How many HYIPs do you diverse?

Cash Master · #1 02-27-2006, 01:15 AM

Yup the question says it all. I wonder if anyone here diverse in more than 30 programs at any given time or not.

The answer is more to do with how much time you have on your hands to administer them. If you play the ponzi game and diversify into 30 risky investments then you will need a lot of time as you will be chasing round them all and the forums checking all the time.

My philosophy is to have about 5-10 safe investments (less than 20% a month) and then about 5 higher risk ones. Diversifying can be good but don't do it too much, I have known people to diversify into 40 programs and then 25 of them disappear. Better to choose wisely rather than think that more is better.

My strategy is entirely different,

I am preparing DD for a few HYIP, pick my best ones and start with all of them at the same time !!!

Good Luck to you, everyone has their own strategy, I would be interested to know how many people play the high risk ponzi game for longer than 6 months as it did my head in after only 3 weeks.

i dont think its a good idea to invest in so many concurrent hyip/autosurf, it quite har to maintain, rather like the otheres i go for couple of trusted ones, tt enough to help me make a handsome sum of money in the long run, they re all in my sig,

Thanks for lovely replies, mates.

Long-term programs are good for its lifetime, but I think it's too long to get pricipal back. Let's say a program pays 1% daily forever (or 30% per month) then it's up to 100 days to get your initial deposit back, and another 100 days to double the balance. It's almost 1 year already. What if the program turns out to be scam shortly after 100th day? You'll waste 100 days of time for nothing, not to mention the waste on internet and electricity bills.

Although you are correct that indeed you are wasting 100 days waiting, the losses you will incur because of scams can sometimes outweigh the lower profits from safer programs. If you do your research you will see there are several programs that have been independently verified that have lasted much more than a year.

If you want to play the high risk ponzi game then good luck to you , you will have a lot of hard work ahead of you as you jump in and out of all the different programs. I personally prefer to do the research and then wait and not have to worry whether they will disappear or not but each to their own.

Just been in the HYIP game for about a week now (migrated from the DXIO forum) and have got my fingers into 4 different pies at the moment. Because of time restraints I can't ever see me being active in more than five though.

I think I've managed to strike a balance between some lower risk/long term and higher risk/short term programs. Key for me is research before investing - I'd rather invest in a few seemingly good propositions than split my investment across 30 or 40 programs that I'm not too sure about.

If the 4 programs in your signature are the ones you are in then most would consider them of the higher risk variety and yes 4 high risk programs would take up plenty of time.
