Plus latest news on the popular programs.



New Private Club - several real underlying investments.

As it's a Private club I cannot give any details on this open web page, but you will find some more details in my Members Area
. Or you can e-mail at Orchard.publications@ntlworld.com  with PP02 as the subject heading.

This will appeal to both passive and active members with a format reminiscent of hybrid programs like QL and GMS.  It's also a breath of fresh air in the current climate of collapsing Ponzi HYIPs!







Imperia Invest update - some clarification and new timescales.

Imperia have provided an update that clears up some of the rumours that have been circulating and provides some new timings for when things should happen. 

It's important information and is in your back office. It's the update dated 23rd May.  

Imperia remains closed to new members.







 

StaunchFinances update - still going strong after one month. 

Here's the latest newsletter from StaunchFinances which appears to be running very smoothly:


ONE-MONTH OLD!! Yes, our program is one-month old today!! Thanks to all of you, we are not slowing down and we are definitely on our way to becoming the *Number 1 HYIP* right now. I've a few things to talk about and I hope you take the time to read this newsletter entirely. Don't worry I'll try not to make it boring.

 

First off, I would like to mention the current state of our industry right now. If you've been doing this for quite sometime and have been a member of a few sites besides SF, then you'll  know that it is really saddening how a lot of you lost money to many of this quick, fly-by-night sites. They open up, lure a lot of people with their high-ROI offering and nice designs, then close up shop after one or two rounds. I know that a lot of you go play the game knowing the risks, but I don't think 'losing' to the game is part of your plan.

 

Then you have admins like Kevan (Hydro Funds) who we know can run a perfectly honest program yet many failed to see that and preferred to hit-and-run (HnR) the program. I am not a member of his program but I know his attitude towards this arena and I know that he would've tried his best to give you all a fair chance had he gotten better member support. I was actually reading his thread on MMG and I saw a lot of support, except for a few bad apples, so his program could've lasted much, much longer.

 

What do you say we change this attitude? We can't be *numero uno* if some of you have that attitude here. What do you say if you actually supported our site by referring other people, posting your payment proofs at our different forum threads and creating a *community atmosphere* at the same time? How about joining our contests and prove to everyone you are the *best* at something? Doing all or any of these will give this industry a new life as they'll have a place to go to now, and they'll know that this program and their investments are SAFE. I challenge you to make the change!

 

Anyway, onto some cheerful news! Today we start our contest 'STAUNCH'S BEST OF THE BEST!'. The rules are simple: BE THE BEST AT SOMETHING! No more, no less.

 

Some categories I've thought of are:

 

- BEST INDEPENDENT BLOG WRITE-UP/REVIEW

- BEST VIDEO EXPLAINING STAUNCH FINANCES (YOUTUBE OR FACEBOOK VIDEO)

- BEST STAUNCH FACEBOOK PROFILE

- BEST PROMOTER

- BEST FORUM POSTER

- MOST ACTIVE HELPER AT THE FORUMS

 

But there could be more as we go. And this will last for two weeks.

 

A total of $1000 cash prizes are to be divided among the winners! You can submit your applications at staunchfinances@gmail.com and put in the subject 'CONTEST APPLICATION' and put the relevant links in the body of your message.

 

FOUR (4) RANDOM DEPOSITS TODAY WILL ALSO WIN $25 EACH!

 

We currently have 915 members! Now onto the thousandth member!

 

We have been receiving a lot of rebate-to-wallet transfer requests, we know that this saves time and payment processor fees for both parties. Know that we have NO plans on implementing this feature in the script but you are welcome to request the transfer instantly via LiveChat or via the support email (include all pertinent information like your username and amount to transfer).

 

We are currently rank #4 on Money-news-Online blog! That's an amazing feat considering we are only a month old. Let's work on becoming #1 shall we? That's the ONE AND ONLY TARGET that I, and all of you should, have.

 

What else? Hmmmm....... I guess that's it! Congratulations to all of you for the 1st month anniversary of our program! But why stop there right? The potential now is endless since clearly there is not one big program the likes of GNI, Pana, PTV in the current market. So why not shoot the stars and make it Staunch Finances!

 

Thank you and hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

Brent

Warning on US Financial Meltup - worth viewing!


Aballong comes clean on problems - attempting to resolve them.


Plus latest news on the popular programs.



Warning on US Financial Meltup - worth viewing! 

The Financial Freedom Group sent me this video which paints a rather dire picture for the financial stability of the US and most of the western world. 

