Daily compounding power at Paxmix

I don't know why I have never realized it. Could it be that I have been obsessed with recovering my initial spend? That's a rule I try very hard to obey whenever I spend my own money: Recover your initial spend as soon as possible.

Greed overcomes me every so often though. I have broken the rule more times than I care to remember eyeing after the big fat balances. I have regretted just as many times breaking the rules. I would stay cool a while before my emotion takes over. Then the cycle begins again.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm rambling. I was going to say that it somehow only dawned on me this morning. Paxmix is paying daily compounding interest! That means my balance will double in 36 days at 1.98% daily. At 2.48%, the highest rate, it's 29 days. One whole week less.

You may think, "Yawn... Big deal." But have you tried adding up the numbers? We know that Paxmix plans to lower the interest rates to 37% yearly from Jan 2007. So let's just crunch the numbers from Oct 2005 to Dec 2006 using the current rates.

1. Oct 2005 to Dec 2006 = About 450 days
2. 450 days / 36 days = 12.50 times of doubling
3. Double $1 by 12.50 times = $5,792!
4. $5,792 x $5 minimum spend = $28,960!

Do the same with 2.48%, 29 days, and $5: $234,490!

Wow!

So, what's the point of all the number crunching?

Eh... Come to think of it, none. I just got too excited over the daily compounding and the possibilities. In reality, who would keep on compounding and doubling their balances? We all know HYIP is a risky business. So no one will reach those numbers even if Paxmix can last that long. No seasoned HYIP player will take the risk.

I guess there is a point going through the exercises after all. It gets me dreaming about the possibilities. That's what keeps me going in the HYIP games.

Paxmix - 3rd withdrawal success

I said I wasn't going to invest in Paxmix way back. And here I am talking about a 3rd successful withdrawal? Did I lie?

Oh, no, I'm no liar. If you follow my blog long enough, you know that I'm a sucker for honesty. So I absolutely, completely, definitely, and unquestionably don't lie.

Oops! Did I just do what I said I don't do? Ah! Eh... Sorry. Can we forget about the whole thing?

As I was saying, I wasn't prepared to invest way back then but I didn't say I wouldn't forever. I changed my mind mid-August 2005 and spent the minimum $5. Well, I can tell you that so far I'm glad I did change my mind.

With my 3rd withdrawal yesterday, I recovered 60% of my initial spend. My balance remains more than doubled thanks to a little help from my referrals and the compounding magic. In 2 weeks, I should recover all my initial spend. Then it'll be profit all the way!

Paxmix are paying the high HYIP rates because they can't give out any state guarantee certificates as they aren't registered in SEC. They plan to do so and lower the interest rate to 37% a year after 2006. So, if things go smoothly, I'll have up till end of 2006 to build my fortune. :)

LPP: Quiznos project closed

The Quiznos program by World Limited Partnership Program has been closed. The response to the program has been overwhelming. Within 5 days of the announcement, the total indication to buy is over 2,700 for the 2,600 units available.

If you miss the opportunity, don't worry. As soon as the Quiznos program is active, LPP will open another program. They already have a target.

So, this is a good time to join Limited Partnership Program. You'll get first hand news when they come out in the next few days. The membership is free anyway.

First LPP project selling like hotcakes!

Apparently the first project of World Limited Partnership Program is selling like hotcakes. The latest news update put it at less than 200 units! So the project is likely to close out any time today.

Some LPP members questioned whether the whole setup is a scam. I don't have the problem. Not because I'm that confident, but rather that I always invest with a pinch of salt.

No matter how good a program sounds, there is always a chance of you not getting any money back. Whether due to an honest business failure or a scam it matters not. The risk exists.

The only way you're not losing any money is to not let the money out of your hand. You'll get to see it shrinks though. From inflation.

Hey, that's a small issue, right? You didn't lose the money, did you? You can still feel good then. ;-)

First venture of LPP: World Limited Partnership Program

Is World Limited Partnership Program a HYIP? I think it is. Except it's not your usual online a-dime-a-dozen type trading in foreign currencies or high risk stocks. It's more of a business venture type of high yield program.

LPP, as they call themselves, are set up to form venture capital pools. They use the pools to purchase actual revenue producing companies, franchises, and websites to build the ventures up. As a pool member, you become part owner of the companies. You earn commissions now, and receive residual income from the venture pool profits and group profits for the rest of your life.

No promise of any fixed rates of return. They only promise to select potentially profitable companies to the best of their knowledge. After all, their payments are tied to the performance of the companies too.

How many capital pools can you expect? As many as prudence and due diligence will produce. Meaning: No set schedule. This makes business sense, doesn't it? Only when a venture looks good, and fits into the culture, then should a shrewd businessman pursue further.

