This looks like the best place to start the thread, despite what's already here as the topic seems to adequately match and the "other" Global Mutual threads are not set up quite right ...
First, to answer the question posted; Yes, I have been investing in GM since 05/05. So far my total investment is just over $600 and GM has paid intrest as described. When I got in the "registration" was $10 it is now $20. All of my investments are in "Type A Venture Capital".
GM accepts a lot of e-currencies, however e-gold is the preferred currency and the only currency you can withdrawl in (Use e-gold to invest).
Recently there have been a few changes (as of 10/23/05);
Registration changed from $10 - $20
Intrest rates went down slightly
The forum is broken
There is now a %2 withdrawl fee (minimum $.010US)
You can ONLY withdrawl to e-gold
Withdrawl appears to have changed to manual and is now slower
The investment aspect appears stable and there have been no problems withdrawing to e-gold (other than speed). Overall it is a good program.
I put $10 in for the registration fee in August and it did not show up. After 3 weeks of trying to contact the admin, they finally deposited the $10 in the 4% weekly program, not the registration fee area.
When I try to invest, it directs me to the registration page because I have never been given credit for registering, although my $10 which was originally intended for the registration was placed in an investment program. I just wrote it off as incompetence, and decided I will let the account build up to $10 and see if I can withdraw it.
Before the site was 'redone', the forum was full of people complaining about all kinds of mistakes and unresponsive admins.