It's certainly food for thought and maybe gold and silver in your home safe might be a very good idea, if what they are predicting comes to pass!

Meltup was just released a few minutes ago! Be the first to watch NIA's new MUST SEE documentary by going to Meltup


The National Inflation Association believes Meltup is the most important economic documentary ever produced in world history.







Aballong comes clean on problems - attempting to resolve them.

Aballong has been struggling to get withdrawals paid out recently.  I have received all mine apart from one Liberty Reserve payout.  But they have now issued the following announcement:

Martin and I recognize this was a extensive quietness. We confronted countless troubles, as strictpay is still not replying on the notarized papers, alertpay also restrain sections of our money, and Martin perhaps not invest and gain the yields we promised.


Martin and I are not gone.

 

Martin and I did carry on installing  the money, we can access to our bookies.

 

We will pay everybody the contracted returns, with delays.

 

We will deactivate the withdrawal possibility until June 15, Martin should regain the returns we promised with the residue of the money we have in our bookies.

 

All payments will be handled on the 15. June 2010 in Solidtrustpay, Liberty Reserve, Perfect Money or Bank Wires.

 

Please be understanding if we did not respond to you by email.

 

Martin and I will focus in turning Aballong back to the program it was formerby the strictpay, globaldigital and alertpay incident.

 

Regards Alrea


So Aballong members must wait a month to see if they can resolve these issues, if not, it looks like Aballong will fold.

Forex4free - a bit of clarification!


UK-based 'Endowment Policy Plan' - second reminder to read latest news items.


Plus latest news on the popular programs.





Forex4free - a bit of clarification!

I received a bit more clarification on Forex4free from a colleague:


By December of this year they will be closing out all old accounts. The new registration for the new website will be your only account, so it is important for old members to sign up the new one here:

http://www.forex4free.biz/?language=english&ref=orchard


PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL YOUR REFERRALS SIGN UP AGAIN FOR THIS SECOND ACCOUNT.


New people can still register the old site till December. Everybody who will sign up on the old site or are already signed up, will get 1500$ on the 1st of December. You only need to sign up and wait until you get a newsletter with further instructions. Old Site can be accessed/registered here:

http://173.192.210.85/~forexfre/?language=english&ref=orchard

Also, they have never asked for our tel. number, address or social security number. All they ask for is real name, user name, password, email address. Nothing to worry about.


So to recap:


Forex4Free.org(old)

New people are able to get 2 different accounts before Dec 1. Everybody who will sign up on the old site or are already signed up, will get 1500$ on the 1st of December to be traded in a managed Forex account. You only need to sign up and wait until you get a newsletter with further instructions.


Forex4free (new)

The new site will have to be registered by anybody being a member of the old site. Depending on how their FX trading is going, every user will get money into his account, for free. As soon as your balance will reach 500$ you'll need investing it into the plan, then ref commissions will be paid out. 25$ for each new user 4 levels deep.

Strictly one account per person (1 old - 1 new account), but you can have your family members sign-up and earn you bonus funds. Pass these instructions on to people you are inviting in.


NOTE: For eventual support you may join their very active Forum, please register here:
http://forex4free.forummotion.com/profile.forum?mode=register 


One thing I noticed was that on the .biz site quite often when I log in on Internet Explorer it works for about a second and then goes back to the log-in page.  I found that logging in using Firefox works every time.






UK-based 'Endowment Policy Plan' - second reminder to read latest news items.


Many of you joined the UK-based 'endowment policy plan' a few months ago. 


If you haven't done so already, it is imperitive that you read the latest 'News' items in your back-office as you can now make your purchases and these need to be done quickly. 


Let me know if you need AlertPay. Also you can use a credit/debit card via AlertPay.

Forex4free - you need to sign up again!


Plus latest news on the popular programs.



Forex4free - you need to sign up again!

I just received this information from a colleague tonight:

Everyone needs to go to this new url and sign up again for a SECOND ACCOUNT.


http://www.forex4free.biz/?language=english&ref=orchard


No worries about old accounts: they are still valid and old earnings/referrals won't be lost!

This will mean more money for everyone. Here is what admin just sent me:

"But everybody need to sign up new in the new website, to get 2nd money for a 2nd account, and to receive newsletters regarding the first project."

Please go to this url

http://www.forex4free.biz/?language=english&ref=orchard

PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL YOUR REFERRALS SIGN UP AGAIN FOR THIS SECOND ACCOUNT.