That's the reason why LPP have only announced the first project these few days though they have been online for a while. They are moving into the food industry. Quiznos to be exact. A total of 2,600 units at $50 each are offered in this venture capital pool. Within 48 hours of announcement, more than 1,600 units have been booked!

The number of units you buy will determine your status as a Silent, Full, Senior, or Corporate Partner in the Quiznos project. The more units you buy, the more benefits and privileges you enjoyed with the accorded status. I booked 2 units to become a Full Partner. This allows me to peek into the decision making process and to receive more detailed information about the offerings.

Feel like you have missed the boat? Hey, go grab the remaining 1,000 units. Or join as a member to take part in future ventures.

As a member, you get first hand information on any new pool. If you like the concept and potential of the company in the pool, join that group. Be part owner of the company and receive profits regularly. If not, simply pass it to wait for later pools. It really is quite that simple. With membership to World Limited Partnership Program free, I see no reason you passing up the opportunity.

POF (Private Offshore Fund) went poof!

Never did expect Private Offshore Fund to last long but I still went in. Thought I could get out before it closed with my initial spend recovered at least. Then I got stuck with the minimum $20 withdrawal. And now, a few hours ago, it just went poof!

I know the doom of Private Offshore Fund was coming. Stories about withdrawals pending. Warnings from this group and that. But what could I have done? Nothing!

The ponzi game is not an easy one to play. I've learnt my lesson. I shall stick with the old and tried programs from now onwards. Not! :D

New program by FeederFund

FeederFund have just added a new investment program. That bumped the total programs in the portfolio to a lucky 7. Get my hint? ;^)

I can't tell you much about the new program because the admin has specifically told us not to. I think I can tell you these though: Out of the lucky 7, this will be the 2nd highest paying. If you're fast, you can get yourself some nice Christmas gifts too. The faster, the better.

Can I tell you more? Sorry, no. I don't want to lose my membership. Go look it up from the news section in FeederFund yourself.

Not a member? No worry. You just need a referrer code. Go ahead. The sign up is free.

DX-Invest - Close(d) Encounters

No more "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", folks. Now it's simply "closed". DX-Invest doesn't exist anymore.

The program admins don't talk much. The payment stopped after 8 Aug 2005. No one explained anything. I was prepared to write it off as a goner. Then came the surprise refund on 13 Sep 2005. Again, not a word. And of course now the web site disappeared with no warning.

It's a mystery to me why DX-Invest shut their door. They gathered our funds to operate their DXInOne account. As far as I know, DXInOne is legit and quite lucrative, so this HYIP should survive financially. There wasn't any DDoS attack nor other technical difficulty. So technical problem isn't the cause. I can't think of anything else, hence I'm scratching my head.

I must applaud the program admins though. How many HYIP admins returned your investments plus interests lately when they closed their programs? None? They just ran away with your money? DX-Invest are definitely refreshingly different.

I just wish the program admins weren't the strong and silent type. I might have gotten to know them better and find out where they intend to venture next. Then I would surely pump in funds — more than what I did with my close(d) encounter. They deserve it. They earned it.

Money talks, bullshit walks. {e-hyip.us}

Do you recognize the tagline? If you do, congratulation! You must have been receiving your daily interests on time.

You see, "money talks, bullshit walks" appears in the memo field when you spend through E-gold. It's the only e-currency accepted, by the way. And boy oh boy, do {e-hyip.us} live up to their motto.

Money talks. These guys have paid me every single day in the last 3 weeks. Don't ask me how many more payments to go though. I don't know. I just know I'll get more than I spent. HYIP rating sites and discussion forums easily confirm this.

The returns aren't half bad either. Variable up to 10% daily, hovering mostly around 3%. I got 9.3% on my first payment. Must be my lucky day. :-)

Bullshit walks. See, these folks are men (?) of few words. They don't boast about how good they are in forex trading. They don't tell you how fast they can make you rich. They don't say nothing. The site is bare except 3 lines of text right smack in the middle of the page:

1. Program name plus the invest field and button.
2. Copyright and some numbers representing...?
3. A link to a promotion page. The only other directly accessible page. Get your supplies of logos, banners, desktop wallpapers and posters here.

Nothing said. Nothing promised. Everything is left to your imagination. So, if they stop paying, can we call them a scam? Hmm...

Not that these folks will disappear any time soon, I feel. The whois shows the domain name expiring... year 2015! How about that? They plan to be around for a long time!

Good money. Bullshit free. Now you know why I call {e-hyip.us} the ultimate HYIP site.

