For those who have waited patiently for month after month the fact that the Global Pension Plan website has been taken down can only add to the concern that things aren't looking positive.

Of course, those with a more positive frame of mind may see this as the inevitable next step in the completion process. The site admin did say that applications would close on 31 January so the site no longer being available may just mean that the next stage is being entered into and work is underway to begin the payout process.

Whichever camp you are in there is no doubt that in terms of communicating with their investors Global Pension Plan have not performed well.

We are all now in limbo waiting for some form of update that would give investors better information. I know a few people thrive on speculation and go from being very positive to very negative and back again in a very short timeframe. Personally I prefer to wait for some definitive information from the admin as they are the only people who know the facts.

My family are uneasy and keep asking questions I just don't have the answers to and whilst it is frustrating for everyone there is little of a practical nature we can do for the time being. My advice would be to hang in there and let some more time pass before passing final judegement.
