Interview with the admin of VolcanoInvest

1. Please introduce yourself to my readers. What experience with online investment programs do you have?

Hello, I’m Rob, Admin of VolcanoInvest, Inc. More and more investors around the world are seeking alternative investment methods for earning good profit. Our financial team consists of five traders with 3 years experience. Their specialty - intraday trading on a FOREX market. The technical team consists of two engineers who support the VolcanoInvest site online. We trade the collected and personal funds to share our profit with all members.

2. Tell us more about the plans VolcanoInvest is offering to investors. What are the minimum and the maximum amounts to deposit? Is there some re-investment option available after a deposit expires?

Ok. Look at the Plans.

1) The Starter plan, minimum is $5 and the maximum is $50 for a single deposit, but you can make several deposits at one time. Rates: 105% after 1 day (including your principal).

2) The Standard plan, minimum is $10 and the maximum is $100 for a single deposit, but you can also make several deposits at the same time. Rates: 110% after 2 days (including your principal).

3) The Investor plan, minimum is $20 and the maximum is $200 again for a single deposit, but as before you can make several deposits at one time here too. Rates: 120% after 3 days (including your principal).

According our Terms - no payouts on Sunday. The Withdrawal button will be available after deposit plan expiration, payout request will be processed within 12 hours (usually faster). Also you can re-invest directly from your account balance, either a partial or full amount of the expired deposit. You can make an additional deposits (also with different e-currencies) as many times as you wish, but limit is 5 active deposits at one time. The maximum amount for all active deposits is limited to US$1000. All limits are set to prevent against hit’n'runner, hit’n'hunter practice.

E-currencies: E-gold (manually), LibertyReserve (automatically), V-money (automatically), AlterGold (automatically).

One level referral program. You can earn up to 3% on referral deposits.

After your investment expires you will have 3 options:

1) You can withdraw the full amount (your principal and your profit).
2) You can withdraw any amount you wish and re-invest the rest back to current deposit. Using this option you can really save money by excluding the payment processor fees.
3) You can re-invest the full amount (your principal and your profit).

3. Do you think such high rates will be sustainable in the long run? Why are there no payouts on Sunday available?

Yes, I think the rates are reasonable. Sunday is a weekend for us. A day off work.

4. Why did you set the maximum limit of $1,000? Do you think with this protection VolcanoInvest will run for a longer time?

I think yes. The maximum amount for all active deposits is limited to US$1000. All limits are set to prevent against the hit’n'hunter practice.

5. What payment processors do you accept and will you think about adding more payment options in the future?

We accept LibertyReserve, V-Money, AlterGold and e-gold. I plan to add PerfectMoney and maybe Pecunix soon.

6. What kind of script do you use? Is it customized and secure? It looks to me exactly like X-HYIP script I saw in other similar programs at the beginning of 2008. Can you tell me where you purchased this script?

Yes, this script was bought on eBay auction and seriously modified by the experienced programmers. Yes, this script is secured.

7. Do you have anti-DDoS protection implemented on VolcanoInvest site? Can you be sure that you will not suffer from future DdoS-attacks?

Yes, the VolcanoInvest site is under DDoS protection powered by BlackLotus Communication (BLCC). I plan to buy next protection level to increase protection level.

8. What advertising strategy are using to make VolcanoInvest known among potential investors and popular in the shortest time possible?

We use popular forums like MMG, TG, DTM and others. Of course the monitor sites. We also advertise via Get Paid to Read programs and via AutoSurf programs and more.

9. Your program is only a few days online. So how much time do you estimate VolcanoInvest will last?

I plan a long online life. In any case I will do the best I can.

10. What differentiates VolcanoInvest from similar short-term programs in your honest opinion?

The unique Withdrawal options, the open live statistics, fast support, fast payouts.

11. What would like to tell to my readers to encourage their participation in VolcanoInvest program?

I think, your readers can try with a small deposit to research VolcanoInvest site more carefully.

12. What is your opinion about my blog? In what way can it be of more help to online investors?

Very good site where people can get the plenty of information to help them make the right decisions. Good luck.”

As you can see from the interview with the admin of VolcanoInvest he actually tried to avoid answering my question about X-HYIP script. So I could only draw the conclusion that it’s really the same admin that ran Invest4FastProfit and other similar programs with this script in the first half of 2008. Well, the script has been modified of course and these modifications can be seen with the naked eye: for example, the stats are less detailed now and you can’t actually see the payout queue anymore. But is it such a bad thing that VolcanoInvest admin can be the same person who ran different programs in the past? Of course, not, there’s nothing wrong with it. All his previous programs ran longer than two weeks and I don’t think VolcanoInvest will be an exception. That’s why I can recommend VolcanoInvest to you even knowing that it’s coming from the same admin. It can be a great advantage because the admin is really a skillful person with a lot of experience that will help him avoid many bumps in the road to becoming a successful program in the future. Just treat VolcanoInvest as a game and don’t invest more than you can afford to lose! Then you will almost surely be a winner and make some profit.

