only take high probability setups on the daily time frames. By doing this we avoid risking a larger portion of the already earned profits and we can slowly start building up some profit in March so we can be a bit more aggressive when the opportunity warrants such a strategy. The coming week is looking very interesting indeed and following the carry trade liquidation at the end of last week there are some very good potential setups to be had.

All in all it is looking extremely promising for the future, and as I mentioned last month, the shock of the large loss in Jan forced us to implement this method of trading which I predicted would be a price worth paying. So far it certainly has as Ken has considerably more control over the trading and when backed up by Kelvine they are performing extremely well. If we can continue trading like this, and there is no reason why we can not as there were no special circumstance last month, then we should get all our balances back to their proper levels in as short a time as possible. I do want to re-iterate though that we will continue to aim for 100 pips a week and if we get more then its a bonus, large return months such as this should not be expected by you but we are very confident of decent positive returns nonetheless.

As always, if you have any questions or queries please do give me a yell, and have a great week!

Paul"

That was what was found in my mailbox, I have no idea how my $30 have turned into but probably it will take quite a lot of time to recover back to the original investment amount, at least they seem like they are here to stay which is at least a good sign.

sorry for neglecting this blog at the moment.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:52:00 +0000

Well, I guess I may be losing audience in my blog, I am thinking of converting my blog to forex blog maybe or a mix of money making opportunities but I find that I am lazy well haha...
The truth is I am not too bothered with hyips at the moment... just not safe to trust idiots who run away with your money.90% of traders lose money in forex, how about hyips? probably around there as well or more? I don't know but which is safer? I guess the answer lies with yourself, your risk assessment. I hope to catch up with some updates on my hyip programs by this weekend... cya

Ibizatraders - just a piece of junk!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 11:32:00 +0000

Dear Investors,

In spite of our efforts we unfortunately have to inform you that Ibizatraders didn’t make it. By the end of November we had to report you a big draw down. If such a draw down has to be made up during a 2 to 3 months period it is obvious we had to take substantial risks in our books. As per the end of December we positioned ourselves for a big move up in all currencies against the US$, such according to general market expectations at that moment. Surprisingly to the markets and ourselves such moves did not materialize. In fact just everything one can trade against USD went down, from currencies to commodities, from precious metals to energy. Although we had our stops somewhere down the line this couldn’t prevent us taking big losses again. The situation got desperate and we were, unfortunately forced to finish our operations.

We understand that most of you are very disappointed and some even angry or frustrated. Well, so are we. I know it offers very little solace but we have been working for almost a year now on Ibizatraders (including the preparations). The undersigned also spend a lot of money and time on this project and never earned a penny neither. In fact he lost most of his savings as well in trading. Apart from the material aspect he also lost the most precious of all: his reputation, which can’t be expressed in money!

If there are still disbelievers as to the honesty of this fund: a copy of the trading account activity will be sent to Bluemax of Hyip Navigator so there won’t be any doubt left as far as that is concerned. We understand that many of you might have individual questions, remarks, reproaches etc. As it will be impossible to me to answer or react on everything posted we decided to take the site down; besides it won’t help or change anything. As I do not want to be straight away unavailable for comments or questions I kindly request you to call me up on my home phone, everybody’s question will be addressed. For the few that might want to contact or warn the authorities I can only say: please do so. Ibizatraders is a legitimate fund and hasn’t anything to hide. We would gladly cooperate with any authority that contacts us. Ibizatraders went down due to losses on trading and not of stealing. Once again we would like to stress that this closure is very difficult for us and we want you to be sure we feel terrible for what went wrong after all the confidence you gave us. We won’t be active anymore in the markets, online or offline, so we retire from it. If you see sites coming up in the future using the name Ibizatraders or something similar or the undersigned name please mind it won’t be us but a fake.

Sincerely.
Peter Ris

Okay, I do not want to keep rambling about this kind of program. If u want to play with forex, learn yourself, don't trust these idiots who claim to know how to earn money from forex.

