The answer to that question depends on what one means by fast.
Let's just compare it to your average 9 to 5 job. Then, by that

Online investing - HYIP - alternative investments
INVESTING ONLINE-WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Online investment for most of us is a new concept and most of
the people are not at all familiar with the world of online
investing. What should be understood is that you cannot turn a
blind eye towards online investment and you should be well
prepared for it. The world of online investment offers
un-ignorable returns but on the other hand the risks associated
with online investment are also very high. So, there are things
that you should be aware of, before you venture into the field
of online investment.
If you are unaware of the path ahead, you should always put a
tentative foot ahead. The same goes for online investing also.
You are starting something new. So, there is no sense in putting
all your life's saving's into some online account. It is
commonsensical to start with small amount of money. When you
find that you can manage your account and when you find that you
get decent returns out of your investment, you should think of
investing more money in it. That can be the safest way of
starting with online investment. It is no doubt time taking but
it is also secure.
The best option for investing online or for that matter
investment as such is to invest money in mutual funds. The
reason is that when you are new to this field, you won't have
ample information about the different portfolios. But when you
invest in mutual funds, you are piggy banking on the expertise
of people who have the know-how in this field. You should also
plan on long term investments.
The commission charged by online brokers may be far less than
the full service brokers, yet you should be careful in dealing
with them. With online investment, you should always be aware
that there are many costs that may not seem obvious at a cursory
glance. Most of the times, online brokers charge a number of
fees that should be studied carefully.
Online investment is perhaps amongst the best ways to invest but
it also has some inevitable problems that you would come face to
face. So, there may be times when you won't be able to access
your account. It may also happen that you might be away from
your computer when the market sees a major movement. Online
investing can also become a headache if your internet connection
is not working. It may also happen that the system of your
online firm's server may crash because of some unexpected
software problem or for that matter anything could happen to
stop trading temporarily. It is thus essential that you have a
thorough understanding of the alternative trading options of the
online firm you are dealing with. Alternative trading options
generally comprise of automated telephone trading or calling a
broker.
What should be understood is that if you wish to be successful
in your online investment it is imperative that you keep your
eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Keep yourself abreast of
market developments.
HYIP-A WORD OF CAUTION
HYIP is perhaps one of the words which have gained great
popularity in a very short time. Well, the reason is quite
obvious. The reason lies in the name itself-High Yield
Investment Program. So, anything that gives high yield is sure
to catch attention and it surely has with HYIP. But is all the
hype associated with HYIP really worth it? Actually most of the
skeptics feel that the whole HYIP scenario is over hyped without
any reason. They argue that the whole high yield investment
scenario is replete with extravagant and over-optimistic claims.
In fact, some of their claims are not without justified reasons.
If you look carefully into the field of HYIP, you will find that
some of these offers are outright ridiculous. Yes, there are
some offers which are very intelligently developed to con the
people. Skeptics claim that there is not more than 3% HYIP that
actually deliver what they promise.
What you should understand before anything that a vast majority
of HYIP programs that you would find in the market won't be of
any worth. Most of such offers would require your serious and
careful observation before you commit your hard earned money.
High yield has always been accompanied with high risk and HYIP
is no exception. To be more precise, HYIP is perhaps the most
promising investment opportunity that you would find in the
market and that is why it is perhaps that most risky investment
channel. Also the number of con artists working in this field
may break any other previous record.
So, the bottom line would always remain the same with HYIP
programs. Invest with caution and reap good benefits out of it
but if you lose money don't cry over it. The very decision to
invest in a HYIP means that you are willing to take risks in
order to gain high yield. But let me not play the spoil sport.
Believe me, it is perhaps the best way to invest and the only
requirement is a bit of carefulness and observation. Well, it is
just a matter of common sense to understand that anyone who is
offering obscene returns in an impossible time frame is surely
not making genuine claims. And if you are gullible enough to
believe such claims, you have no right to be in this field in
the first place.
The best thing about this HYIP field is that you don't need to
work full time to invest and manage your investment. Working
moms can make merry with HYIP, so can full time working
professionals. They don't need to give more than half an hour a
day to take benefit out of their investments. And the best thing
about High Yield investments is that there is so much material
out there to help you with your investments. Articles like this
which you are reading at present are present aplenty on the
internet. So, your can easily get sufficient online investing
tips to generate income.
HYIP-PLAY IT SAFE!!
So, you have money and you want to invest in HYIP. It's a pretty
good thinking. HYIP is really rocking at this moment but and
this is a very big BUT. Do you know how to play in the big
league? If no then there is every probability that you would
burn your fingers. Investment is a matter of risk and you should
not be lured into thinking that nothing can go wrong. Things do
go wrong if you are not careful.