Tempted? But wait! Your heart sinks with the $1,000 spend amount already filled in?

Don't, 'cos you need only 1/1000 of that. Yes, just $1 to get started. But you won't put in a mere $1, would you?

New Forex-Trading

Forex-Trading just spot a new outlook.

No more introductory page. You get directed straight to a secure https page. Funny thing is, they still offer you the login options of either secure https or the normal http when both end up being secure.

The layout is now cleaner and more appealing. They put up a new theme with better design. Something more modern like WinXP. They also dumped some unused menu items in the member area. You can see for yourself when you log in how much better it becomes.

Have Forex-Trading gone totally private with this move, granted they have always been kind of semi-private? Are they closing the membership too? As the new design stands, there is no place for sign up. No invitation system either. So no point you going to their web site if you aren't a member yet.

There were plans to update the web site. But I don't recall them talking about going totally private. Nor not accepting any more new members. I'll just have to wait for more updates from the admin. Or ask them if I don't get any news.

{e-hyip.us}

The ultimate HYIP site.

Take your risk.

Enough said.

{e-hyip.us}

Paxmix is no Investment Group

Paxmix say that they own the domain names paxmix.com, paxmix.org, and paxmix.net only. They warn that paxmixgroup.com is a fake site. So be careful.

Paxmix Investment Group is apparently operating the fake site. A name very close to the genuine one. Many scammer wannabes use this tactic. They adopt part of a successful HYIP name, add a word or two like "Group" to the title, and voila! One instant family member created. Many an unsuspecting investor falls prey to this kind of scam.

The next time you're eager to spend at this wonderful HYIP you heard so much about, follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Stop your urge to spend right now. A real investment site will be around for a long time. So, a short delay won't hurt, right?
2. Look around the site. Check the site name and url. Do they match exactly what you know?
3. Listen to what fellow investors are saying. Do fake sites abound?

These steps don't guarantee you scam free ever after. They do help filter out some scam sites. It's better than nothing, right?

Private Offshore Fund

Another new boy on the block offering 7%-10% daily. Started 27 Aug 2005, there are 3,470 accounts and $1.075 m deposited as of today, if you believe what they say. Impressive, isn't it?

Will it last another week? A month? Your guess is just as good as mine. I can only tell you I went spending at Private Offshore Fund.

They gave me a 20% bonus on my E-gold spend as StormPay balance. A nice touch. A nice un-touch-able because I can't withdraw it. The minimum withdrawal is $20. The same as the minimum spend.

Beware of this before you spend a single cent on this HYIP. Nobody told me there is a minimum withdrawal sum. Certainly not Private Offshore Fund.

Now I'm stuck. I can't withdraw any money for at least another 10 days. I'll will just have to sit through it.

Here today, gone tomorrow

Another ponzi site just went the way of the dodo bird was Minute Gold. The url now redirects you to a "This Account Has Been Suspended" page. Minute Gold? I'm sure it was here a minute ago.

Cutesy turns ugly

What can I say? All babies are adorable until they grow up. Create Union was one cute baby growing up real fast, turned ugly, and died young!

I never expect this HYIP to last forever. I just never expect it gone so fast. It went for the we-will-be-back-after-maintenance routine and then just plain disappeared. Lasting no more than two weeks. Never got a chance to fully recover my initial spend.

I knew it was a scam with the high interest rates. I knew it wouldn't last. Yet I went in, thinking I was smart enough to pull out before it collapsed. Show how dumb I really am right now huh. Who to blame? No one except myself.

At least I stuck with the golden rule: Invest only what you can afford to lose. It has served me well. And I did get one withdrawal done. And I still love those cute little icons in Create Union. :)

Close Encounters of the Third Kind: DX-Invest

I was checking my E-gold account and found a surprise entry: "From: dx-invest Memo: dxinvest - return of investment".

Huh? Quickly I went over to DX-Invest. No announcement of closing the site. Scratching my head, I tried logging in and it went through. Again, no news in the member area.

What is the admin thinking of?

Not that I am unhappy about the refund with interest. Nothing great. I spent only the minimum. I'm happy more because I've kind of given up hope to lay my hands on the account balance. And now it has been delivered right to my door step without me asking.

I knew this HYIP collects funds to invest in DXInOne (former DXGold). Nowhere on the site says you can only withdraw to a DXInOne account though. So, imagine my frustration when I first tried to withdraw my interests into E-gold. DXInOne is the 101 withdrawal option available. I had intended to take a closer look at DXInOne, but I want to do it at my own time. I hate being forced into it. End up I just let this account dangling in the air.

