I read a lot of investment blogs, but don’t necessarily expect you to do the same. So I will occasionally select the most interesting stuff published out there and give you short remarks and links. If you are a blogger too, let me know when you publish something that can be related to aggressive investing.

This young investment opportunity is offered by Crescent Bay Capital Management. At the time of writing this their site was not accessible, but you can obtain investment documents thru introducing brokers such like Altavra.

They have a couple of investment opportunities, but my attention was grabbed by the latest one, the Premium Stock Index Program. This is an Index Option Trading investment with $10,000 minimum account size.

The offer was launched in August 2007 and since then the ROI is around 35% profit. This makes average 7% monthly.

I don’t remember where exactly I found Milbay Finance, but I think some of this blog readers were also considering it. Milbay Finance is Urugway based company which offers forex trading thru North Finance and also passive investment schemes. As usual I’ll bother you with the latter offers only:

Managed Forex Accounts

Their minimum is only $5,000, the performance fee is 33% and if you wish to open an account, you need to do it with MT4 platform based broker firm.

In How To Trade Forex By Signals - Part One I wrote about choosing a trading signals provider (My personal choice is Millennium Traders) and a forex broker if you don’t have any yet.

Selection is important, but if you want to achieve results, you must actually start trading. Here comes part Two.

In case you are totally new to the signal trading, I strongly encourage you to read this introductory article - How To Profit With Forex Or Stock Trading Signals. It is a good starting point for understanding the basics concept.

So Why Trade Forex By Signals? Can’t You Just Trade Yourself?

Why go to doctor when being sick? Can’t you just cure yourself?

Unless you are a doctor too, I don’t recommend you experimenting with your health. In same way, I don’t recommend you experimenting with your money unless you are a professional forex trader.

I am usually looking for lower entry managed forex accounts, but because of this I am missing some quite good opportunities. And this is definitely something that a shark like me doesn’t like.

$25,000 may sound like a big amount to invest, but don’t forget usually you can do a joint account with some close friend or relative. (Or even pull money with several friends if that is needed - this option may not be totally legal in your country however).

Some time ago we wrote about hot mutual funds. If you have been around the financial world for a while, you must have heard about the emerging economies in East Europe. The mutual funds in the new EU members Bulgaria and Romania achieved great returns - some of them close of above 100% per year.

In the Autumn, when I asked the email subscribers to pay some attention to these funds, there was a nice increase of the prices. However quickly after that in November and December in most East European stock exchanges there was a significant correction leading to most funds losing 10% - 20% of their value. The fund prices have not moved much since then.