The best strategy with investing in any HYIP is to take your
initial
investment out as soon as possible. Yes, go on
re-investing with the profits made from that particular program.
You can also invest just half of your profits while keeping the
half with you. So, you would be making profits while continuing
with the investments. Now, if you are thinking why such
precautions when you know that your program ahs been a steady
performer for the last one year. Well, well. Just hold on. The
fact is that most of these programs actually have posted on
their sites that past performances are no guarantee for future
performances. And you should take a cue from them. This is very
true. Past performance can never be the guarantee for future
performances. There are hordes of unpaid investors to prove this
point.
There are some programs that pay you returns in their internal
accounts. It would be the safest and the most intelligent thing
to withdraw your money as frequently as possible and to never
let it accumulate. In addition to that when it comes to choosing
between compounding and non-compounding options, most of the
experts are of the opinion that a non-compounding one would be a
lot safer and saner. Yes, you may find that the returns won't be
up to the expectations but remember your Sunday school classes.
Greed is not good. Similarly, if you have found a new program
that seems very good, don't take the plunge outright. Be
patient. Wait for a while. Examine whether the program actually
delivers or are the claims hollow. Most of the programs which
are there to scam its investors don't last for a few months. So,
wait for a few months and see for yourself the genuineness of
the programs.
You can do one more thing. Just examine their website. If you
find that the script is professional with good security
features, it would mean that they actually mean business and
most probably they are not there for a short term. Contrary to
that, if the script is just standard with no specific security
features, in most probability the owners would run away with
your money. You should also avoid investing in programs offering
very high returns.
If you find that the program is offering you very high referral
commission that is the commission that is being paid to you to
attract new customers. This is the typical sign of the program
being a pyramid or ponzi scheme and the smartest thing that you
can do is to keep away from such schemes. And what's more, you
would be the reason for others losing money. So, keep a safe
distance from such programs. You can also get a very good idea
of such programs by listening to the feedbacks of people who are
already associated with that program.
HYIP-STRATEGY THAT CAN PROVE USEFUL!
There can never be a definite strategy for investing in HYIP. No
one can claim to have a perfect strategy for investing in HYIP.
The fact remains that we can give you a general idea about HYIP
and it would remain for you to make suitable choices. You should
be well aware of the general happenings of the world of HYIP to
make intelligent decisions.
The whole world of HYIP is full of "Pyramid/Ponzi" schemes. What
these scheme operators does is that they pay you out of the
interests of deposits of new members. In reality they don't do
any actual trading. And as a result they manage to remain afloat
for some time, may be for a month or two and when the numbers of
new members investing in these schemes get reduced, the owners
close down the programs and you would have to say good bye to
your money. You would be surprised to know that the operation of
such pyramid schemes is utterly illegal in most of the countries
but the fact remains that once you have lost your money, you
would find it very difficult or almost impossible to get your
money back. And if you are engaged in transaction through any of
the e-currencies the probability of recovery plunges down to nil
because of their policy of irreversibility of transactions and
high confidentiality (which in most of the cases influences
people to have such accounts in the first place). The only thing
that you can do is to take legal help which would be time
consuming as well as money consuming. So, don't let yourself
getting scammed, because there is no chance of getting your
money back.
So, there must be some way to ensure that you don't get scammed
in the first place. There surely are a number of details that
you can look into to avoid getting scammed. The first thing that
you can do is to look at their URL. You should look whether they
are using paid hosting services or are they using free hosting
services. For free hosting services the URL would be something
like www.name.service.com while for a paid hosting, the domain
would resemble something like www.name.com. You should
understand this that if a company cannot afford to pay for
hosting services, how it would be able to pay the promised high
returns. The same goes for email addresses. If the email address
is something like name@something.com, it is paid while if it is
of yahoo or hotmail, it is free. It would be wise of you not to
invest in a company which cannot afford to have paid hosting and
email services. Every company worth its salt eschews free stuff.
What you should understand is that in reality HYIP is in the
same mould as gambling. If you are planning to invest your
life's saving into it, please avoid it. It does not matter
whether the program in which you are planning to invest is
completely genuine or the company has been in business for a
relatively long period. All your investments can get completely
wiped out in a day with the slightest hiccups in global
financial markets. But yes, the reverse is also very true. You
can really get high yield in a very short time with your
investments. It's your luck and common sense. It would be better
though to choose five or six programs and diversify your
investments.
Hope you benefit with these strategies.
