Most people invest in the closest to them and easiest to find mutual funds.

This is bloody stupid.

If you live in USA for example you are lucky if your mutual funds achieve 15% yearly ROI.
People are just too lazy, they invest in the first fund they saw and then complain for the low ROI.

The mutual funds which invest in countries with matured economy usually can’t achieve very high results. As most mutual funds don’t speculate, but invest, they can not profit much more than the major indexes.

The funds which invest in Emerging economies, on the other hand, have a lot more options to profit. Not only that the market is rising a lot more, but the big movements allow to increase the profits even further.

So don’t be lazy, search for mutual funds which invest in East Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Just to give you some examples:

Capman Fund in Bulgaria achieved more than 100% ROI in 2006 and keeps growing now: see here.

Raiffesen Capital Management has a long term investment fund in Europe and Asia targeting more than 50% per year – see here.

Chinese and Indian Mutual Funds often break the 50% per year mark as well.

You see there are really a lot of options. I can recommend you visiting Mutual Funds Investing for more information on such mutual funds and about the mutual fund investing in general.

Many of the high risk investors are not very familiar with the possibility to use swing trading signals and make passive profits.

The problem with the standard day trading signals is most of them require you to spend quite some time on the PC. Most of us prefer to invest in markets which don’t eat so much of our time.

The Swing trading signals are much more appropriate for busy people. Essentially swing trading means to hold smaller number of positions for longer time (more than one day).

Most swing trading signal companies will send you alerts 2-3 times weekly with suggested entry and exit points. At best cases you’ll even know at what time of the week to expect the signals so you can ensure to check your mail or phone.

The good Swing traders can achieve as great results as the good day traders so these services are in no way lower quality.

For example <a href=”http://www.ndaqsystem.com/index.html”>NDAQSystem.com</a> performance shows up to 440% yearly ROI. Now before you jump into this, I need to tell you I could not verify their performance. In fact I’ve read comments that another signal service of the same company was scam. I don’t have personal experience for sure.

<a href=”http://sharkinvestor.com/portfolio/millenium.html”>Millenium Traders</a> offer Swing trading signals for stocks at the price of $79.90 per month and up to 50% lower price for the longer subscription plans. Their results are not so impressive, but are known to be honest. I’ve used their forex trading chatroom and it was good.

Swing trading can be quite risky, so you need to make sure that you use stop loss. If you want to justify the efforts and the prices of the signals, you need to invest at least $10,000. (Most stock trading platforms have high minimums anyway)

Sometimes investing can be fun. Especially when you win. The financial fixed odds betting is designed to be fun yet from the start. This does not mean you can’t take it seriously and make money with it.

I guess you have heard about BetOnMarkets. It’s the most reputable online service for fixed odds financial betting.

This article is not a general review of BetOnMarkets. If you are not familiar at all with it, you can read the HYWD review here.

The problem with the fixed odds betting is you need to follow the markets close. It’s not easier than the day trading or swing trading.

Following my primary target – to leverage my investments on others work and experience – I want to introduce you the betting clubs and gurus service available in BetOnMarkets (and not managed by its staff).

So, let’s go straight to the point:

BOM Betting Clubs

Everyone who has achieved BOM affiliate status can open a club. The clubs are based on units and at the time of creating the unit price is $1. With the time the club unit prices raise or fall depending on the betting results of that club.

Investing in BOM clubs is entirely passive, you don’t need to do anything. You can sell the club units when the price is high enough for you.

Unfortunately last time I checked I was a bit disappointed by the clubs. Most of them looked quite a kido job, with entire capital less than $100. That just does not look too serious.

BOM Gurus

This section drawn more of my attention. The Gurus are just other BOM clients like you and me who provide signals for the bets they place. It’s pretty similar to the forex signal services. You follow their bets and either win or lose.

Supposingly the gurus have some experience and follow the markets for you. You usually have to pay monthly for the signals provided. I’ve seen prices between $10 and $25 per month, so it’s really not expensive.

Of course there is zero guarantee that the guru is really a guru. The only real indication are his/her past results. You definitely must see the performance before subscribing to any guru.

