Several people in this thread have been making veiled attempts to get you to join programs.
Please note that it is illegal for these programs to recruit money from US investors without a securities license, which I am 99.5% sure they don't have.
If you still want to invest with these Bernie Madoff feeder funds after everything that's happened over the past several months, you probably deserve to lose your money.
However, if you are a reasonably wise person, this is the first time in 20 years that you can get yields nearly as good as HYIPs from the markets. Safe, boring utilities are yielding 8%. Pipelines; 12%. REITs; 14%. High grade corporate bonds; 10%.
GE is another decent pick. I guess it's another HYIP, too, but at least you know what's going on and why you're losing money. If you invest in the stock market, you might only earn 35% in a good year, but when you lose money, you can at least console yourself with the fact that you lost it fair and square and it wasn't stolen from you.

Any post I make should not be construed as an investment recommendation on behalf of myself or my firm.
Call me a skeptic but If you decide to invest in stocks DO NOT trust it on someone else. DO YOUR OWN research as most users have alluded to, there are alot of 'Madoffs' out there that are out just for themselves
Due diligence is an absolute must especially in these economic times ,even many of the professional advisors lost millions for there clients .Know the risks and protect your money.
I wonder how you earnt that money, keep that way if dont want to lose money on these hyips...
better buying blue chip stocks as someone mentioned and writing calls to take premiums this is also one way to profit better...
Sobir!
Just remember that HYIPS are not solid and safe High Yield Investments.
If you do play the hyips please get in and get out with both your principal
and profit so you do not lose. But play them like the penny stocks knowing
you could lose everything. Again, it is best to get in a good one for only a
short time and then get out completely with both principal and profit intact.
It is better to get involved with real high yield investments.
The best way to gauge a good stock in this bear market,
- is a low P/E Ratio, it should be less than 5.
- It has a high volume, meaning you can dump and buy a stock quickly
- it should have a good cash flow. So see utility stocks
Or you can Start with this book: "Investing For Dummies." Gives you all the basics.
If you have $150K we can provide a credit line of $10 Million, which is then traded yielding 5% or $500K per week. I cannot discuss further here. For details, pm me or leave your email address here.
I would prefer in investing on various areas like some investments in banks like Fixed deposits, some in insurance where we get the more then we invested but after couple of years. Some investment in Mutual funds and ETF's.
