Remarks by Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. on the U.S. Economy, Housing and Capital Markets before the Washington Post 200 Lunch Washington - Over the last forty years, Washington has transformed into a diverse corporate center. Congratulations to the Post for recognizing this through their annual list of 200. And I am pleased to join you and represent the "old" Washington, the less than ten percent of the region's workers who work for the federal government. While the Post 200 companies may be headquartered here, your operations span the nation and the world and so I will provide an update on the housing and credit markets and the U.S. economy, and look forward to learning your views of the same. Housing Markets The housing correction began in 2006, and most forecasters expect a prolonged period of adjustment. Four points sum up my current view of the progress of that correction and our efforts to minimize its spillover into the rest of the economy. First, our focus since last summer - to help homeowners avoid preventable foreclosures is the right focus and it has been successful. We encouraged the creation of the HOPE NOW Alliance of mortgage lenders, servicers and counselors, to streamline efforts to help struggling borrowers. The Alliance reports that, since July, the industry has helped 1.4 million homeowners with loan workouts that allowed them to stay in their homes. The rate of workouts has now increased to about 2 million per year. In addition, we've taken administrative steps to expand access to FHA programs and enabled almost 200,000 borrowers to refinance into affordable FHA mortgages since August. These are significant numbers, and a significant achievement, particularly when you consider that 2 million is also the estimated number of homes that will go into foreclosure this year. Second, there is no silver bullet to undo the lax underwriting practices of recent years. Because of these past excesses, foreclosures will remain elevated even if we avoid every single preventable foreclosure. Third, we know the correction has further to go, and so we should not be surprised at headlines that note rising foreclosures and falling home prices. But the correction is progressing. We are working through the excess inventory the inventory of new single-family homes for sale is down 18 percent from its 2006 peak. As of April, single-family housing starts are down to a 692,000 annual rate, off 62 percent from their January 2006 peak. We didn't get here quickly. There were years of excesses. And this won't be resolved quickly. Fourth, our work is not complete. Housing is the biggest risk to our economy; we are constantly monitoring the situation and examining approaches to address the problem. We are particularly focused on monitoring and continuously improving the execution of the HOPE NOW Alliance efforts, and working with Congress to complete work that is crucial to mortgage financing – creating a world-class regulator for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks, and modernizing the programs of the FHA so it can assist more homeowners without imposing additional burden on taxpayers. The mission of Fannie and Freddie, the two largest public companies on the Post 200 list, is more critical now than ever. Together, they touch 80 percent of current mortgage originations, and a regulator on par with other financial regulators will bring confidence to all mortgage market participants. I will elaborate on these points and start by putting the American housing market and the size of the problem in perspective. Although I am going to talk numbers and statistics, I know that beneath these numbers are many who are struggling and their situation is both real and difficult. As of the end of 2007, there were 55 million mortgages outstanding and 92 percent were being paid on time, every month. About 6 percent had missed one or more payments and the remaining 2 percent, about 1 million, were in the foreclosure process. There were 1.5 million foreclosures started in all of 2007. Between 2001 and 2005, a time of solid U.S. economic growth and high home price appreciation, about 650,000 foreclosure starts occurred, likely due to financial setbacks and unforeseen life events. In this correction, we see additional foreclosures because some people bought more home than they could ever hope to afford. Many of these people are becoming renters again. Foreclosures are also up due to an increased number of speculators who bought homes on the assumption that housing prices would endlessly appreciate. As housing prices decline some homeowners find they have negative equity in their homes. Negative equity is not a trigger for foreclosure and it doesn't alter your monthly payment. When you are in your home for the long run, to raise a family and be part of a community, prices will fluctuate throughout the years. Homeowners who can afford their payment should honor their obligations and we know that the vast majority do. If someone can't afford their home and must move, it is painful. If someone walks away from a mortgage they can afford, it is irresponsible. In both these cases, however, there is little government or industry should do to prevent foreclosure. We are focused on those homeowners who both want to stay in their home and, with a little flexibility, can afford to do so. We encouraged the formation of HOPE NOW in order to avoid a market failure. As mortgages have been securitized and those securities spread around the world, this complexity reduced the ability of investors to quickly respond to help struggling homeowners who both wanted to keep their homes and were financially able to do so. The Alliance has worked to overcome legal, technical and accounting complexities, and to speed up and simplify the refinancing and modification process so that more people can be helped. Avoiding Preventable Foreclosures HOPE NOW has made enormous progress. I have met with Alliance members, and am pleased that they are focused