Obviously these options are VERY risky investing, but also can bring very high returns.

Do you want to manage your investments in your own hands?

The managed accounts, mutual and hedge funds, signal services and private pools are nice, but you have no control on the risks. You just allow someone else to manage your money.

Trading yourself is entirely different thing. You are the one who takes all the risks, but also all the profits. You can stop at any time or hunt for great profits at times when a professional managed would be shy to act.

Still I have always preferred to allow someone else do the work for me, just because I don’t want to read one hundred fat books on trading.

The only thing which can make me change my mind about this is some step-by-step guide or system showing me what to do. It must not take too much of my time, it must not require too much effort and it must bring positive results.

I know I want want to much. But Rockwell Trading seems to satisfy my need.

This company offers 12 minutes free video which throws you directly in the day trading business. I was highly sceptical, but after watching the video I was quite impressed. Since it takes only 12 minutes of your time, just go ahead and watch it. Yes, it’s an advertising video of course, but it’s a good one.

The Rockwell Trading coaching program teaches us how to determine the right direction, when to close your positions and on which market to do it.

One thing I liked a lot from their sales page was the fact they give link out to Google showing the results which appear when you search for their CEO’s name Markus Heitkoetter. Now compare this to a famous HYIP scammer Fred Honea who was claiming to be a great forex trader.

Now I won’t retell you all that is written on the free trial page, but I want to draw your attention at their performance guarantee.

If after completing their coaching program you don’t see a major improvement of your trading results, they’ll pay you out $1,001 from their own pocket.

This may sound crazy, but I’ll explain you why they can do it and why it is not scam:

- They know a reasonable amount of users who apply for the free trial will subscribe for the paid program. This means even their trial delivers a very good quality.

- They know that their coaching program delivers results and that there will be no unhappy customers. Of course there will be some cheaters and morons who’ll want to get their money back anyway, but this is part of the business. Most “students” really achieve very good results so they wouldn’t even think about asking for this money.

The cost of the coaching program is $2,497 and that’s not much compared to the tens of thousands it can bring you.

You can watch the video and sign up for the trial with no obligations.

The biggest disadvantage I see in this program, obviously is that it requires your active participation. So it depends on your time schedule if you will be able to profit from it.

Did you try TradeWindowFX already? Their deal seem to be quite good, if you are willing to trade yourself.

But in this email I want to talk to you about a low entry level Managed Forex Account. Like the subject of this email says, it is reputable but not very hot. Then why am I sending this to you? It’s still much better than banks and will be very suitable for you if you are looking for moderate level of risk.

And especially if you have limited funds to invest. The minimum is only $1,000.

The best thing is that the managed accounts service is offered by the really reputable forex broker FXCM.com. You can be 100% sure that the results they show are not fake (and who would fake such results anyway?).

Now, let me tell you about what exactly they offer. This is not very exciting, but I think it may be good enough for your portfolio, depending on your targets.

Here is the link to their managed fund programs:

http://www.fxcm.com/managed-funds/managed-funds-programs.jsp

- The EUROPEAN CURRENCY FUND marked as “High Risk” performs very poorly and has pretty short back results. Not worth it in my opinion.

- The SENTIMENT FUND looks better and has “Medium Risk” level. Except this year the performace is not very impressive. (In fact not impressive at all). 10% – 15% per year. It’s good that it has long trading history though.

- The SENTIMENT AGGRESSIVE FUND is where I plan to place a spend. It’s traded exactly the same way like the SENTIMENT FUND, but with doubled leverage. This means we can hope for 30% per year. Now that’s below my targets, but I think putting $1,000 there won’t hurt me long term. Considering the long trading history of the SENTIMENT FUND we can be relatively sure they won’t lose our money.

It sounds good for a large investment too, in case you have millions.

How are your investments going?

Have you tried trading Forex with the help of a signal service? Trading by signals is really easy and you don’t need to understand the markets if you want to earn.

There are plenty of forex signal companies which perform great trading and report high ROI. I’ve seen signal services reporting 2,000+ pips gained for a month. That’s not bad at all, is it?!