Interview with the admin of MutualForexFund

1. Please introduce yourself to my readers. What position do you occupy in MutualForexFund?

It’s my pleasure to introduce MutualForexFund to your readers and tell you more about our business. My name is Warren Tulloch and I’m co-head of Mutual Forex Inc. Martin Fanning is Head of Mutual Forex Inc. and he has over 15 years experience in the equities market being responsible for developing investment strategies and overseeing investment manager and foreign exchange transactions. Rachel Vallano provides analytical support to our investment team, including the research, generation of ideas and attribution analysis. She also manages relationships with investors.

2. Please tell us more about your investment activities. Are the returns fully backed up by your investments?

Mutual Forex Inc. is a full service investment provider focused solely on the FOREX trading market. We believe that a Foreign Exchange Investment Fund should provide clients with every necessary and possible resource needed for success.

Running an online investment fund rather than conventional one provides us certain advantages against regular funds. Most important of them is that certain regulations which are normally applied to regular investment funds and strongly limits the way they can be managed are not applied to an investment fund which is operated strictly online. One of those regulations allows us to have short position when trading, which is strictly forbidden for offline investment funds. We are also able to collect investments from virtually anywhere in the world. The main purpose of existence of our mutual fund is to make it possible for everyone to be a part of the market and even make a living of it while having minimum trading experience.

3. Are the returns you offer to online investors guaranteed? What will happen if you are unable to pay the returns due to losses on the Forex market?

Members should understand that not investing their money is a risk in itself, because inflation will cause the purchasing power of their money to fall.

In FOREX Market there are winnings and losses too. They key is to deal with the losses. We use Margin Calls and Stop loss in our trades so if the charts don’t move as predicted the position will be closed automatically with a small loose for us. To fight back unsuspected situations in the FOREX market which could negatively influence our trading results we use various methods which also include a reserve fund, safe and also liquid. In case of a huge trading loss, we would use our reserve fund to pay our investors until we recover. Another method is to lower the return for a month or two until the situation goes back to normal.

4. Can you provide proof that you’re a registered entity? Can you provide the proof that MutualForexFund is really involved in Forex trading?

Mutual Forex Inc. is registered in file #033293 in the Republic of Seychelles since December 11, 2006. Our office is located on Suite 9, Ansuya Estate Revolution Ave, Victoria. We’ve chosen to incorporate our company in Republic of Seychelles for tax savings purpose. You can check a scanned version of our incorporation certificate here. We have open trading accounts with 3 Forex Brokers: FXOpen, Marketiva and Finexo. In the coming weeks we’ll prepare a due diligence map with our trading records so investors can evaluate our performance.

5. What are the investment plans MutualForexFund can offer to online investors? What is the purpose of the Manifesto plan?

MutualForexFund comes with 4 investing plans: three plans supported by Forex Trading and one plan, Manifesto that is supported by internal advertising budget.

STANDARD PLAN - # 1.7% fixed Daily interest / # Investment term : 150 Bdays / Principal returned after plan term ends. / # Total Return: 355% of your investment [255% (Profit) + 100% (Principal)]

PREMIUM PLAN - # 2% fixed Daily interest / # Investment term : 150 Bdays / # Principal returned after plan completion / # Total Return: 400% of your investment [300%(Profit) + 100% (Principal)]

VIP PLAN - # 2.5% fixed Daily interest / # Investment term : 150 Bdays / # Principal returned after plan completion / # Total Return: 475% of your investment [375% (Profit) + 100% (Principal)]

MANIFESTO PLAN - # 110% after 10 days / # Investment term : 10 days / # Profit and principal is paid when plan ends. / # Total Return:110% [10% (Profit) + 100% (Principal)]

Manifesto plan is a limited time offer and as I’ve said is supported by our advertising budget. Instead of buying expensive banner ads or traffic we decided is more productive to offer a high yield plan for the ones that want to try MutualForexFund. Investments in Manifesto Plan are capped at max $250 for each member.

6. Will you return the principal back to investors after the investment term matures? Is compounding allowed?

Yes the principal is returned in full to investors after the investment term matures. Members can also choose a compounding percent from their daily earnings. Compound Interest helps investors build wealth faster and increase their investment portfolio. On the other hand it help us achieving higher results by using the funds to generate profits for a longer period.

7. What payment processors do you accept? Why did you choose these payment processors and do you plan to add more payment options in the near future?