on continuously learning from their experience, adapting their practices and improving execution across the industry. Subprime adjustable rate mortgages account for about 40 percent of all foreclosures, and we have focused much of our efforts on preventing foreclosures here, when possible. Our objective is not to maximize modifications; it is to minimize foreclosures for those who could afford the starter rate. Because lower interest rates have significantly reduced the reset problem, and because industry has acted to fast-track eligible borrowers, we are achieving our objective. Of the more than 400,000 subprime mortgage resets originally scheduled for the first quarter of 2008, only 553 loans that were current at reset have entered foreclosure. We will continue tracking that number closely to monitor progress. Of course homeowners have responsibility as well. HOPE NOW members send over 200,000 letters a month to at-risk homeowners. While the response rate has increased from less than 3 percent to 20 percent, that still means that 80 percent of at-risk borrowers do not respond to offers of assistance. We can't help those who aren't willing to help themselves, and we must continue to urge struggling borrowers that if they haven't already, they need to reach out for help. We will continue to look for additional tools to reach and help homeowners and to make existing programs work more smoothly. Mortgage Finance As you all know, the availability of mortgage finance has been an enormous challenge in recent months. Subprime loan originations are virtually non-existent today. The Administration has stepped up to that challenge by making FHA mortgages available to a broader group of borrowers. FHA originations are on pace to more than double in FY 2008. And this is occurring without significantly increasing taxpayer risk. The new FHASecure program has refinanced over 200,000 borrowers into affordable mortgages in the past eight months and HUD is examining means of expanding access further. We are also working with Congress to complete work on FHA modernization legislation proposed by President Bush last year, which would increase the number of affordable FHA mortgages without imposing new costs on taxpayers. This legislation would reach another 250,000 potential FHA borrowers. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are guaranteeing a greater share of mortgages than ever before. It's never been more critical that markets have confidence in how these companies are overseen and regulated. Given their size, complexity and important role, we need to ensure that they have a regulatory structure on par with other financial institutions. I believe there is a renewed commitment in the Congress to completing meaningful GSE reform legislation. The House has passed a bill that makes good progress towards this goal and I am pleased to see the Senate Banking Committee working hard to reach agreement on its version. The time has come to get this done. Capital Markets The excesses in the mortgage market were just one of numerous examples of excesses in the broader capital markets as investors reached for yield. This translated into undue leverage in financial instruments and institutions, which was not adequately recognized by market participants and regulators, and in increased complexity of financial products. It will also take time for markets to work through these excesses. That being said, we are seeing signs of progress as capital and credit markets stabilize. The markets are considerably calmer now than they were in March. The de-leveraging and re-pricing of risk continue, as does the capital-raising that is so essential for our financial institutions to continue to support the broader economy. Market liquidity and investor confidence are gradually improving, not across the board, but in several sectors including corporate bonds, leveraged loans and high yield debt. Credit default swap, or CDS, spreads on major bank, brokerage firm, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debt have declined appreciably since March. Broader CDS indexes of investment grade and high yield bonds have fallen as well, and while spreads generally are still elevated and significant parts of the market, including securitized credit and interbank lending, are not functioning as normal, the trends indicate on-going improvement. Likewise, we are seeing issuance gradually grow in certain credit sectors. We meet often with market participants and investors, to understand the remaining obstacles. They routinely report that time is the critical factor it simply takes time to reassess and re-price risk, and regain confidence. We should not expect to work through this process quickly and we should expect some bumps in the road ahead. But in my judgment we are closer to the end of the market turmoil than the beginning. Looking forward, I expect that financial markets will be driven less by the recent turmoil and more by broader economic conditions and, specifically, by the recovery of the housing sector. President's Working Group Recommendations Our highest priority these past several months has been to address the short term issues arising from market turmoil, so as to reduce its impact on the rest of the economy. At the same time, the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, the PWG, reviewed the causes of the recent turmoil and has made recommendations to address them. Our review found that the turmoil was fueled by an abundant supply of easy credit, a decline in mortgage and other credit lending standards, increasingly complex and opaque financial instruments and structures, excessive leverage in our financial system, and investor and credit ratings agency issues. The PWG presented specific near-term steps to address underlying weaknesses, steps that should be implemented by regulators, investors, financial institutions and credit ratings agencies. Among these, we identified improvements to be made in every step of the mortgage