You know what? The problem is they often lie. Yes, I am not joking at all. Many of the companies which offer successful Forex signals just fake their performance.

You get impressed, subscribe to the signals and then BAM! Instead of making profits you are 200 – 300 pips down. This hurts a lot.

It’s not about subscribing for the signal service with the best results or to the cheapest one. It’s about finding a HONEST signal provider with decent results.

TradeWindowFX has PRETTY GOOD trading results and they are CONFIRMED. When saying good, I mean to have realistic expectations. Here are their trading results for year 2006 and 2007:

Year 2006
———
January: +145 pips
February: +111 pips
March: +202 pips
April: +257 pips
May: +56 pips
June: +289 pips
July: +252 pips
August: +392 pips
September: +8 pips
October: +241 pips
November: +258 pips
December: +198 pips

2006 total pips profit: 2,409

Year 2007
———
January: +114 pips
February: +317 pips
March: +324 pips
April: -115 pips
May: +123 pips
June: -236 pips
July: +268 pips
August: +318 pips

2007 year-to-date: +1113 pips

These results are really sweet considering that you are dealing with a reputable forex signal service operating since 2005.

The signals get delivered straight to your desktop and you can even receive them as SMS.

TradeWindowFX does not shoot you with randomly selected alerts and confusing directions. They send you exact entry, exit and stop loss messages.

The monthly price for this service is $99 and you can get 3 months for $249. This is a very good deal for such high quality signals. (Most services charge more than $200 per month).

$99 monthly can bring you THOUSANDS in profits, depending on how much is your equity. Now this is what I call a shark investment pick.

There is One Week completely free trial membership. So I see no reason to stay and watch.

Do you have $5,000 to invest in a managed forex account? Is pure yield of 100% or more per year enough for your likes?

See, FXFareast is a Russian (I think) managed forex account service managed by Alexander Kim. I know Russian may sound suspicious for some of you, but I can ensure you not everyone living in Russia is a scammer. Some of the smartest mind of the planet live there.

FXFareast is reviewed at reputable online forums and their performance is confirmed to be real. Speaking about the performance, it is as follows:

180.65% gross for 2005

221.56% gross for 2006

32.71% gross YTD for 2007

The highest drawdown is 15.91% happened in July 2007 when the crazy markets hit a lot of system players like for example my ex-favorite GalleonFX (http://hywd.info/managed-forex-accounts).

FXFareast takes 40% of the net profits. The minimum is $5,000.

The trading is hedging long/mid USDCHF and EURUSD positions.

The brokers they work with are Gain Capital Group (Forex.com), New York, IKON Global Markets, New York, or IFX Markets Inc., Boston.

Of course each managed account can crash at any time and forex trading is risky. Never forget that.

Before going further with searching for specific investment opportunities I want to outline the main things you should look at.

Now, let me be clear, my approach to investing has always been to leverage time, skills and money for greater results. Saying this, you don’t see me buying 10 big fat books on Fibonachi Trading and losing sleep watching currency pairs, do you?

My goal is to hunt for opportunities which can either give you passive income or give you great help and a “leading hand” in your own trading or other investing activities.

You want to work smarter and not harder, so here are the main areas where you should concentrate:

- Completely passive investment schemes. Such are mutual funds, hedge funds, any private investment clubs or managed trading accounts. Now, we all know in theory this is the best we could do. Just put your money somewhere and let them work for you while you are on the beach.

While there are thousands of such completely passive investments, a very small percentage of them work well and achieve really high yield returns. Not to mention that you can’t control the risk levels they undertake.

You of course will be notified each time when I find such an offer, but we can’t rely entirely on third parties to build our wealth. Considering this, you should also be informed about companies and individuals who can help you trade on the financial markets yourself. These are:

- Trading and investment signals and alerts. For example forex signals, mutual funds alerts, stock chat rooms etc. These are services which tell you where to buy and sell a stock or currency pair, what position to open on commodity market etc.

The disadvantage of these systems is that they still require actions on your part – you’ll have to perform the buy/sell action on your PC yourself. But it is still great that you can leverage on someone else’s knowledge and informed decisions rather than trying to do everything on your own.

