Just a very quick post to let you all know that One-X sign up goes live tomorrow. Your out of pocket expense for one place is $5. Your reward will be substantially more. Let me know you are interested by sending your details via email to admin_at_onlineinvestingguru.com (replace _at_ with @). This really seems to have a lot of momentum behind it so you should read my previous post about it and let me know your details now…time is really of the essence on this one.

As I was recently reminded in a comment it has been several months since I’ve provided an update on Duellatorus and to be honest I was hoping this would be a positive response.

Sad to say that this is not the case. I’m a fairly laid back person and probably less diligent than I should be when following up on things. With Duellatorus that has created issues that I find difficult to report on.

I was recently contacted about a new network marketing programme known as One-X. My experience with network marketing has never been that positive so I didn’t expect to be that interested.

However, I’d kick myself if something came to my attention and I ignored it because of past prejudice. So, I decided to investigate some more to see what it is all about.

Well, it’s almost two months since Duellatorus started trading on my behalf. As a reminder this was a service that claims to use unorthodox methods when trading forex.

I agreed to invest some money and report on results as the months progress. Their aim is to make a return of 10% a month on invested funds.

The initial period of investment is six months and we are now a third of the way through. Anyone who has experience in forex trading will appreciate things never happen as expected. You need patience and belief to get you through both the ups and downs.

I received an email today from Matt Bisogno who runs the website Geegeez and he was pretty down. And I have a whole lot of sympathy for his predicament. Matt provides products and services to do with gambling. Now, in the UK this is all perfectly legal and to some extent encouraged. Unfortunately other countries don’t share this view and Matt has fallen foul of this prejudice.

I must admit I had great hopes for 2010 as I felt that we would at last see some positive returns from at least one of the plans scheduled to pay out. Well, as we all know nothing actually happened and it left people hugely frustrated and demoralised.

In the latter part of the year the bad news was compounded by the demise of both WBwso and CherryShares. These are just more examples of people putting their trust in so called ‘honest’ Admins that turn out to be unjustified.

Just a quick post to wish everyone best wishes for the season…I’ll be back early next week with some thoughts on 2010 and my hopes for 2011.

I’ve just been over to the World Pension Plus (WPP) website and notice that they need just another 113 policy purchases to reach their stated target of 70,000 policies.

So, it’s been a while since I posted about Duellatorus and the managed forex trading they will be doing on my behalf.

It’s not because things have gone badly, it’s just that they haven’t yet started. The broker they are using has taken a little time to get all their ducks in a row but it looks as though things are now ready.

I’ve been told that my money will be ‘in play’ from Monday 22 November. I’m looking forward to see how things go and whether I’ll be able to report monthly profits going forward.

Recently I came across a new ‘opportunity’ that advertised they were looking for testers to provide feedback on a new sports trading system.

I’m always keen to see what else is out there so clicked on the link and was taken to the information page. Now, to me asking someone to be a tester suggests that the programme author wants some help. They’re looking for people from different backgrounds and experience to see whether what they’ve developed would work when scaled up.
