Are Online High Yield Investment Programs Legitimate?

I honestly have no real opinion on whether these things are for real or not, but three years is not a long time. Madoff kept his ponzi scheme going for at least 15.

Social Security has been going since 1935

Speaking of Social Security, at this rate, that will even be gone in a matter of a few decades.  More people taking out then there are buying in!

That is the definition of a Ponzi Scheme, right? In the meantime, I am going to ride the wave all the way to the beach I hope.

I don't really worry about it because if you follow oldbuddy's method you are not risking anything anyway.  Grab some easy cash on FC and try it.  What have you got to lose?  I don't advise anyone to take their "day job" money or grocery money and put it into something like this, but you can take your money from programs like this and blow it or you can invest it and see what happens.  If blowing it makes you happy than that is ok in my book.  We are only here for a short time, so enjoy the fruits of your labor however you feel is best.

Yeah...I'll be able to make my second cashout here in about a month (I've only been doing the Paid to Click, as well as the forum posting bonus and game bonus).  Not sure I want to just keep the $25 or invest it into Genius Funds, or take a risk on some HYIP.  Most are ponzi schemes and die within a couple weeks, but if you get in early, you can make a decent profit.

oldbuddy, do you recommend any HYIP monitoring websites?  My knowledge of HYIPs back in 2005/06 taught me that if you get into an HYIP at the beginning and pull out early, you can make a profit, but you can't wait until its been 100% verified to be an honest paying HYIP.  If you wait, then by the time your investment will have made a profit, then the ponzi scheme has already begun to collapse.

Exactly the definition.  It lasts for a while, until it doesn't work any more : ) Until you have more Taking out/(Redeeming their funds) then there are paying in (buying funds).  Exact definition.  All I have to say is, live it to the fullest and for as long as you can!

I just did a broad search of monitoring sites, forums and friends, then read the material on the GF website to make a decision to try it. As far as getting in early, it's been around a few years so that should indicate it's more than an HYIP and I think it is. I don't use the hit and run style, I want something that has proven itself first.
