Imperia Invest maintain the butt cheek tightening for two more weeks…
As promised Imperia Invest has published an update in the back office. Surprisingly for them the update is pretty long and does provide some tempting news.
Of course, the end point is still not quite there and we have another two weeks to wait before anyone will be in a position to confirm one way or the other.
Again, the update is somewhat lacking in precise details so readers should be cautious about stating things as definite. Yes it does say that the iBanking platform will be available on 16 August. It doesn’t say anything about when purchased cards will be sent out.
If we assume that everything goes as planned any funds that can’t be claimed because owners didn’t purchase a card will be transferred to a trustee fund and disbursed to those who purchased an iBanking product.
Okay, so we are a step closer to the end and the update is positive. Having said that no-one should take things as a given. As always use common sense to understand what is going on. If cards are received and the banking interface is opened as we are told then we can start to really believe.
If you are lucky enough to be going away for two weeks where there is no email or internet you can avoid all the speculation that will most likely ensue between now and the 16th August. In some ways I’d be quite envious!
Lunchtime Profit Alert gets ready for new season kick-off…
One of the services I subscribed to last year was Lunchtime Profit Alert. The idea was simple (just the way I like it).
Each Friday you receive an email containing recommended bets on the upcoming soccer matches for the weekend.
Sad to say that the performance on a weekly basis wasn’t that spectacular. Not all was lost though as some pre-season recommendations did pretty well and recent activity at the World Cup also provided a profit.
Given the rather patchy performance I was a little hestitant to continue. Thinking about it though the annual subscription is pretty affordable so I’ve decided to see how things go this year.
As the new soccer season in Europe approaches the Lunchtime Profit Alert editor, Richie Forbes, has sent out an update mail that contains an encouraging update.
He is introducing a midweek email to profit from matches in the week. He’s also setting up a text alert service to advise members if things change prior to matches kicking-off. For example if a key player gets injured during training he’ll be on the text to tell members what they should do.
He’s also introducing Sport Spread Bets as part of the service. This is an area where he feels there are plenty of good wagers to be had.
So, if the idea of receiving regular wagers to place on soccer is attractive why not sign up for Lunchtime Profit Alert.
Making a purchase at WBwso…
I had a request from a reader that I thought would help others so decided to write this post. They wanted to know how to make a purchase at WBwso by using Liberty Reserve.
In many cases a purchase such as this is common across many websites so the steps I’ll take you through can be followed elsewhere, just change the relevant sites or payment processors you are using.
Clearly it is possible that some steps may vary slightly from site to site but the overall process should be similar.
Okay, so the first screenshot shows the home page at WBwso and if you are looking to make a purchase look at the Navigation panel on the left hand side, click on _purchase
This will take you through to the page showing all the current plans on offer. Scroll down and select the plan you want by clicking on the relevant radio button (the example shown here shows the last package as it makes it easier to show in the screenshot).
Once you’ve chosen the package scroll down the page to step 3 and fill in the amount you want to invest. Next, in step 4 choose Pay with Liberty Reserve
There’s another step, 5, at the bottom of the screen where you can confirm the purchase and agree terms and conditions.
When you accept here you’ll be taken to another screen where you can confirm the level of compounding (you may not find this step on other sites). After this is the payment processor interface, so here you will confirm the amount of purchase and the account that you will be paying.
There’s a Login button that will take you into your payment processor account (in this example that’s Liberty Reserve).
From here you will be able to login into your account at Liberty Reserve
When you complete the payment you will be returned to the original site (in this example WBwso) where your purchase will be confirmed.
I hope this very short tutorial helps people understand the process a little better, feel free to leave a comment if any more help is required.
A simple yes or no will do…
Will the price of gold go up?
Is the price of BP shares likely to go higher?
Does the S&P seem to be falling?
If you were to ask the above questions to a trader you’d end up with an answer that probably left you none the wiser. Of course there are arguments either way and it’s the brave soul who sticks out their neck to predict where things are heading.