After a year in hyips, all I can say is 99% of programs are bullshit... I am still staying in this game, probably have another program to introduce next week but I will keep my stakes to lesser programs.I can probably say that you should go for programs with higher interest returns, seems better with regards to those programs which promise 10% per month and fails to deliver. DD is useless, so don't bother reading any DD... hyips are short term... Putting money in other people's hand is definitely not the way to go if you want to think and grow rich this way, you are probably going to suffer. I speak this from experience... Currently, I have removed all programs I am monitoring and I am probably not going to list much programs in the future except PP01 may be opened again in march probably...

I don't know whether I will close this blog or maybe I change it to something else. If I lost in ibizatraders it would only be $250 so nothing much to complain about... would probably update my portfolio as well if time permits. Bye

Global Pension Plan looking good!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 07:02:00 +0000

Straight from the mail:
"
Dear GPP Members,

Today I have some fantastic news for you!

For the last 5 months we have been
negotiating with a member of GPP who
owns a large corporation in China.

Last week, the deal was finally
signed and sealed and now I can formally
tell you about the details of this deal.

Mr. Zheng Zhu of the Ningbo import and
export company, which employs over
10,000 people in China has signed a
deal with us to signup all of his
employees to the Global Pension Plan
opportunity.

As I'm sure you can imagine, this is
a major boost to our program and sets
us on track to have a very special
2007!

The precise number of new members
is 10,837.

As always, GPP is committed to keeping
the members updated, and I've been
bursting to tell you all about this
great news ever since Mr. Zhu first
approached us back in July!

Please let your downline know about
this great news.

Regards,
Stella. "

This looks really promising and you really only need to pay a small price and get much bigger returns. :p

Come and join me here.

There's a bit of information on 'lazyman's portfolio' on this program. My portfolio is not exactly updated but will try to update asap. Not looking to join too many programs but will eventually join a few. If you are would like to follow the programs I join, you may need to be a bit more patient.

Udachu programs go private...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 17:06:00 +0000

I am sure quite a number of you may have withdrawn from udachuinvest or sgfh, but that could be a mistake. Anyway, they have closed their doors completely now but I am still inside this program thankfully as I see potential in them still. Refunds were done fast but a lot of hard work.

As for those who are in Udachu's program, hope we will be able to see good results consistently :p

Just an extract from the forum by Udachu CEO:
"
I understand that a lot of people knew very little about us and thought if there was a refund then it would be a good time to get out. Unfortunately once the refunds are done the name is deleted from the database. No records are kept of old members. And no new members will ever be added to any of the funds. They are closed to new investors on a permanent basis.
"
Stay tuned to my blog as I may introduce another new program during the beginning of February. I have updated my program list on the left sidebar.

TFT and Taiwan Earthquake

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 08:01:00 +0000

TFT update:

There is going to be a twofold change to TFT.

We have had a few problems with the earning vehicles used for TFT. My sense of why is connected to the recent actions of e-gold and a perceived dropping of confidence in them. Comments by many that e-gold was going to close has added to the general decline. While this is not my position - the way that we used to generate returns has been steadily dropping. Looking for the right alternatives is a daily process.

Steadily dropping returns has meant that some incoming were used to pay existing obligations.

The decline started early December and accelerated throughout the month. This has caused a cash flow issue .

Within the HYIP arena there are such things as private placements - they tend to be “those things you hear about but never actually eventuate.” My reading and research has shown them to be real - but previous to now I have not been able to access one directly.

This has changed over the last little while.

The reality part is that I cannot say a whole lot about it but I can assure you and reassure you that I have done my homework.

This opportunity (high risk though it is) is one that I plan to capitalize on.

The downside - the placement fees are high - we are talking serious money here.

So after much discussion here is what I am going to do.

All available TFT funds are to be diverted to this opportunity. This amount still does not meet the minimum required so the following will happen.

Payouts will stop - for the course of the trade.

