It seems that all I’ve written about over the last few months is online investment programmes that have failed. Without wanting to stir too many bad memories we had Gold Nugget Invest, Genius Fund and latterly PTV  Partner. These seemingly genuine programmes ultimately fell and many people will be left disappointed and in some cases out of pocket.

So, now we know PTV Partner has made it clear that they cannot survive and they will close up immediately. When I first read the start of the latest update I knew almost immediately what would follow.

Anyone who has been following the fortunes of PTV Partner will be keen to see how things turn out in this coming week.

In their last newsletter they made the assertion that all pending payments would be up to date by cob Tuesday 27 April. This will be a key barometer of just how well the company has overcome the recent challenges they have been facing.

Having discussed posted about helping the environment yesterday I thought I’d continue in the helping vain by reminding readers about Kiva.

This is an organisation that provides financial support to people in less developed countries who are running their own business and supporting a family or their local community.

Whether you’re a believer in the effects of climate change or not I’m sure like the vast majority of people you want to make the planet we inhabit the best it can be for all.

Today is Earth Day and whilst I’m certainly not of the tree hugging persuasion I do support any initiative that encourages us to improve our environment.

As we fast approach the end of April many investors who haven’t yet purchased an Imperia Invest debit card package are becoming agitated that they won’t be able to get in before the deadline.

One of the big problems is that the Imperia website keeps getting taken offline for days at a time and this only adds to the frustration.

Whilst I can’t stop Imperia from taking their site down I can provide some help for people who want to know when a the site is either up or down.

The reason I ask is that my own experience is not that encouraging. I signed up just under a year ago and to date I’ve made $2.10 in earnings.

And yet the idea behind Affordable Affiliates isn’t too bad. It buys low and sells high so it fits an ideal business plan you’d think. The idea is that when you join you will be allocated inventory from the gargantuan range of items they sell.

There are increasing numbers of people who are struggling to get funds to the Imperia Invest depot account in order to purchase a debit card package.

Imperia has de-activated funding through Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money and are only accepting Procurrex at the current time (that is when their site is up of course).

In the world of online investing there are several well worn mantras that are repeated endlessly. Examples include ‘never invest more than you can afford to lose’ and ‘diversify investments to spread the risk’. All good advice.

I don’t think anyone could single HCI25 out as providing consistency in the way they do things. Their latest news item appears on their home page and informs visitors that the latest LDTP will start tomorrow, 14 April.

Clearly it is too late to take part in this latest offering unless you have funds readily available in a payment processor so I’m not sure why they are making this particular announcement at this time. They also say that the next LDTP offering will be on May 17th.
