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 lessons will be learnt.

So now I'm planning to spread my money out...I'll invest (particularly in BreInest for a very short period) and then lift out half my funds into further sites, slowly spreading the risk, and my portfolio...hopefully this way we'll see some real increases in the funds.

I'm still using wjob and donkeymails to bring in fresh funds..so fingers crossed I'm still ontrack with my plan!

How I enter the Euromillions and UK National Lottery Lotto for free

In my quest for low risk investments, I've always sought to earn small rewards from websites, that I can risk at a later point for larger earnings. I've come across and used a few "paid to search" websites before, that generally use the Yahoo! search engine, and pay their users for using their service (logically paid for from the advertising revenue Yahoo makes). For the last years I've settled on Search Lotto which pays you in the form of syndicate entries in the Euromillions and UK National Lottery Lotto draws. I've won lots of small payouts, which are always paid out to my PayPal account within a few days of the draw. I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed. How it works Once you join Search Lotto , you can either download a browser extension, change your search engine settings in your browser, or just remember to go to their website when searching the Internet. When you've performed 25 searches, they give you a free entry into a lottery draw. You c...

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...