It appears that becuse they have changed domain to a .biz domain that there is a need to sign up again, preferably using the same referrer as last time.  I don't fully understand why, but it sounds like we'll receive $200 free on this account as well!

Your old account is available at http://173.192.210.85/~forexfre/?language=english&ref=orchard

The program is explained in my blog below for 12th April.

1 gram of FREE gold - claim yours today, worth nearly $40!


Staunch Finances working well - strategy is key!


Plus latest news on the popular programs.





1 gram of FREE gold - claim yours today, worth nearly $40!

I was introduced to BullionVault this week and collected my free 1 gram of gold.  It arrived in my BullionVault account within hours and is now mine and valued at nearly $40 and increasing in value.  It's real gold and is stored for me as part of a gold bar in their vaults.  BullionVault allows me to to trade that gold as the price goes up and down and make it's value grow.

Sound to good to be true?  Well it's not, but there is a slight snag.  There's a minimum withdrawal of $100, so if I want to realise the free gift in real money I will need to fund my account with another $60 or so, before I could withdraw the full $100.

However, in the present financial climate, where the real value of paper money and the money in your bank or savings account is declining in real terms, it's a very good idea to have some of your money these days in gold or silver, and BullionVault is a very easy and flexible way of doing this.  You can add to your deposits any time you like and withdraw funds at any time.  There's a very small fee for buying and selling (0.8% and less for large amounts).

This is not a program, but a real 'bricks and mortar' business with real gold and real vaults in New York, London and Zurich. 

Why are they giving gold away?  To introduce the ordinary person to a very easy way of buying and selling gold, starting with small amounts - this is not normally available, as you usually have to deal in much larger amounts.

I have been tempted by one or two of these gold and silver coin programs that are on the net, but the mark up on their prices is usually very large and the programs are usually MLM, so it's nearly always the admin and the big recruiters that gain.  OK, this company does offer referees 25% of their commission, but it's definitely not an MLM set up.  But you can always ask your friends, contacts and family if they would like $40 of gold for free and make a little more gold for yourself.

It's very ease to register for your free gold - just sign up at http://www.bullionvault.com/#orchard and they send you by e-mail a getting started guide, a brochure and details of their charges.

If you wish to fund your account it's by bank transfer only.




Staunch Finances working well - strategy is key!

I introduced this to you a week or so ago, and I am impressed so far.  Many of you joined under me and some of you have asked advice on how to play it.

This is, of course, up to you.  You can fund and keep withdrawing your profits each day until you are in profit - this takes 32 days (not 16 days as I was told by my sponsor - apologies for the error).  Then you can re-invest some of your subsequent profits. 

The strategy I have adopted is to re-invest 80% of what I receive and withdraw 20%.  That way I am building up my investments as I go along and drawing an ever increasing income.  But, I am receiving referral commissions as well, so I got into overall profit within 2 days and my strategy was then very easy to implement, as I was straight away in a 'can't lose' situation.  However, I think this program is set to run for quite a while and the 80/20 strategy should see you in overall profit within a couple of months or so and all the while you are reducing your risk.  Note that when I say 're-invest' you have actually got to withdraw the money first and then deposit it back into your account.

Here's the informaition that my sponsor sent me (corrected):


I believe that the most crucial aspect that will determine your level of success with any
program is the time of entry. Early entry is always better than later. This program is
now only 4 days old. Also, I am looking for programs that allow us to recover 100%
of our principal as quickly as possible. In this case, that time frame is 32 business days.


https://www.staunchfinances.com/?ref=orchard

 

Here are the program details as presented by my sponsor.

Begin
==========================================================

My contacts have brought to us another hyip that has some great potential behind it. A
great looking website, an admin who has done this before and an interesting twist on the
investment being offered to the members.


Staunch Finances opened on 4/21/10. The website is being run on the Gotenks script.
This script has a lot of whistles and bells, both for the admin and member. The site is being
run on a dedicated Staminus server in addtion to SSL protection by GoDaddy. DDOS
protection is provided on 2 levels: one from the server and secondly from a LiteSpeed
web server.


Onto the best part of this hyip. Staunch Finances offers one investment plan. Each deposit
into Staunch Finances is split into two parts:


50% goes to a Short Term High ROI Plan – 20% Daily for 6 business days –
This portion of your deposit is paid upon expiry.


50% goes long term, Medium ROI Plan – 2.5% Daily for 56 business days –
The returns for this portion of your investment are paid daily upon request.


