How to Avoid Losses in Online Investing?

December 10th, 2009

There is no 100% flawless full proof plans to always earn from investing on the internet for 3 main reasons:
1. Pyramid scheme most of there program use the pyramid system which basically say that the person that invested
first has a better chance to earn than the people after him.
2. Scam – these days almost every one can open his own investment site using a legal or illegal script, it’s hard to
spot a scammer but there are some ways to check it.
3. Luck – think of this as a gamble you win some you lose some.
I am using a very simple method to invest money on the internet
How to spot a scam?
1. License check – today its easy to get free license, many scammer use
It in order to check for a hyip script license goes to
goldcoders. com/?page=checkdomain
This company sells hyip script and here you can check the hyips domain.
2. A scam site usually will buy for his host or domain for a very short time you can check its Expiration Date in
site like this:
who. godaddy. com
If you see he paid for only one month that should light your bulb.
3. The design – cheap and ugly doesn’t point it’s absolutely a scam but you better think twice, scammer want to
invest the minimum.
What to do before investing?
After you check for scam signs comes the part of research.
Check the program on big sites and money forums like MMG or GPF and see what the other investor has to say about it.
Check the monitors, these are sites the monitors the investment site by invest in them, the sort them by their
status (pay, pending, problem and scam) and by the investors votes.
Monitors are very good to find some new programs to invest in.
Remember, always check 4-5 monitors, there are many on the internet some good some not, compare the information.
This a good one I check everyday
http://www. thehyips. info Also this site has HYIP forum where you can
ask your questions.
How to choose ?
There are many options for investing high % low %, daily, weekly or monthly.
The high % will not last long when it’s a hyip.
Auto surf usually last longer statistically mostly because it’s easier and cheaper to open a hyip so most of the
scammer concentrate there.
Some rules about investing
If you choose a hyip with a high % for instance 150% in 3 days invest only on the first day, about 99% of these are
scams but you could earn if you are on of the primary investor.
Many hyips now use the round system, the will keep on pay till they cover 90-95% of the investors money, after that
the round is over and they use the money for advertising, if you want to participate in a round invest only in the
first day of the round else you are throwing away your money.
* don’t spend all at once always make a test spend, if an auto surf upgrade costs 10$ don’t buy 1000$ spend 10$
and check it, are they paying ?, how fast ?
See if you like it because there are many good ones today.
Only after you made a test spend begin investing the big money.

How To Avoid Online Investment Scams

December 8th, 2009

Since the year 2004, there has been a sharp increase in the amount of investment spam we are receiving in our inbox. I personally receive up to 10 emails per day containing offers or lures to invest in various scams. It is estimated that millions of dollars are lost every year by people who have invested money in something they read about in an email. For the purposes of this discussion, we will outline each of the bogus investment opportunities that are circulating the internet so that if you encounter one of them, you will not be tricked into investing.
Pyramid schemes are probably the most popular. Typically, you will be asked to invest a certain amount of money, and then you are promised a return when new investors make an equal contribution. Eventually, the pyramid either collapses or the person who initiated the pyramid is able to make a lot of money, but no one else makes anything.
A common scam associated with the stock market is referred to as the pump and dump. This is when a small group of investors who hold a large number of shares in a penny stock hype the stock to the general public. The resulting frenzy drives up the price of the stock, at which point the pumpers dump their shares at a high price before the rest of the investors realize that the company is worthless.
Sometimes, pump and dumpers will engage in short selling (short selling is perfectly legal; you borrow stock from someone else and immediately sell it, hoping that the price of the stock will go down in the near future so that you can buy it back at a lower price and return it to the lender at a profit). With pump and dump short selling, the borrower instantly sells the stock that was loaned to him and then goes around spreading bad rumors about the company to drive the stock price down so he or she can buy it back at a low price before returning it to the lender.
You should ignore any emails you receive that promote offshore investing or prime banks. Promises of huge returns from offshore investments are usually totally disingenuous. Prime banks are the top 50 banks in the world. Solicitors for prime banks will ask for your money so that they can invest it in high yield prime bank financial instruments. However, they will likely invest your money in high risk, speculative investment vehicles that have absolutely no connection to prime banks whatsoever.
You should not necessarily ignore all of the investment spam in your inbox. You might receive an email containing a stock tip that could turn out to be a lucrative investment in the future. Just make sure you research the investment on your own before you partake in any investment that was sent to you via email.