TFT incoming spends will go to the placement.

TFT will close on 3 January (1 week)

ALL spends (all existing/outstanding ones + all new ones) will be paid in full as of January 31.

To be clear - no more TFT payouts till Jan 31 then EVERYONE gets paid.

Additionally a place in the forum will be set up for those who wish to participate more directly in the placement. Access to that is going to be at my discretion. I cannot empahise enough that this is a private offer. I cannot and will not dicuss publicly.

Participation will be via e-gold - that doesn’t change.

Maximum amount to invest is under review.

One more thing - once the amount needed to participate is reached all offers will be closed. We will not accept more than we need. Period.

Now this is not a “going private” thing. It is an opportunity to pool funds to participate in a private arrangement.

I also know (extremely well) that this is going to cause some discussion dissention crtiticism etc. I accept that - just as - on opening the program I accepted the responsibility to generate the returns to you in the most efficient manner possible.

To head off queries -the most obvious being could TFT continue - based on the current (right now) trend - No. Could we trade out? I was and am going to try - and this is the option I have decided upon.

Are refunds available - No they aren’t.

I had previously stated that if and when TFT closed everyone would be happy. This closure is sooner than I thought - but I am adjusting to the circumstance.

It is my real belief that although the delay of payout until 30 days may cause some (a lot?) of pain for some, the fact that the program will payout every member in entirety is a plus.

Now the other thing I need to mention. I reckon you have heard this spiel before - I think I have heard things along similar lines. Why should you believe me? To answer that I can only say that I am going into this trade openly and will keep people posted along the way as to progress. I am not closing the forum - nor XLO (which is it’s own distinct program). I am working to provide each and every one of you the return you were after - circumstance has dictated that this will take longer than originally thought.

In closing - I take full responsibility for this decision. I understand that is not going to be popular to all - but it is my thought out and considered opinion that it is the best option for everyone.

Your comments are always welcome.

Andy

Well, it is not yet 6 months but they are planning to close on January 3rd next week. It is still the month of December. Let's hope better things to come in 2007.

Rog's program, I have written it off but it is still under scam warning in HYIPD program. January 15th is the final date, after which I would put it under scam.

Happy New Year to all readers!!! Yeah, it is coming... Due to bad internet connection, I was put off by the idea of logging in to blog, but lately things have gone better, still have slow internet access to overseas websites.

My wish list would include having better internet connection:

Taken from yahoo news:

SINGAPORE: Despite the distance, Tuesday night's earthquake in Taiwan made its presence felt in Singapore.

Internet providers StarHub and SingTel say the earthquake caused disruptions to the undersea cables, resulting in slow internet access to some sites.

Both companies say internet traffic diversion and restoration works are currently underway.

SingTel adds that its undersea cable system with Europe was not affected. - CNA/so

Asia quakes damage cables; Internet, banks affected

SINGAPORE, Dec 27 (Reuters) - Telecommunications around Asia were severely disrupted on Wednesday after earthquakes off Taiwan damaged undersea cables, slowing Internet services and hindering financial transactions,

Banks and businesses across the region reported problems with communications, with telephone lines and Internet access cut or slowing to a crawl.

South Korea's top fixed-line and broadband service provider, KT Corp , said in a statement that six submarine cables were knocked out by Tuesday night's earthquakes.

"Twenty-seven of our customers were hit, including banks and churches," a KT spokesman said. "It is not known yet when we can fully restore the services."

Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom said two of four major undersea cables out of Taiwan had been affected.

Voice circuits had been reduced to 40 per cent of capacity to the United States, 11 per cent to Japan, 10 per cent to mainland China and just 2 per cent to most parts of Southeast Asia.

Banks in Seoul said foreign exchange trading had been affected.

"Trading of the Korean won has mostly halted due to the communication problem," said a dealer at one domestic bank.

The main quake, measured by Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau at magnitude 6.7 and at magnitude 7.1 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck off Taiwan's southern coast at 1226 GMT on Tuesday. Two people were killed.

