HYIP PROGRAMS

VBU recently announced they are closing for the next 90 days and revamping. VBU has gone through some problems over the last few months however it is believed that VBU was/is one of the bigger HYIP's with hundreds of thousands of dollars. A number of high profile programs in recent months have closed, ran off, or complained of bad trading, spam, or hacking. Just recently EIC another high profile program with hundreds of thousands announced that their cofounder is leaving for unknown reasons. (Could it be he sees the end is near and wants to abandon ship? No one knows for sure except the owners of the program. However in most HYIP cases any changes in pay plans or management is usually not a good sign of things to come.)

This brings up another issue of many of these so called Trading programs suddenly shutting down. Many trading programs are out there most offering a daily type(1-5%) of return. (We won't go into again about why we hate daily programs you can read up about it on our site) Most of these HYIP trading programs are from people that have very limited experience trading. They also won't tell you what they are investing/trading in exactly. It is just a vague description, such as, "We are forex traders" or "We trade futures" Programs like that DON'T DESERVE your hard earned money. If they can't tell you the exact trades they are making they probably aren't making them. Or if they are actually trading it isn't returning the kind of money they promise. You can avoid a lot of the headache by just avoiding them altogether. As I am sure you have seen over the past few months some of these programs end, claiming "sorry we had a big trading loss and can't recover." Well, if your never able to actually view what they are trading how do you know they are telling the truth? If you can see actual trades of a program something like Daily-trades (Their are others out there as well) you will never have to worry about the company saying "we had big losses sorry we can't pay you." With trading programs that show you their trades it is easy to verify.

Let us be honest some program Admins. are outright scammers. And from the start they plan on ripping you off. Other program Admins. Are just running a game/Ponzi and it will eventually fall apart. (But you should know that ahead of time. And honest admins that run games should be upfront and say "once spends stop coming in the game will be over" LAST ONE IN LOSES, IN THOSE GAMES) And yet other Program Admins. Are honest people trying to make their program work but are over their head when it comes to trading or running a program.

Unless you are a very large investor you shouldn't have more than 5-10 programs in your portfolio. Invest in transparent programs, ones that are willing to allow Due Diligence or are willing to show you their trades. The ONLY way to clean up the scams in HYIP is by the investors avoiding the scams and investing where it makes sense!

The average HYIP investor who has $2000 or less to invest shouldn't be in more than 5-10 different programs to start off. And there are enough of those good programs out there that will allow Due Diligence, actually trade/gamble/pool your funds. I mean if your really looking to make money in the industry why mess with the scam programs. If you don't want to trade yourself, at least pick decent programs that ACTUALLY Invest YOUR money.

Alley Cat News NEVER RECOMMENDS AN HYIP PROGRAM. The only program Alley Cat News ever recommends is IPS and Save100k.

However Alley Cat performs Due Diligence on programs and will let our readers know of programs that have had a decent track record. In these cases we have personally spoken with the Program Admin., and will have the personal contact information available as well.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY PROGRAM. YOU INVEST IN HYIP's AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALLEY CAT CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR LOSSES THAT INCUR DURING YOUR HYIP INVESTING.

You can always find the current issue of Alley Cat News HYIP on the website under HYIP Newsletter.

We are currently looking for additional HYIP programs to invest in for our $200 Test. (Please e-mail us any program you feel would pass our Due Diligence.) Alleycatnews@aol.com

THE $200 TEST

We have contacted a few HYIP's this week in the hopes of bringing them to the $200 Test. Hopefully they will allow our Due Diligence and we will be able to invest with them shortly.

JUST BECAUSE WE INVEST IN THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS IN NO WAY MEANS WE ENDORSE OR GUARANTEE PAYMENTS FROM THE PROGRAMS. WE ARE INVESTORS JUST LIKE YOU. WE HAVE DONE SOME INITIAL HYIP SCREENING BUT YOU NEED TO DO ADDITIONAL RESEARCH. WE WILL END UP GETTING SCAMMED BY SOME PROGRAMS THAT WE INVEST IN. THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. HOWEVER WITH GOOD MONEY MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH HOPEFULLY WE WILL MAKE A PROFIT IN THE END.

We are currently in the following programs for our $200 TEST.

All programs that we invest $$$ in for the $200 TEST, we have the program Admin. Phone #, Copy of Driver's License, and copy of utility bill. We do Due Diligence on all programs that we invest our money into.

1. Sports Wagers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sportswagers/

We have decided to discontinue playing Sports Wagers until Football season which starts in late August. They usually fair pretty well during football season so we are going to hold off until then. We will be playing $10 per bet to win $7.50

NET RESULT OVERALL -$18.75

2. Daily-Trades

http://www.daily-trades.com

We bet $15 on Evening/Daily trades. We limit ourselves to 2 losses in a row. If we end up with 2 losses in a row then we begin to pick our spots again. Here are the results for our investments since last newsletter.... 3 wins and 2 losses on the evening trades and 4 wins and 1 loss for the daily trades. For a total of 7 wins and 3 losses. 7 x $11.25 (75% of $15) = $78.75 profit. Minus 3 losses x $15 = $45 Losses. $78.75-$45.00= $33.75 NET Profit for the week.

NET RESULT FOR WEEK +$33.75

NET RESULT Overall + $123.75

3. Cash Domain Pool
