PPP - Private Placement Programme

[dalenorth]

For a start, no I dont have the money to participate and if i did, i probably wouldn't take the risk.

However, I have read alot on the net and heard of people entering them with £1m + and im just interested to find out what peoples opinions are on these investments/trades??

99.9% of them are scams and the 0.01% that are not only provide moderate to average returns. They usually use the words guaranteed by an AAA Rated Bank/get 30/60/90% a month/guaranteed to repay capital in 90/100/365 days etc etc - on top of that you can never seem to actually speak to a genuine person who has done one as they all want to keep it 'quiet' and don't want too many people doing it etc etc... all very similar to 'managed forex accounts' etc etc.. they just keep of thinking up ways to remove your money off you, and a lot of wealthy individuals fall for it and don't take action afterwards because they realise that they have been such fools!!

F458, thats exactly my understanding, I think if someone could double their money weekly, then why would anyone with wealth bother running large stressful companies if things were that simple. I understand that high returns can be achieved with leverage, but not that high........