PCCW , Hong Kong's main fixed-line telecoms provider, said several undersea cables it part-owned had been damaged. "Data transfer is down by half," a spokeswoman said.

Some disruption was also reported in the Tokyo currency market, but the EBS system through which much dollar/yen trading is conducted appeared to be working, traders said.

KDDI Corp. , Japan's second-largest telecoms company, said communications along submarine cables out of Japan went through Taiwan before reaching Southeast Asian countries, which was leading to disruption.

But KDDI said communications were unlikely to break down completely since there were alternative lines.

Singapore Telecommunications , Southeast Asia's top phone company, said some customers were suffering slow access to Internet pages and other data.

But it said traffic was being diverted and repair work was in progress, adding: "Our submarine cables linking to Europe and the U.S. are not affected."

Singapore's second-largest telecoms firm, StarHub Ltd. , said its customers were experiencing slower connection to some international Web sites because of the cable problems.

"We are re-routing traffic to other cables," a StarHub spokesman said.

I guess they have done some rerouting, probably that's why surfing experience is at least better for now, but of course the biggest concern would be those trading for a living. Bad internet connections can really kill....

Agloco updates

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 05:28:00 +0000

Straight from my mailbox:

"
First - Thank you for becoming an AGLOCO Member during our beta phase.
And second – Thank you for referring new Members to AGLOCO and helping to build the company.

Here is what you, the Membership, have accomplished:

AGLOCO is four weeks old and it has already signed up tens of thousands of Members, created enormous 'buzz' (over 700,000 pages in Google's search results talk about AGLOCO) and established a website more popular than Toyota's or Ford's or Bloomingdales or Kmart's (it took YouTube 8 months to do that).

In addition to building the AGLOCO network, we have been working on the AGLOCO Viewbar which is now scheduled for release in seven to ten weeks.

You may know that we started a campaign to sign up 10,000,000 Members by July 1st, 2007.

While we know this is an ambitious goal, we also know the power of an Internet based network (several Members already have over a 1000 referrals - See below for examples):

So here is what you as a Member can do right now to help AGLOCO (and help yourself):

Recruit at least 5 more new Members in the next thirty days
- if each new Member does this, we will reach our goal of 10,000,000 Members by May

For every five new referrals you get (direct or extended) doubles your AGLOCO income
- over 90 percent of our Membership joins through a referral email from an existing Member so we have provided a new sample at the end of this update.

To help you we have also listed a couple of blogs that our Members have created to share ideas on how to obtain referrals, as well links to two successful Members who have over a thousand referrals.

Ideas
http://aglocoideas.blogspot.com/(good site for ideas for obtaining referrals – sample emails etc.)

Two successful recruiters:
http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com/blog/ (over 6,000 referrals)
http://www.johnchow.com/the-agloco-viewbar/ (over 1,700 referrals)

Two'fun AGLOCO sites'
http://aglocovideo.blogspot.com/ (a Malaysian video in English)
http://www.aglocotest.com/ (A newbie diary)

Sample referral email:

I am a member of AGLOCO. It has a goal of reaching 10,000,000 Members by July 1st.

Here is why I would like you to consider joining:

1. AGLOCO pays you, as an Internet user, your fair share of the value created while you surf.
2. The AGLOCO's free software puts you in control of what arrives on your screen and what data you allow outsiders to collect.
3. AGLOCO is a 100% Member owned company which rewards the Members who help build the company. It never costs anything to be a Member

AGLOCO is only four weeks old and it has already signed up tens of thousands of Members and has created enormous Internet 'buzz' (over 700,000 pages in Google's search talk about AGLOCO).