Some of these systems will even allow you to set up a software and follow the signals automatically. Such offers are very close to a managed trading account, because they don’t require your physical presence.

And finally, you may want also to try your skills into trading and investing entirely on your own. Of course you can start from the zero, reading books, training and all that. But think about it, doing this you are just creating another job for yourself. And what is worse, this job does not offer guaranteed salary. That’s why I’ll cover self trading only from the viewpoint of the “shark” investor again.

Why reinvent the wheel when you can use ready systems, softwares and knowledge? If you have to spend few hundreds books for a developed system or develop your own for a couple of years, which one do you prefer? Let’s not forget we are looking for leverage here. So here we go onto the third main focus point:

- Various trading systems, softwares, formulas etc. The less work on your side is required, the higher interest you should have to any of these.

Enough chill talk. The next time I’ll start shooting picks, I promise

Choosing a top trading signal provider to review is a though job. There are thousands of signal services out there with 90% of them claiming to achieve exceptionally good results. If all they were real, everyone could become rich in a couple of years by investing few hundred dollars. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Most trading signal services are scams and fake their results.

Because of that, the research of a good signal service includes a lot more than comparing price/results. The most important thing to do is to ensure that they really achieve the advertised results.

So, why Millennium Traders?

I am too far from that I have found the top of the best. Millennium Traders surely have their disadvantages, but here are the reasons why I have chosen them for the first review in SharkInvestor:

• I was able to personally verify that their trading is successful. (You can do it too)
• They show the performance of each individual moderator and they show dollar – value, clearly saying that your percentage results will depend on your own trading choices
• They offer several types of trading signals
• There are big discounts if you join quarterly, semi-annually or annually
• There is a free trial
• The performance is rather good, but still reasonable. Please check their performance page/li>
• They have excellent responsive support

Millennium Traders definitely are not the cheapest signal service I’ve seen, but you get what you pay for. So let’s see what exactly they have to offer.

The Trading Rooms

Most of the Millennium Traders’ signals are organized in the form of chat rooms where the moderators send buy, sell or watch signals to the members. There is a sound coming with the signals, so you don’t really need to watch the screen all the time.

The Stock Trading Room has currently 3 moderators and provides day trading signals mostly between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM US ET. The membership costs $249 monthly and $1500 yearly. There is an option to get a free month if you invests in a featured broker.

The Futures Trading Room provides live real time future calls at the same time – between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM US ET. Just like the stock trading room, it is priced between $249 and $1500 depending on the subscription term.

The Forex Trading Room is open 24/7, but mostly active between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM US ET. The prices are the same as the stock and futures trading rooms and the performance is amazing. There is a great deal if you decide to open an account with some of their featured brokers – you can get the signals completely free.

Day Swing Trades is another chat room providing up to five stock picks every day. The picks are posted before 8:00 AM EST. The prices are the same as for the above rooms.

The Weekly Swing Trades sends stocks picks only once per week, on Monday before 8:00 AM EST. This service has the lowest prices – $79.90 monthly, $203 quarterly and $480 annually.

Millennium Traders offer also one-to-one trading education for $750 but reviewing it is not a subject of this article.

How To Get The Most Of It?

Many people subscribe to trading signals in the wrong way and then are happy if hey can break even. I’d like to give you some tips which will help you achieve greater return on your investment:

• Subscribe for a trial first. See if the thing works for you and if you can be online at the time when the signals come
• Subscribe for only one service at the beginning. It’s tempting to go for the triple or double subscriptions because of the better price. But do that only after you are comfortable with the overall service and you have some experience.
• Subscribe for one month or a quarter first. After you pass the trial, try the real stuff for a month or three. This time will be enough for you to decide if you want to go further and purchase annually subscriptions (or some of the combined subscriptions).
• Make sure that you actually trade. Sounds simple, but many don’t do it. If you only watch the signals and don’t perform trades, you won’t earn any money. Do trade.

I wish you success with Millennium Traders. Please post a comment here once you start trading for real with them.
