The End of an Investment Cycle

It has been nearly a year since I last invested for a monthly return of about 8% each month. The company just reminded me that my yearly investment cycle (the contract locks my investment for a year) is up, and I should choose either to renew at a returns of 3% less each month (about 7% after calculating for FOREX) or to withdraw and to start a new contract for a one time fee of 3% of the investment of USD1000.

I thought the math was very straightforward and somewhat of a no-brainer. I have chosen to withdraw and to start a new contract.

The other HYIP I have started (which I have expressed doubt in my previous post) has collapsed. There is a reason why I only invest a tiny amount for such HYIP. After this episode, I have told myself not to invest any more into any HYIP where the leverage just does not work out, or where the outlay is so ridiculously low (USD10, anyone?) that it being a money game is just so clear. I have to learn to listen to my hunches when it comes to investments. The first rule of all investments, after all, is not to lose money.

The Second HYIP and Sustainability

Found another HYIP that pays 2% per day for 10 days with a capital of USD100, upon which profits is returned together with the capital. So far all HYIPs with such low capital outlay have not lasted long (unlike the other one I have invested with since July 2015), due likely to the fact that anything more than 1% per day is going to be difficult to sustain, and that is with FOREX being used as a trading platform. For someone like me, who was used to comfortably doing 1-2% a month selling options in the US stock markets in the past, the amount of leverage those guys are getting into is really incredible and mind-boggling. I have learnt to keep an open mind, however - because there are many who found my 1-2% a month equally mind-boggling. As I began understanding the world of high leverage, I learnt that they can be done - just not done by everyone. All forms of high-yield investment programmes have to deal with the issue of draw-downs. A move against the predicted model, a long-tail, a b

Market Closed for Labour Day

Yes, the market is closed for Labour Day today. That's the thing I like about stocks vs forex. Forex is never closed, since the markets all over the world trades currency at all times. Stocks, however, are tied to a particular market, and will close when there's a holiday. I will check my portfolio tomorrow, in lieu of the scheduled checkup today. I'm still toying around with another concept (this current portfolio is really safe and boring, and I won't do anything to it) that I have in mind. If I have time to develop it, I'd put it through a test as well.

Portfolio Update

Boring Portfolio Stock: US$83,719.70 Cash: US$364.85 Total: US$84,084.55 Still flashing a buy signal, but ballast is insufficient. Nothing to buy. In order for this portfolio to recover, it must be able to move high enough to recover its ballast.