AGLOCO is not a 'get rich' quick scheme. Every additional Member raises the value of all the Members, so we all get more if you join

It is free to join and Membership never costs anything. Click here to read more and sign up now. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBB5626
Thanks

Currently there is no viewbar, but will come later :) Guess I am not so much of a promoter. Not even close to 3 digit signups lol, but anyway do join me if you are interested because it is free. I believe 10 millions is quite possible to reach with the current state of internet advertising and you can easily refer to friends and family members so why not? :)

I will try to update one or 2 times per week. There doesn't seem to be much to update well perhaps recently there's a scam warning on Rog's program(high risk category) and Marcos is still unable to refund us yet but is trying...

A cut and paste from the website:

The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.

The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.

Some people have asked: “Is the Viewbar™ some kind of ‘spyware’?” The answer is simple: The Viewbar™ is the opposite of spyware. Spyware sneaks onto your computer without your knowledge or permission, it steals your private information, and it’s nearly impossible to remove. Unlike spyware, the Viewbar™ is completely permission based, it keeps your information private, and you can always turn it off with a single click.

The AGLOCO Viewbar™ (currently in limited beta) is shown below:

Mouse over for more information.

NOTE: The AGLOCO Viewbar™ is currently in limited beta testing and is not yet available for download. We expect that it will start to be available to download in several weeks. It will be released to Members in the order in which Members signed up. No testers are receiving any earnings while using the Viewbar™ in this testing phase. For now, we ask you to build the community, because both you and AGLOCO make more if you grow the community.

The Viewbar™ also has many additional features:

Search (which lets us get you money from search engine companies)
Contextual ads (which lets us get you money from advertisers)
Anti-fraud and other software utilities (which lets us get you money from software companies)

Here is a screenshot of what the Viewbar will look like on your desktop:

For me, I would stay with it since it is free and you can cancel your memberships freely, why not? These are 2 relevant links for your information:

Of course, if you do a google, you will find that everyone is promoting this program, tons of links. Will it work? That really depends on everyone. I will post more on this as time goes by. Meanwhile, if you are interested in this program, do join me in this journey :)

CIM still going on...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 10:03:00 +0000

Some time ago, one of my readers emailed me about CIM's link on my blog is gone. As i gathered from chancer, the northern calm blog owner, CIM is being defensive about the programs which have failed but seems like they are updating members via emails and they have positive profits, since I am not in this program, I probably can't update much on it.

There's not much news to report here. Of course, christmas is coming, save your money to spend instead of paying for scams out there. Be careful.

Here's something great that might motivate you:

Xlentxtra - The Finer Things

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 04:47:00 +0000

This is what I have in my mailbox:

"
Hey there

With the growth in The Finer Things some of you may have noticed some web slowness - and every now and then a spend does not make it into your back office.

So effective immediately we have decided to make some changes - which will help protect the integrity of the program

TFT will no longer record the spends in an online database

What does this mean?

1) All spends from now on going forward will not be entered into a database therefore they will NOT show in your online account - you will not have an online account any more

2) Previous spends will not show in your online account. (This facility will be removed very shortly.)

3) There will be two ways to spend to TFT

a) Directly from your egold account to TFT egold account 3763976. No confirmation email will be sent for spends made this way.

b) The same way you always have. Login to TFT and there will be a spend page. This page is not attached to an online database. If you spend from this page you will receive a confirmation email.

4) New members are still asked to sign up at the website so that we have a record of email address to notify of program details.

5) All terms remain the same except one. There will no longer be any referral bonuses. Tracking referral payments under these new arangements will be too cumbersome and time consuming.

6) Payouts will be done after the maturity time expires, which is 30 days. You will now need to keep track (of your new spends) via your egold history.

7) As before, there is no requirement that you ask for your payout. They will be done automatically upon expiration.

Why we decided to take away the TFT back office.

There are a number of factors in making this decision. The strain on the server processing - with both TFT and the partner program XLO was meaning that more spends were not being processed through to the database in TFT.

Additionally- by taking the program "offline" we are immune to various sorts of "online" attacks. We will pay to the egold acct you spend from - there is no possibility of your TFT account being hijacked by anyone else.