For many people that’s one of the drawbacks of traditional trading. Add that to the sometimes complex and fiddly task of using trading platforms and you end up with many people who would like to trade choosing not to. Even if you manage to get a trade on you then have to watch it like a hawk, sometimes for hours on end, to see how it turns out. Just too much hassle.
What if it is was made much easier?
In essence all you have to decide is whether the answer to the above questions is Yes or No. And it takes less than an hour to find out whether you were right or wrong.
That’s Binary Options Trading.
With a blindingly simple user interface StartOptions provides members with the ability to trade Binary Options and earn up to 75% on each trade.
You also know straight away what the risk on the trade is so you don’t have to fret about mounting losses threatening your bank.
Joining is easy and you can quickly make a deposit to make your first trade.
Don’t worry support is always there for you and feedback is encouraged so that the site can be made even more user friendly.
Minimum deposit is $100 and maximum $5,000.
Whether you are new to the world of trading or an old hand Binary Options provides you with a chance to trade at a level you feel comfortable with.
Imperia Invest and Chinese Whispers…
Have you ever played the game where a group of people get together and two people sidle up together, one whispers something in the others ear. Then that person turns to the next one in the group and spy-like passes on the message.
As each person in turn has their go there’s a palpable rise in tension whilst they wait to see how the original message has changed on its way round the group.
Almost without exception as the last person calls out the message they heard it’s completely different from the one that started out. And that’s the fun of the whole thing!
With Imperia Invest things aren’t so funny.
Lots of people have been hanging on patiently until the middle of July expecting that cards would start to be delivered.
And yet when you look back at the last update from May that isn’t what is said. What they said was that the banking solution would be made available by mid July. It hasn’t. But is that really such a terrible thing?
We all know that the world of banking is extremely fickle and even the smallest hiccup can slow things down. So we need to give them time to react.
The update also said that cards were being tested until the end of July so it follows that until those tests are complete any bulk issue is on hold. What if they find problems? That may again create further delay.
I know I’m sounding like something of a cheerleader here and that really isn’t my intent. I know many people are upset and angry and whilst I sympathise given that we’ve had no update from Imperia let’s not start to rant and rave just yet.
As has been said many times before if these programmes pay out then all this angst would have been wasted energy, if they don’t then we all knew the risks going in and we shouldn’t spend valuable time searching endlessly for answers that may never appear.
In essence all this speculation is online Chinese Whispers and we all do well to remember that.
How UPFS aim to take the guesswork out of Forex Trading…
Learning a way to make a profit regularly at Forex can be a frustrating and time consuming activity. Especially if you have to do it alone.
Of course there are now many books and internet sites available that try to help you in this endeavour, some are good and some are not so good.
You could try one of the many varieties of robots on the market. The question always arises, which is the right one to use. Again some have merit, the vast majority don’t.
So how about a more personal approach? Training sessions that happen in real time. They allow you to learn at your own pace and interact directly to get your questions answered.
This service is available from United Pacific Financial Services (UPFS), they provide two or three hour sessions four times a day where you can learn via the internet at a pace that suits your own requirements.
They are a full brokerage service providing the popular MT4 trading platform and demo accounts to help you learn to trade for yourself. They run sessions at the following times (all EST):
- 5AM – 7AM
- 9AM – 12noon
- 5PM – 7PM
- 9PM – 12midnight
When you sign up the first two days are free, after that it is $10 per day (not per session). You can pay via Western Union, Bank Wire or Solid Trust Pay.
For an even more personal approach they offer intensive residential courses where you learn at a much greater level of detail.
If you like the idea of earning additional income from Forex but don’t have the time or inclination to learn how to do it yourself UPFS will trade funds for you (there is a 30% fee on profits made so please bear this in mind).
Lunchtime Profit Alert tips Spain at 11/10…
With just a few hours to go before the World Cup Final I couldn’t resist providing some advice from Lunchtime Profit Alert on who they believe will win.
Richie Forbes, owner of Lunchtime Profit Alert is going for Spain to win and odds currently available are 11/10 which whilst it won’t make you a millionaire would provide a few pounds to enjoy if he is right.
