10 symptoms of a Dying HYIP

Almost all tips below are not new to the old-timer HYIP investors. But for those of you who are clueless about this, it’s time for a read;
1. A HYIP can last from few weeks to few months. If you know the HYIP is X months old already, then it’s nearly at the end of road. X depends on the yield offered, the higher the yield offered, the smaller X will be.
2. HYIP is about a game. Administrators of HYIP must be the ones who are expert in nothing, except a story-making. Normally whatever reasons they give, they all are the last attempt to delay the doomsday.
3. DDOS/hacker. Almost all HYIPs admins talk about DDOS and hackers before the were gone forever.
4. System unstability. Why suddenly after few months the so called system go unstable? Beware, system unstability normally is an uncured sickness to any HYIP and may result in an overall system fatality.
5. Complaints. Take a really sharp observation on this one. Increasing number of complaints indicates something wrong with the program. Don’t simply ignore it.
6. No more cheerleaders. Some of them start talking about another programs and willing to help you with that new program. Maybe you want to check the referral commission they are offering?
7. Admins being busy. You rarely see admins answering questions and entertaining the members. You really miss them.
8. No more please’s. You rarely see admins or members talk in a friendly way. A lot of unsatisfaction around.
9. Website not accessible. Things go tougher nowadays.
10. The page cannot be displayed / Server not found. Oh dear! It’s the great RIP.
Btw, I hope that I’m not offending anyone. Truth hurts, but what make us smarter is to learn from things that we have done yesterday. Cheers!
p/s: not all HYIP programs intended to scam people, but, any program life cycle is about create-run-die. Face it.

Well, while the statements above are not lies, they don’t give you the whole picture. Many program owners are scammers. Their only will is to run with your money. There are more scams out there than serious long term programs.Over the years large amounts of people have lost their money as a result of being involved in High Yield Investment Programs.

Given the fact that the HYIP industry is a very risky one, most people are very hesitant when it comes to investing in HYIP's – which is legitimate. However, not being aware of the risks is the main reason why people are losing their money. There is a great number of cases where people have thought they’ve found an incredible opportunity and gladly invested their entire fortune. When the programs later went out of business, the consequences have been devastating.

Although there are unserious players in all markets, the HYIP arena seem to have more of them than many other industries. The reason for this is the big amounts of money involved and the fact that it’s pretty easy to steal money on the net.

Taking both the negative and positive aspects of High Yield Investments into consideration, the conclusion is; If done right, High Yield Investments can be extremely lucrative.

This is where we come into play. We are constantly studying and researching the market. We are also investing in a number of HYIP's to be able to analyze them and keep track of their payments.

What is HYIP

HYIP, which stands for High Yield Investment Program is just what it sounds like, a program offering a high yield investment. HYIP's are offering probably the most profitable investments available today. Interest rates of up to 100% a monthis not uncommon. In general the interest rates are ranging anywhere between 5 – 250% a month.

HYIP's are using different investment strategies. Some invest in stocks, others in property. There are even HYIPs investing in other HYIPs. Probably there are also programs that are not investing at all. These belong to the scammers. You’ll read more about unserious HYIPs further down this text.

Most HYIP's use different e-currencies as their way of accepting funds from members. E-gold is undoubtedly the most commonly used one hence the many program names containing “Gold” or “E-gold”. E-currencies makes instant and secure money transfers possible online and have very much paved the way for HYIP's.

The phenomenon of Hyips is growing bigger and bigger on the internet today. Every day new programs are being launched. Lots of people are earning fortunes investing in these programs.

Interest rates

HYIPs typically claim to offer interest rates of 1% or more per day on invested funds; many claim to offer much higher daily rates reaching 250% a day.

Such high interest rates raise the question: why would any business that can earn such profits, legitimately, bother to look for small investors? Such unusually high yields should tip off investors that there are serious risks involved.

As a comparison with a typical 1% per day claim, [[Warren Buffett]], the world's most successful investor, made around 30% per year during his most successful period, i.e only less than a tenth of one percent per day. If it is assumed that such huge claimed returns as 1% per day cannot in fact be produced legitimately, all HYIPs are therefore likely to be Ponzi schemes, and so most investors will in due course lose their money.