These changes take place immediately - and any spends that are went "missing" today - and have not been returned will fall into these new arrangements.

Please come along to the forum at www.xlo-tftforum.com and make your comments.

As always we welcome your feedback and support.

Andy
"

This is a good move if you ask me. No referrals fee could extend the longevity of the program since they already have a number of people who put their money in. It is protected from online attacks such as DDOS attacks. More importantly, safer to invest.I can't say how long this program will continue, it depends on us.

Ibizatraders, Adv Prv disappointment

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 05:13:00 +0000

Well, I would remove the (gd potential) for these 2 programs. As I have said way earlier before, if they are good programs , they should test out their programs and go on live so that everyone would make money every month and there shouldn't be negative returns if proper strategy is used. Why do I say that? Because I know that proper daytrading strategy works both ways, you can win in bull or bearish market and I have heard positive results this month. Well, maybe maybe December would be harder to trade, but I don't see how the other months would turn out negative.This week alone, I have seen a lot of potential setups for profit myself so it turns out to trade yourself would be the better way? Well, that's if you have some time to spare and your timezone is great for trading during a larger movement in the market. Anyway, a 6 months monitoring is good to evaluate whether the program is performing well, these 2 programs have yet to reach that timeframe. Hope to see better performance else I may just quit too.

Here's the update from Ibizatraders:

Dear Investors,

Today is a sort of black day for us at Ibiza traders. Although the
forecasts were very favorable for this month, as I wrote in my last
(interim) update, we have suffered a substantial loss. This could happen thru
a variety of circumstances but let me blame my self in the first place
as I do not like to hide behind all kinds of internal/external causes.
I understand that this will come to most of you as a big and nasty
surprise. For me it is as least as nasty as for you. Apart from the fact
that I have a lot of my own money invested in this project, also my
private account was hit to the same magnitude.

Apart from the financial aspect, much more important to me, also my
reputation is down the line. So personally this hurts me very much. Forget
the idea that we have stolen money from the fund or some other form of
fraud committed. We have hard proof for the oneâ€™s under you who do
not believe us.
In spite of the facts as written above Ibiza traders is not bankrupt.
We lost a good part of trading capital but not all of it and above all
not our self-confidence either. The loss could occur due to a
miscalculation on my end and perhaps a bit of ignorance as well, I have to admit.
In the mean time we have looked and found ways to prevent this in the
future.

We have also held our trading model against the light and we had to
conclude that it did not meet our expectations; in the period of testing
this model, during the first half of this year the markets were very
trending while as from the month we started the market went entirely
sideways (range trading). However in the meantime we discovered another
model with an excellent track record We have so much confidence in this
that we agree to let Bluemax have a look in our books as often as he
wants. We can also send him a daily or weekly trading report so that
someone. representing the investors,
can control all the time how we are doing.

Having said this it will also mean that we have to set a 3 months
moratorium on all interest payments and deposit withdrawals. We apologize
for this although we are 100% certain that we will be able to come out
of this temporarily situation stronger than ever.

Peter Ris

Advantage Private from Takii on hyipdiscussion:

"
The loss will be made up by the companies profit. As of course its the companies fault for the loss. If i make 10% of the current amount in the account. Clients will recieve that amount.

I do not rely on new clients to make up for loss. So I will not be holding them responsible for the loss.

I wouldn't expect big payouts in the next 2 months though, as trading will be light due to holidays and market conditions

Okay seems like my busy schedule is over. I will try to update on my portfolio and give everyone updates from various programs... :) And also, one of my readers has set up a blog so please do give him some support over here.

New Program, solid earnings and best of all it's FREE!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 12:27:00 +0000

Free is too expensive... Own the Internet!

This is AGLOCO™ 's proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!

How does this work? Once you sign up on their website, when available you will be able to download the Viewbar software, a free toolbar-sized application (half the size of a traditional Windows tool bar) that quietly sits on your desktop without ever hampering your online habits. That’s all you need to do! Just continue using the Internet as you used to… no need to change your habits!