To be honest Richie has had a fairly patchy season when it comes to predictions but for the world cup he has made a couple of good winners, namely total goals to be scored under 169 which looks a done deal now and only yesterday his recommendation for over 2.5 goals in the Germay vs Uruguay game proved to be a winner.
For those who may not be aware of the service you receive an email on Friday lunchtime giving you about 3 wagers to place for the weekend coming.
He also provides ante-post tips where you can take better odds on markets that have a long way to run such as Premireship top scorer and the like. His record on these has been reasonable and have generally been better than the weekend forecasts.
To be fair the cost of the service is very economical so it may be worth you seeing whether you’d like to join as we approach a new soccer season.
Okay, so Richie says Spain to lift the World Cup, will you be brave enough to put money on it?
Team Themco now getting down to serious business…
Well the 7th of July is now well and truly behind us and Team Themco have achieved their target of 12,000 active members i.e. members who have paid for at least one spot in the programme.
The email that was sent out just after the closure makes it clear that now is the time for the work to start behind the scenes to make sure everything progresses to conclusion.
Having reached the necessary funding level the Insurance Company and Hedge Fund can continue with their work over the next few months.
Given the fairly hectic activity over the last few weeks it is possible that some dishonest people will have tried to beat the validation system. To thwart this Team Themco will be undertaking a full account audit in the coming weeks so there is still likely to be some changes in final numbers until everything is checked.
If you managed to become active before the deadline make sure that you check into the back office regularly as news will be posted there.
It’s probable that things will go fairly quiet for a while but from what I can tell they have kept to their objectives so far. If things move along as hoped payments should be appearing in the latter part of the year.
If you weren’t able to participate this time then you may well have a chance if they carry out their intent to run a Liberator 2 programme once this first one successfully pays out. You will have to be very quick though.
WBwso is pretty much set and forget…
The world of online investing continues to frustrate and annoy many of us as one programme after another fails to deliver on their promises or just refuses to communicate.
In this sort of environment it’s easy to forget that there just may be a programme out there that will deliver.
WBwso is really quite easy to forget about as it just does what it promises to do in a quiet unassuming fashion (just like you’d expect from us Brits!).
There is an investment plan available for pretty much all tastes from weekly returns right up to plans that last 3 years and aim to pay back $90,000 at the end (that’s based on just $100 investment).
You can also choose from medium term plans that last for a few months. The whole business model of WBwso is based on monetizing (is that really a word?) websites so that they can either be sold on or kept to produce income.
They also deal in domain names and other web related opportunities. The site is available in English and German with Spanish and Russian translations on the way.
If, like me, you yearn for a quiet stress free life then I’d heartily recommend checking out WBwso as it really is the closest to set and forget that I’ve found online so far.
PS I’ve got quite a few referrals who signed up but never made a deposit. Could you be one? If so I’d encourage you to check the plans currently available to see if anything takes your eye
PPS If you signed up under me and made a deposit how about adding a comment to tell people your thoughts on the opportunity
Global Pension Plan rush out denial of email…
Well it looks as though Global Pension Plan are continuing to frustrate and confuse the membership. Over the last week or so members received emails purporting to be from the GPP admin and advising that payment options would soon be available.
As it turns out a denial posting from the ‘genuine’ GPP admin has now been published. So what does this really tell us? That the old database hack is still being used to try and fool people into sending additional funds. It really is important that going forward you don’t act immediately on anything from GPP until you are sure it is genuine.
There are many people who are monitoring anything being sent out so it shouldn’t be too hard to wait a little while and see what they have to say.
Also, updates are always published in your back office so that is another way to check to see whether it is genuine or not.
Having said all that whilst the admin has denounced the email that was sent out they don’t really provide any concrete information about the real payout. Some commentators are suggesting that GPP is a scam and until there is some proof either way it will be beholden on us all to not spend too much energy or time trying to second guess what might happen.
The update on the site does indicate that payments can still be made so there is still a question over just how close any payout might be.
