My first blog!

Wow, here it is...my first blog. Yes, I know everyone seems to have one these days, but for a techie, I'm quite a way behind on this one.

I've kept a e-diary for a couple of years now, and the more tangible diary in years gone by, but I've never shared, but finally I've realised it's about time to share with the world the inner workings of my mind...we will see!

So, a bit about me! I'm a male in my mid-20's. I was born in the UK and have spent almost every moment of my life in this country (I've never been one for holidaying!). I work for a large corporate, though I don't feel like too small a part of the place.

My passions would have to be Music, IT & Cycling. I don't consider myself to be an exciting person, and by this description of me, you probably think the same!

Things you'll probably hear quite a bit about in this blog are:
  • My money saving techniques...no, I don't re-use teabags, or anything that extreme, but I invest money wisely, and I'll probably share a few opportunities with you for those low-risk 'investors' like myself.
  • My "love-life". I've found myself attracted to a few number of people in my lifetime, and yet, those I connect with, I make a huge and instant connection with...I'm always interested in learning more about why I'm so fussy and yet so quick to identify those I will develop feelings for.
I'll leave it at that for now. Hopefully this will provide a bit of background info for those reading later posts of mine.

and so the blog begins....

Update following CobexTrade

Well its not been the best start to the new year. My favourite e-Currency site, Liberty Reserve, seems to be coming under sustained DDOS attacks, making the site sometimes hard to access. But worse still, CobexTrade has gone. CobexTrade is a reminder (not that I wanted one!) that HYIPs are not just High Yield, but also High Risk. These sites come and go, and even with a very high reputation, CobexTrade has died. So what now? Well I still have some other funds, partly earned on the GoldAge forum , which I don't think I've mentioned here before. GoldAge is a forum dedicated to investors on HYIPs etc... and it actually pays its members for posting! Not a lot admittedly, but its nice to earn at the same time as get good advice from fellow HYIP investors. Here's my current portfolio...small as it is again now: BreInvest Sochi-Invest.org Golden Purse CobexTrade has been an unpleasant reminder not to get too secure a feeling from HYIPs...I lost a lot of my egold there...but lesson...

How I'm protecting my investments from a stock market crash

Whilst I don't believe market forecasters have a crystal ball, it's clear that over the last two years Coronavirus, radical political leaders, and now a potential energy crisis have unsettled businesses and market investors alike. As markets dropped in the early part of the pandemic, I bought into some generalised funds, as the recovery seems relatively predictable. As we move back towards normality however, things are less predictable, and questions remain about the stability of markets, and whether stocks are now over-priced. So where do we go from here? Remind yourself of your goals Whilst "profit" is an obvious goal for investors, the timeline for this profit is more unique to the investor. Those getting close to retirement will likely have a different appetite for risk than those in their 20's. It's important to work out your own appetite for risk. For me, my appetite for risk has grown has I've become more confident in my approach. My goal is however...

Get paid to use Yahoo Search Engine!

Wow, well I knew one of these days that I'm come across a good money maker that I'd missed. Well this is that moment. Rather tragically, I came across MySearchFunds.com some years back and ignored it (I forget why, but I wasn't on my quest for money making ideas back then). Well MySearchFunds.com, which has now changed its name to Homepage Friends (a rather naff name change if you ask me), pays you to search the web. This used to be through Google, but they have recently switched over to Yahoo as their search provider. But nothing really changes. You goto your search page (set as your homepage for ease) e.g. mine is: http://www.myhpf.co.uk/mypage.asp?OrgID=87564 All the then have to do is use the search box to search with Yahoo. The results are no different to Yahoo's normal results, and you end up with about 2.4p (that's about $0.048) per search. At the rate I'm going, I'll have about £250 ($500) this year from the site... that makes my quest for...
