NEWS from the HYIP World

GOLD PRICES as mentioned last week look like they have stabilized and are moving higher at current writing they are at $384 an ounce hopefully we can break the highs set a few weeks ago and head on to $400 an ounce.

For all your E-gold needs use http://www.business-express.net/egold.php

PLEASE USE YOUR HEAD WHEN IT COMES TO E-MAIL. E-gold/Paypal will NEVER e-mail you asking you to log in, so when you get an e-mail like that DELETE IT.

INDICES PROFIT SYSTEM (IPS)/30 MINUTES TO PROFIT (30MPS) NEWS

E-CURRENCY NEWS

More emails have been sent lately with some excuse or another about E-gold and logging in to fix the problem. They of course are all scams and E-gold, Paypal, or other online currency will not send you an e-mail asking you to log in via a link they send in an e-mail. Have the correct E-gold or Paypal log in page saved in your favorite places so each time you can just go to your favorite places and log in via the correct log in page.

Business-Express has a LONG track record and is one of the oldest E-Currency Providers in the business. Whether you need to buy or sell your E-gold use the best in the business. Don't be scammed by an E-currency Provider again.

HYIP PROGRAMS

Please remember Alley Cat News NEVER Recommends ANY program even if we do get the DD on them. This is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

We have completed our Due Diligence on Fox investments (http://www.fox-investments.com)

They provided all the information that we asked for and we did speak with them on the phone. We invested the Minimum $100 this afternoon in there program. They won't be part of our $200 Test program because of the high minimum but we will include updates on them each week.

I think later next month we will have some exciting news on the Due Diligence and $200 Test program. It looks very interesting and informative for all readers so stay tune.

I would also like to say something about Due Diligence and HYIP. First off as has been said many times over the years NEVER invest more in an HYIP than you can afford to lose. This is basically a form of gambling and there will be winning programs and losing ones, I don't care HOW LONG THEY HAVE LASTED OR WHAT DUE DILIGENCE IS PERFORMED NEVER INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.

That being said I think most would agree that 99% of all HYIP are either scams or will fail. Maybe you don't agree with 99% but we all know it is pretty close. Some people in the HYIP are down on Due Diligence type of services saying they give false hope or that the DD information can be easily faked. Yes DD information can be faked and just because a program allows DD doesn't mean it is a winning program. However I do believe a program that offers DD has a better chance of lasting longer. Does that mean it will? Of course not, there is no guarantees. But I feel much more comfortable investing in companies willing to come forth with DD information than those that aren't.

Will there be programs that go through the DD process and still end up being scams? ABSOLUTELY! However a lot of out right scams from the start will not consider offering DD as they know there program will eventually fail. They don't want there personal information out in the public once they run off. Sure there will be scammers that fake there information or slip through the cracks. However on a whole I feel that programs that offer DD tend to last longer.

If you are just playing batch or money games that is one thing but if you are using HYIP as a way to make money or an investment than I would think the more you know about a program and how it operates the better.

So in a nutshell don't invest more than you can afford to lose, and Due Diligence isn't the cure all but I feel it is the step in the right direction.

OTHER HYIP NEWS

Comshares seems to be having problems with their log in and payouts over the last few days. Hopefully for the investors sake they will resolve the problems soon.

Please remember Alley Cat News NEVER Recommends ANY program even if we do get the DD on them. This is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. We do invest in some of the programs BUT ONLY IF WE GET THE DD FROM THE COMPANIES. If we can't get the DD from the company we pass on investing in them. We feel that in order to get our hard earned money they need to show us they are for real with the DD. WE ARE NOT SAYING that any program that doesn't provide us with the DD is a scam however we feel it is wiser to only invest when we know the DD of the company. If there are other HYIP newsletters or sites that have the DD we mentioned on the company and are willing to release it if the company has problems that is another bonus to HYIP investors.

If you have additional programs you would like us to contact please send them to us at alleycatnews@alleycatnews.net we will check them out and report back.

Your comments on this question are welcome at alleycatnews@aol.com

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/

Due to the fact that we may be adding some additional programs to the $200 Test we decided to preserve our capital and have not made any new spends to any program at this time. We have also taken on some losses in the last month or so.

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. 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 WEEK $0

NET RESULT Overall + $3.75

3. Cash Domain Pool

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

We have joined this program for $20. Total received so far is 46.9% or $9.38 Payouts are each Monday.

NET RESULT +$9.38

4. Steady Growth Traders

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/steadygrowthtraders/

We have entered this program with a $40 deposit. We are going to compound each week for at least a month or two at which time we will make a withdrawal of some of the profits. For the purposes of the $200 Test any interest earned for the week will be included.

Steady Growth Traders (SGT) returned 0% profit this week.

NET RESULT + $2.40

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