Currently we accept deposits using LibertyReserve, C-gold, SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney and Pecunix. Main reason for choosing the payment processors was the forex broker acceptance. We need to transfer the funds from MutualForexFund accounts to Forex Brokers and then transfer back in order to pay the investors. Processing fees were another important aspect.

8. What script do you use to run MutualForexFund and why did you choose this script? Is it safe and secure to handle member’s money?

We use a licensed version of HYIPManager Script, modified to meet our requirements by its creator, Dennis Presto. He assured us the script is safe and reliable to use. Dennis is also in charge to maintain the program in good standing and perform security updates.

9. What hosting provider does MutualForexFund use? Do you have anti-DDoS protection implemented to defend your site from possible DdoS-attacks that are quite frequent now in the HYIP industry?

MutualForexFund is hosted on a dedicated server provided by DDoSWiz.com. DDoSWiz.com is offering advanced, customised DDoS protected hosting using ClearPath technology.

10. What advertising strategy do you use to make MutualForexFund known among online investors?

We’re not going to spend a lot on huge advertising campaigns. That’s why in first place we have open the MANIFESTO plan preferring to offer to our investors better returns than spending money on advertising. Of course we promote MutualForexFund in the investors’ communities but we’d like to let word of mouth speak about us and our performance.

11. In your opinion what differentiates MutualForexFund from hundreds of scam programs that also claim to be trading on Forex market? What unique features does MutualForexFund have which others don’t?

As a company, Mutual Forex Inc. aims for full transparency and is ready to supply any current or potential investor with any information might require. Our Senior Trader, Martin Fanning have traded the Forex Markets for over 5 years for some of the largest financial institutions in the world and he has over 15 years experience in the equities markets.

There are some advantages of investing with MutualForexFund that I’d like to mention bellow:

- A consistent, disciplined approach to investing
- Direct access to your own designated Investment Manager Account
- Timely response to your questions
- Multiple payment processors accepted
- Lucrative affiliate program
- Offshore registered trading company

Among this we offer great and fast support, a dedicated team and quick payouts.

12. What are your plans for near future? Would would you like to say to the investors that are still hesitant to invest in MutulForexFund?

In the following weeks we should be busy spreading the word about MutualForexFund along the online investors’ communities and also tweak the system making sure is working as it should. We invested a substantial amount to make sure we have an environment which gives our investors the peace of mind. There are enhancements scheduled so stay tuned.

We also work on a new service for our members: Forex Signals. Investors that have FOREX trading knowledge and prefer to trade by themselves can buy Forex signals we use to generate profits. We are also going to provide further technical and non-technical information about our trading activities so that our business could be seen as even more transparent than it is now.

Investors that are hesitant to try us have a multitude of choices:

a) Bookmark our site and come back after few months a year or more. We will still be here providing services for our members.
b) Try out the Manifesto plan. The Manifesto plan is a 110% return after 10 days fast returns plan supported entirely by our advertising budget, being capped at min $20 and max $250 per deposit per user. If you’re afraid to invest your money for only 10 days time period then honestly high yield investments are not for you. Better deposit your money with a bank or invest in bonds, guaranteed by the gov.
c) Trade on your own using our FOREX Signals.

13. What is your honest opinion about my blog? How do you think it could help online investors to make reasonable decisions?

I’ve spend few hours reading your blog and I find it very informative for online investors. Providing reviews, interviews and daily news you provide all what an investor needs to choose the right investment program.”

Well, as you can see from the interview MutualForexFund is a serious and registered company with ambitious plans for the future and great team of supporters who can make this program one of the most serious players in the HYIP market soon.

The Stoic Capital Interview

HYIP.COM:
Hello Mr. Kerry,
Thank you for agreeing to spend time with us and provide some answers to the questions, which as you know, our users have prepared earlier at our forum. Could you please introduce yourself to our investors.
The Stoic:
Hello Alex, my name is Neil Kerry, I am one of company's financial managers. I am happy to spend time with you and I see this as another excellent opportunity to communicate with investors, who already entrusted us their funds and are already enjoying the benefits for many months, as well as with those, who might be considering to join our program in the future.

HYIP.COM:
Before we start, I wanted to say this: "Talk to a professional and you will realize how little you know about the subject, which you thought you knew". This was my conclusion after talking with you about investments in general. I wanted to thank you personally for that extra education on the subject and I probably will summarize all the new things I've learned separately, but we have a goal to meet here, so let us move on to the questions.
Our first question is:
Who are the people responsible for company management?
The Stoic:
Alex, you knew half the answers and your questions were all, but right on the matter.
To answer the question, Stoic management team is a group of fund management professionals with at least 7 years of experience on average, each in their specific type of investments. Our management team members have officially assigned to them internal subordination positions, which were required to be provided to local business authorities, but overall, this venture is truly a group effort.