Finally, the whole episode comes to a happy ending. I can go check out DXInOne as and when I pleased. The only mystery is what prompted the refund? Wish the DX-Invest admin would tell us.

No more PonziHYIP.

It turns out that PonziHYIP is not an experimental ponzi after all. This ponzi is a scam. It stopped paying out withdrawals about a week back, didn't answer any email or forum posting. And today, I can't access the site, nor the forum.

Looking back to my post where I first talked about PonziHYIP, I said:

I'm a sucker for honesty. Probably because I'm rather a straight forward chap myself. How else would you explain my getting into such HYIP investments as Sunflower Seed and Forex-Trading with — seemingly so if not truly ;-) — honest operators?

How this — seemingly honest — rings true now. I guess it is the trait of a good and professional con artist. Surely the scammer must gain our trust first before we will trust him with our money, right? Somehow, I also expect 95% of the HYIP sites out there to fail sooner or later. So, when I spend into any high yield programs, I always have this lingering doubt no matter how confident I am with the investments.

Don't I trust any one of the them? Sure I do. FeederFund comes to mind straight away. My lingering doubt over FastMarket dwindles as days go by. I have a pretty good feeling about Forex-Trading too.

Who else will make it to my list next? Paxmix? MPDW? 4x-Club? I don't know yet. Come back later. You'll find out then.

Fast Market and Fast-Market? Seeing double?

FAST Market or Fast-Market? FastMarket.com or Fast-Market.com? $50 signup bonus or 50% referral bonus?

Which is real, which is fake? Who is the original, who is the copycat? Can you tell?

Too many questions? Should I stop? You sure?

Invex: The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Dear fellow HYIP players, here's another story coming to an end. This is supposed to spill the beans on the Invex episodes. Believe what you want.

Dear Invex Ltd. Donators,

Is this message by the "old" or the "new" boys? Or maybe there were never any "old" and "new" boys. Maybe they were one and the same. That does explain how they gain access to the Yahoo group.

I won't crack my head if I were you though. You play the HYIP game long enough, you know 95% of them will fail one way or another. The question is: How to survive the 95% while you go finding the 5%? I'm working on it. I'm blogging about it. Obviously I'm still surviving. And I've found a couple of the 5%, I hope, while making the most of the 95%.

Sunflower finally withers.

Site is finally closed.

I will not continue the program. What I do is to find a way to make (serious) profits out of the members funds to grow them at least to the amount what the members had invested. Then I refund everyone.

Update: 08.09.2005

The story finally comes to an end? Most likely. Don't expect a sequel, but maybe an epilogue. Like, everybody suddenly find gold dropping through their chimneys one night?

A Minute a Gold piece.

I'm in the mood to play the ponzi game right now. I was playing PonziHYIP. I just joined Create Union. And I'm now in Minute Gold.

You can guess from the name the pay out, don't you? Yes, it's literally a minute a piece of e-gold. You get 0.075% every minute for 24 hours. It works out to 108% including your principal, or 8% net return. Not bad for one day risk. The interests earned accrue in your account, and are available for withdrawal to your E-gold the minute they're in your account. If you're game, you can reinvest every minute instead.

Not much else to say about Minute Gold. Except it pays a 5% referral bonus. The deposit amount is $15 – $10,000.

You already know all you need to know. What to do now? Go invest in Minute Gold. What else?

Cutesy Create Union.

Did I actually say cutesy? Am I sure Create Union is really a high yield investment? Sounds more likely a site for kids or ladies.

Ooh... You just got to join the program to see why I call it so. Especially you ladies out there. You really must join to take a look if not for anything else. Serious. I've never seen such adorable "User CP" interface in my encounters with other HYIPs so far. You won't regret it. I promise.

I like the "About Us" too. I don't remember seeing so many photos with names and designations to match at any other HYIP sites. Adds to the professional feel of the web site. The scripts they use is not off the shelf either. Heck, they even have their own debit card!

Ignore the daily 18-30% promise though. Do you believe it possible with such high rates? No? Smart. Any site promising such high return rates is pure ponzi or scam until proven otherwise.

Not that most high yield programs aren't partly ponzi in nature. And not that you can't make money out of a ponzi site. You just need to get in early. With this site online only 8 days, how early can you be? You also need lots of referrals. And this is where all you come in. ;-)

All in all, it seems they put in a fair bit of efforts on the web site. Unlikely they will run away soon with all the time and money spent. Plus they take in an average of $1,800 deposit daily and pay out just $200 daily so far, I think Create Union should last for a while. So if you want to play the ponzi game, now is the time to get in.

Of course, the cutesy interface is one big reason you must join too. Made my day. It did.
