News on most popular programs 2. In Focus: Forex-Trading 3. Program Snapshot: ASTRA Systems ----------------------------------------------------- News on most popular programs PIPS (People In Profit System): A substantial restructurization of PIPS, Inc can be expected soon in order to improve the company's performance in terms of withdrwal requests. As a result, funds will be coming directly from the company's own trading platform in order to simplify the process of sending interest payments to the program's investors. Upon the introduction of this change, only merchants with a four-year experience in business will be invited for further co-operation with PIPS, Inc. Global Mutual: The setup of Global Mutual Credit Union is currently in progress, altogether with its MasterCard Cash and Debit Card services. In addition, a unique HYIP Adventure Plan is being developed - its launch is expected in the near future, and the company's investors are encouraged to follow further updates on this project. StudioTraffic: According to the words of John Horan, the ST manager, the company's reserves have hit one million dollars (the reserve fund is aimed to secure members' deposits). This result is explained by switching to StudioPay - the company's own payment system. ST will start targeting non-internet markets by providing money remittance services in all states of the US during the upcoming year (2006). The company's manager has also declared their intention to facilitate further development of the StudioCafe project. Reality Millions: The program extends its gratitude to all RM investors for their patience during the transitional phase. Those members who are willing to proceed with RM's further investment projects are subject to compulsory registration, with their personal data being requested. Alternatively, if a members chooses not to continue investing with this program, a complete refund of his/her deposit will be provided. You can discuss these and many other programs with fellow high-yield investors on our forum at http://www.hyipdiscussion.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In Focus: Forex-Trading (in co-operation with http://hyip-navigator.com E-magazine) Forex-Trading (http://forex-trading.ath.cx/) is a small brokerage company which offers several investment plans secured by daily trading on Forex. The company honestly warns its clients about the possibility of losses as this kind of business activity involves certain levels of risk. However, the company places great importance upon successful risk-management strategies to eliminate this possibility. The daily trading statistics is published on the website on a regular basis to keep the investors updated on any of the recent progress. The company's specialists practice a transparent business policy demonstrating their willingness to share skills and knowledge required for successful trading on Forex in the "Trading Academy" section of the website. The program offers several regular investment plans, a profit plan, and special managed Forex accounts. The deposit range for the regular plans is US $20-10000, with a daily profit of 0.4-0.7% per day. A 5% deposit fee is applicable at no withdrawal fees being charged for this option. The minimal investment for the program's profit plan is US $250 (with the maximum being currently fixed at US $20,000). This option offers a special managed Trader's Account with 10% risk of the total account balance. The trading results for this plan are independent from the regular plans. A 10% fee is applicable every time the money is transferred, with a 90% profit/loss sharing of the Forex trading results. Finally, the special managed Forex account option, with the investment range of US $1000-10000, offers a conservative trading strategy with the same 90% profit/loss sharing but a lower withdrawal fee (2%). The daily trading results for this plan are available in the "VIP Lounge" section of the company's website. The program is also offering a 5% referral bonus under the regular investment plans only. The interest is paid to internal accounts on a weekly basis with US $10 being set as a minimal withdrawal amount. The company accepts deposits either via E-gold or wire transfers. In case with E-gold, the deposited amount appears on the account balance instantly. The processing time for withdrawals is between a few hour and ten working days, depending on the amount of money being withdrawn. Forex-Trading is using a dynamic CX domain to prevent the possibility of DDOS attacks. In case this type of an attack ever occurs, the company's database is completely secure and the website will be restored within a few hours. Another security feature implemented on the program's website is a PIN-protection system, similar to the one of E-gold: every time you attempt to enter your internal account a PIN code is sent to your e-mail address in order to prevent unauthorized access. If the PIN code doesn't arrive on time, allow a few minutes for the message to appear in your mailbox. Forex-Trading offers an extensive customer support via their contact form, bilingual forum (English and German), and Skype (free online phone call service). A newsletter with most recent updates is also issued on a permanent basis. The program is not heavily advertised on the Internet and has never been for the entire time of its operation (a few years). This fact indicates its independence from the influx of new funds, proving the company's actual involvement on the global currency market. Furthermore, the administration of Forex-Trading has announced the upcoming closure of the program to new members. Hence, we view Forex-trading as one of the most credible investment options currently available on the web. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Snapshot: ASTRA Systems -Investment Plans ASTRA Systems (stands for "Advanced Strategy Trading Systems") is an online high-yield investment program involved in stock trading and brokerage activities. The company offers two plans for prospective investors: you may either choose to receive 9% per week or 20% bi-weekly. For those who prefer to diversify, multiple accounts are allowed. The principal is locked for 90 days. You may withdraw it prior to the maturity date, but in this case a 30% is applicable. The minimal amount is $10 USD, while the maximum is fixed at $5000 per day (and per account). The process of crediting your internal account is instant, and withdrawals are paid automatically to you via E-gold. ASTRA Systems uses E-gold for all transactions - however, an additional e-currency might be added, should there be major demand for it. -Staff and Business Concept The program is currently run by four people: Herbert Kronbaum (Head Manager), Manuel Camus (Web Development), Trudy Moreland (Client Support), and Sidney Oldham (Corporate Support). ASTRA Systems generates returns for its clients by contracting traders who operate at Eurex and other stock markets. Eurex is a relatively new electronic market, founded as a joint venture of Deutsche Borse AG and SWX Swiss Exchange. The market is currently offering an opportunity to operate a full package of financial and trading instruments on a daily basis. -Program's Website The company's website appears to be very professional, with a high level of security being maintained. In April, 2004 ASTRA Systems was experiencing some technical problems, so they had to terminate their online presence for a while, with full refunds made to all investors. Now the company is back with a new site, which leaves no reasons for concerns of any sort. Also, the German version of the website has been recently launched, since many of the company's clients are located in European German-speaking countries. -Customer Support ASTRA Systems offers an extensive customer support with a guaranteed response within 24 business hours. A collection of Frequently Asked Questions is also provided on the company's website. -Our Opinion The program's admin proved to be able to answer all of our questions in the interview he has given HYIP-Navigator. The company does not have offices opened to general public, so if you are considering a serious amount of money for investing with ASTRA Systems, we would suggest you try to obtain some more information on the company either from its staff or from Eurex (http://www.eurexchange.com/index.html), where it claims to operate, to verify its most recent trading activities. ASTRA System warns its investors that high yield equals high risk, and no guarantees of any sort can be provided. However, considering the program's successful performance in the past, we would recommend it as an alternative investment option for minor investors. ----------------------------------------------- If you are an admin of an investment program and would like it to be reviewed in our newsletter, feel free to contact us by e-mail at bravehoststamps@yahoo.com ----------------------------------------------- Bravehoststamps (bravehoststamps@yahoo.com) HI Newsletter