HYIP.COM:
When exactly was the company registered officially and why offshore?
The Stoic:
Our funds management experience goes many years back, but official registration date of The Stoic is February 20th, 2008, in the Republic of Seychelles. Our company is operating in full compliance with local and international laws. In our opinion, registration in an offshore zone, is the only viable option for well performing funds and fund managers, who want to concentrate on the actual investment job, instead of dealing with various audits that usually take place as soon as company's performance stands out from the "crowd".

HYIP.COM:
Does your company registration includes license to operate as an investment fund and if so, is it available to the public for viewing?
The Stoic:
Yes, it does and we have uploaded the electronic versions of several company documents on our website.

HYIP.COM:
How can investors contact management team?
The Stoic:
Unless there are some exceptional circumstances, for instance, when very significant investments are involved or there is some business proposition, all contacts are handled via our well trained website support team. Investors have to realize that as much as wish to, with currently about six thousand of members, it will be impossible to provide adequate support to everyone. This was also the reason we established the website and registered company as an independent entity, on the first place. With that said, our investors should be rest assured that management team is fully aware about all the issues that our program users have, at all times. This is because in addition to real time forwarding of company related issues by our website support team, we have regularly scheduled briefings on which the rest of inquiries from investors are outlined to the management and then thoroughly discussed.

HYIP.COM:
Are there any company earning reports available to view?
The Stoic:
Yes and No.
First of all, there is a full transparency in the fact that our users are seeing their share of earnings right within their accounts, but I should also state that Stoic is a core structure of a multi-divisional, multi-fund entity and it's overall summary earnings are held as company's proprietary information. At the same time, the investors should know that our company is in full compliance with all local laws, as far as various reporting and filing requirements go. Every single monetary transaction of the fund, is independently filed, (therefore is publicly available), by our fund divisions, as well as by participating contracted businesses.

HYIP.COM:
Let me get this straight, there are independent funds inside Stoic fund?
The Stoic:
Exactly. Simply put, Stoic is managing several officially independent funds, which are filing earning reports whenever required. For this reason, providing the reports individually, will not reflect overall company financial standing and performance, therefore may be misleading.

HYIP.COM:
Offered by Stoic earnings potential is quite high, or as you put it earlier, it really "stands out". This must mean that there is a risk. Are there any risk management plans in place and what are they?
The Stoic:
For as much as I feel confident in Stoic performance for many years to come, statement that there is no risk, would be a blindfolded one. Various risks are a part of every day life for all of us. One may feel safe walking on a curbed sidewalk, but there is always some risk of being hit by a car of reckless driver coming from an adjacent busy street.
To answer the question, I can say that in addition to some pre-existent safe backup deposits, our investment strategy is actually built from grounds up, on a solid zero-loss/zerro-gain hedged base. In other words, while we will deliver per offered plans for as long as our investment strategy is working and is protected as an intellectual property, we feel that the chance of losses is nearly non existent. I know you have another relevant question about hedging strategy, so perhaps I will talk more about the base of our investment strategy while commenting on that other question.

HYIP.COM:
Let us get right to that question, while we are on the subject. The question which one of HYIP.COM users have asked in its exact wording was: "Which financial products (or markets) are they investing in and how exactly do they hedge?" Can you comment?
The Stoic:
Good general description of the term �hedge fund� can be found at wikipedia.org, but I certainly can comment on the key elements of our own hedging strategy, since the question has been put forward.
By definition, ideal hedging cancels out the risk on any specific investment, by compensating what we call, �the artificial investment losses�, due to the market movement as a whole, which in turn, is the result of regular market's trading activity. The generic example of hedging would be to buy shares of promising company X, while making carefully calculated short sale of sector shares, to which this company belongs. In the event if company X's share price goes down due to the overselling of all it's sector shares, no losses will occur because of previously taken hedging short sale position, which will automatically produce compensating gains. The key element of Stoic hedging strategy lies in experience-based ability of our fund managers to define proper set of traded commodities to be used for offsetting possible losses of our main investments. The exact commodities (or markets) we are working with, I would prefer to not reveal for the reasons related to intellectual property rights protection.

HYIP.COM:
This was a mouthful, Neil. Definitely, made me spend extra time on Wiki, but I think we can leave it from here on, for further discussion by the investment community at our forums, as well as on other resources, which may choose to publish this interview. I wanted to once again thank you for your time and I wish you success and good times ahead.
The Stoic:
It has been a pleasure and I thank you for the interview invitation. You have one of the best built investment community resources, with it's well balanced monitoring, educational and advertisement capacities. I wish you and all HYIP.COM users all the best.