Do you have several individuals using one computer? You can have different AGLOCO™ viewbars to fit the profile of each user.

Don’t want to see or use the Viewbar at any given time? Just minimize it and the Viewbar stops working!

There are different ways AGLOCO™ can make money for its Members:

Cash: You get cash by surfing the Internet while the Viewbar is running. AGLOCO™ ’s profits are distributed back to its Members. And you can also receive real-time discounts should you choose to purchase from AGLOCO™ ’s partners. They will never include gambling or adult entertainment sites as partners.

Shares: In addition to cash, AGLOCO™ will give out shares in the company to its Members. Eventually, AGLOCO™ plans to go public and will be traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM. You can start earning stock options by keeping Viewbar active while you surf. In addition, you will gain extra shares by referring active users to AGLOCO™ (they lose nothing). Click here to see the calculator.

The more people join AGLOCO™ , the more value the community can generate for itself. The company believes those that build the community deserve more: your own profits become larger the more people you refer. You can accumulate hours not only from your Internet activity but also from those who you refer, and their referrals too… Up to 5 levels underneath you! For example, if you refer 10 people and all of them refer 5 people each, you could make over 7000 shares a month*!

Remember, this is all free, you don’t lose anything, all you have to do is sign up, download the Viewbar and that’s it. Build your network and refer friends, family and colleagues to AGLOCO™ and earn even more!

The guys behind this idea include several Stanford MBA’s and a few individuals who started AllAdvantage back in 1998, which gave over $100 million to its users before falling victim to the burst of the internet bubble. Today, the context is much more favorable: The sophistication of on-line commerce, the rapid emergence of communities, the wealth of advertising revenue sources, etc. Isn’t it time you got your share of the Internet?

Don't wait any longer. This is a win-win opportunity, and you’ll make it even more profitable for yourself when you start referring friends and relatives before others get to them! Click here to sign up directly!

From what I see, this program has good quality and $$$ to be earned all over it! I strongly recommend this program because it is free! Try to sign up asap to build your referrals' network. I have also put up this program under "Other money making opportunities". Read everything thoroughly and you should understand the potential. Do remember to sign up here!

Rog's offer?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 06:06:00 +0000

Hope to get past this November fast as it is really a busy month... Here's some light on Rog's offer:

Who is this guy Rog, is he for real? He started 3 programs namely T2,T1 and PPP1 but all 3 seem to be having problem. This really looks fishy to me, likely a ponzi operation. Well, nobody knows because nobody has enough information on him but anyway, it seems to me that there are some big problems and he is not as active as usual in the forum although he still emails investors. I am glad to come away from this with my initial spend but looking at the situation now, it could turn real bad if it is indeed a scam. I have put his programs 'on hold' section for now. Please do not spend a single dime on this! So there you see, it is risky as indicated under 'higher risk'. I do not have time to update my portfolio yet. NSFG should be showing -70%... and I see no reason we should spend our time looking at this program. I had $100 in from the start and came away with $30 left in my account so I am not going to take it out.

Let's hope Udachu organization will do well for the transition to corporate members for those who are in it (including me). That will really boost everyone's confidence. That's it for now.

Meanwhile, for those in SFGH, UI or UF, when you login in your account you have some options to fill in. Please resubmit your choices again if you want to upgrade your account. Okay bye

Slowdown in posting

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 12:08:00 +0000

I will be posting less for the month of November due to busy schedule but will return to post more during December. Okay so the news is that PPF is refunding and closing the program. I have received the refunds. Very disappointed I must say. All in all, I made $0 from this program. At least it was honest. Better than nothing? Perhaps. Rog's program for trade1 is having problems and if you are in his program he has option for u to transfer your balance to PPP1. I am currently rolling with profits and I want faster payout thus have chosen to transfer all balance to PPP1 which yields 32% to 50% per month. What is your choice?
