HYIP PROGRAMS

A few more programs folded or have announced problems they include Loyal Club and Business HYIP and there were many others.

I have sent an email to about 10 different HYIP programs asking if they want to be included in our $200 Test. They would need to provide the Due Diligence that we require. (Passport or Driver's License, Phone #, Utility bill with address on it) So far we have had a couple of programs pass on our requests for various reasons I will let you know if any of them get back with me and pass the DD. I will also be sending out another 5-10 emails later this week to a few more programs that our subscribers have recommended to us. If you have a program that you think would provide the above DD and actually TRADE/INVEST/GAMBLE the investors funds and aren't just Pyramids or games please pass them along to us and we will check them out.

Trading and investing $$$ yourself looks more and more like the safest way to make money in the HYIP industry.

OSGOLD VS DAILY PAYERS

(Which was worse for the HYIP industry?)

Below you will find my opinion on the above question feel free to send me your comments and maybe they will be published in Next Week's Newsletter.

Of the emails that I have received since last week's newsletter the results were mixed however a slight majority thought that daily programs has had an overall worse impact on the industry then OSGold has.

I tend to agree the spread of daily programs has been worse for the HYIP industry then ANYTHING ELSE.

OSGOLD was a horrible debacle I will admit. It hurt thousands of people and millions of dollars when you combine Osopps in with it. Many people got so hurt by the OSgold scam that they never recovered. Another issue with the OSgold failure is the lawsuit that is pending. For those that lost thousands it may seem like a good thing and if you end up getting back a fraction of your money you should be happy. The drawback is the Government attention this will bring to the HYIP industry which is never a good thing.

Daily paying programs however eat at people's accounts slowly but surely. It is a slow death that eats away at people's pocket book and at there enthusiasm for HYIP. There is NO QUESTION that the HYIP industry is in a decline from it's height a year + ago. There may be more HYIP's around and more sites promoting them but there are less investors and especially less money flowing into programs.

Ez-bucks may not of started the Daily paying revolution but it was one of the biggest programs out there. It lasted for about a year and then ran with $2 million! Since then there have been hundreds if not thousands of other daily programs that have came and went. Leaving investors each time with less and less money. Payouts have ranged from 1% to 20% or more in a day. And it doesn't seem to make a difference what %'s they pay out the result ends up being the same they VANISH.

Whomever thought up daily programs is a genius as I have said before. It puts the advantage in the Program admins hands yet it makes it look like it is a benefit for the Investors. Investors think they eliminate more and more risk each day as the program admin pays them on a daily basis. And the program Admin. pays everyday to sucker more and more investors in before vanishing. After a couple days/weeks of payments investors tell others who join in and the program admin. keeps paying until they decide to run and start it all over again.

With the invention of the daily programs and automated payment software ANYONE can now run an HYIP, whether they are qualified or not. Many more games have sprang up over the last year it is mind blowing to try and keep up with them all.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK........

PART 2 NEXT WEEK.

Your comments on this question are welcome at alleycatnews@alleycatnews.net

I know we have MANY NEW readers to Alley Cat as our subscriber list continues to grow. For information on daily programs and other interesting HYIP news please review our past issues of Alley Cat HYIP News at our website. You can find the Past Newsletters under the tab of "HYIP Newsletter"

http://www.alleycatnews.net

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

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/

It is football Season and Sportswagers have opened up the season with a decent winning record. We bet with them for Sat and Sunday and went 3-2 for the weekend. We won $22.50 (3 x $7.50= $22.50) and lost $20. Net profit for the weekend was $2.50. We will start betting with them this weekend at $10 per bet. We will pick our bets not to risk too much.

NET RESULT OVERALL -$16.25

2. Daily-Trades

http://www.daily-trades.com/

We bet $15 per trade. 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.... We went 2-4 for the daily trades and 1-2 for the evening trades. For a net result of 3-6 for the week. We are going to stop playing daily trades for a little while we still have a net profit overall with them however we may have other $200 Test programs coming on soon so we are going to save some capital for that. Net result for us in the daily trades are 3 wins and 6 losses. 3x $11.25 (75% of $15) = $33.75 profit. Minus 6 losses x $15 = $90 Losses. $33.75-$90= $56.25 NET LOSS for the week.

NET RESULT FOR WEEK -($56.25)

NET RESULT Overall + $3.75

3. Cash Domain Pool

http://www.cashdomain.net/gold.htm

We have joined this program for $20. We received an additional 2.3% this week or .46 cents. Total received so far is 34.6% or $6.92 Payouts are each Monday.

NET RESULT +$6.92

WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE PROGRAMS TO PLACE IN THE $200 TEST. IF YOU KNOW OF PROGRAMS THAT WOULD PASS OUR DUE DILIGENCE PLEASE E-MAIL THEM TO US AT alleycatnews@alleycatnews.net