After 6 business days, the investor receives 60% of their principal back. Then after a total of 32 business days,
the investor has 100% of their principal back and the rest is all profit. This is an interesting twist
in a hyip. It allows the investor to get a portion of their principal back quickly and then we can
withdraw the rest on a daily basis. I like the fact that the admin has made his hyip stand out from
the rest of the hyip world.


The minimum to invest is $10 to a maximum of $15,000. All subsequent deposits will be at a $2
minimum.


Withdrawals will be paid within 3 business days and usually within 24 hours. Compounding
is not allowed. Once you deposit funds into Staunch finances, you will still need to hit the Make an
Investment button for another step.


Staunch Finances offers 5 payment processors: Solidtrustpay,
Liberty Reserve, Perfect Money, Strictpay and GlobalDigitalPay.


Referral commissions are 5% and
you do need to deposit first before you can receive any commissions.


In the forums, the admin of Staunch Finances goes by the username of bshack. Some of you who
know him will either like or hate him. His last program was a surf that opened earlier this year by the
name of 247 shack. The admin did heavily advertise 247 shack but the program never got off the
ground due to the nature of the surfing programs. He did manage to complete refunds to his members.


This admin has a vast experience in the hyip industry. If you read this blog on a consistent basis, you
will know that I like to get involved in hyips with either a known admin or one who has had experience
in running a hyip in the past.


We have another winner here with a lot of potential.
=====================================================================
End

Based upon my personal experience with passive income producing programs during the past
couple of years, I have adopted a very simple approach to these programs.

I will treat each and every program the same regardless of longevity and/or program details. If
it looks promising I will enter it earlier as opposed to later. One thing is certain. With any program,
early entry is always better than later entry. I will then hope for the best with the knowledge that any
given program can disappear at any time. Some programs will last a few weeks or months. Any program
that lasts 6 months is great. Any program that lasts a year or more is wonderful! The more you
diversify, the better your chances of being involved in one or more programs that do establish
some longevity. If you join at the beginning, such programs make up the losses from short-lived
programs while delivering a substantial income stream.

Bottom line - - Play the game or don't play the game. If you do....

.....do not use funds that you cannot afford to lose

.....recover your principal asap

....enjoy your gains and be prepared to deal with the losses

....always remember that higher returns means higher risk

PanaMoney update - site back up and withdrawals being paid.


PanaMoney site appears to be back up and working after a fashion, but there are a few glitches in the software that I noticed when I attempted to invest/withdraw.  Hopefully they will resolve these issues in the next few days. I received a withdrawal very quickly though, which is a good sign. 


Here's their latest update:


We are happy to announce that the new trading system starts trading on May 6 as planned.
All transactions in the accounts are available in their normal way; however, we are still working on the new updates in the client account area as announced in the previous newsletter.

The technical updates we are developing will not anyhow affect the trades nor any other transactions, although can cause some delays. All bank transfer and other withdrawals will arrive in the nearest 2-4 days.

Looking forward to our increased profits and improved features,

PanaMoney Technologies, Inc.




UK-based 'Endowment Policy Plan' - important updates available.


For those of you who joined the UK-based 'endowment policy plan' a few months ago, you need to look at the latest 'News' item in your back-office and take action.






Forex4free update - some changes coming and one or two copycat programs popping up.


This 'forex for free' site is not coping well with it's popularity as many thousands have signed up, but they are trying to make things better, as they say in the latest update:


Hello Partners,

1. if you had invested 200$ into  freeforex plan (not more)

2. all your ref commissions into "commission plan"

3. every other money into error plan

if you did something wrong we cant correct it . we´ll do it later, dont worry you only need to wait then a bit longer.

----

reflinks working fine, its just if you check it withour cleaning cache or something , whenever we try it, it works fine. we removed signup from homepage so must work better now

for english site choose this refllink www.forex4free.org/?language=de&ref=YOURUSERNAME it should work much better

----

---

we are workin on something to change the ref system into system where the money can be payout faster instead of waitng the 180 days, for that we will send seperate newsletter in the next weeks

hopefully everybody is enjoy our concept, we will keep our promises very soon.


Details on Forex4free are given below on my 16th April update. 


I have also received invites from sites with similar plans, but I suspect these are just copy-cat versions and the chances of them having generous investors in tow are unlikely.  I suspect all of them are probably scams of some form or at the very least e-mail harvesting programs, so be careful!  They all appear to be of german origin, here's a typical one Income4free. It's payout is even more long term.