originate-to-distribute model, including stronger oversight of mortgage origination, national licensing standards for mortgage brokers, more disclosure from ratings agencies, improved due diligence by investors and safeguards in mortgage securitization. We also outlined specific steps that credit rating agencies should take to provide information investors need to make more fully-informed decisions about risk. This will require reforming structured credit product rating processes and implementing changes suggested by the SEC review of conflict of interest issues. Regulators must also review how they encourage the use of ratings in rules and guidance. In recent years, credit default swaps and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives have become integral for hedging credit and default risk. Due to innovation and demand, we have seen tremendous expansion in the scale, diversity and impact of these instruments and markets. As trading volumes have surged, so has price volatility, but market infrastructure has not sufficiently evolved to support this expansion. We need a functional, well-designed industry cooperative that can meet the needs of the OTC derivatives markets in the years ahead. Such an industry cooperative must capture all significant processing events, and accommodate all major asset classes and product types over the entire lifecycle of trades. It must be operationally reliable and scalable, and enhance counterparty risk management through netting and collateral agreements by promoting portfolio reconciliation and accurate valuation of trades. We are working to implement these PWG recommendations, and will report on our progress later this year. Another issue that has been raised in recent weeks is investment bank access to the Federal Reserve's liquidity facilities. The Federal Reserve has made these available for a temporary period. Policymakers are considering the difficult issues associated with this extension of credit to non-banks. Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory Structure We are also focused on the long-term. In March, we released a Blueprint for financial regulatory reform to frame the needed discussion that should lead to modernizing our regulatory structure to keep pace with our financial system. The ultimate beneficiaries from improved financial market regulation are America's workers, families and businesses – both small and large. Our current regulatory system has largely evolved from early 20th century financial models; it's a system that has been patched together over time in response to the issues of the day. Regulators have adapted to keep pace with innovation, but they do so within a rigid structure that can not readily adapt as the financial services industry evolves. The Blueprint included several immediate steps that we are already working to implement. One is a new executive order to clarify the PWG mission and increase the PWG membership to include additional financial regulators. Through this, we will formalize current coordination and communication. This will support the PWG's efforts to enhance financial market integrity and promote consumer and investor protection. Second, we recommended creating a federal Mortgage Origination Commission. The MOC would establish minimum conduct and competency standards for mortgage originators and require information to evaluate each state's mortgage compliance standards for improved transparency in the securitization process. This Commission, coupled with the Federal Reserve's strong regulatory proposal regarding the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) rules, should go a long way in preventing recent issues from recurring. Third, we recommended that the Federal Reserve and the SEC enter into a formalized information-sharing agreement. I am pleased to see this process underway. Fourth, we recommended the creation of an office of insurance oversight housed at the Department of Treasury, and legislation has been introduced that is consistent with our recommendation. Beyond these steps, the Blueprint's recommendations are intended to provoke thoughtful discussion that will ultimately lead to change. And we must begin that discussion now, because these changes are important to the long-term strength and effectiveness of our capital markets. U.S. Economy and Stimulus Package Although we are still working through housing and capital markets issues, and expect to be doing so for some time, we also expect to see a faster pace of economic growth before the end of the year. This is in part because the Administration and Congress worked together and worked quickly to pass the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, a robust, broad-based and temporary package that will put money into our economy this year, when it's needed. By the middle of July, about 130 million households will have received nearly $100 billion. These payments, along with the incentives for business investment included in the Act, will provide a boost to our economy in the coming months and add over 500,000 jobs this year that wouldn't have been created otherwise. This fiscal stimulus will provide support to the economy as we weather the housing correction, capital markets turmoil and higher energy and food prices. Unemployment remains low and increased exports are partially offsetting other less positive factors. Overall, I believe we are on the right path to resolving market disruptions and building a stronger financial system. We are working through this period and our long term prospects remain strong. One thing is very clear to me whatever our current difficulties, I wouldn't bet against the U.S. worker or the U.S. economy. Conclusion America's workers have benefited from six years of strong economic growth. We know that now, they are also feeling the current strain. The President and his entire economic team are vigilant. We are working to help Americans get through today's difficulties. And while we do this, I remind all of us that our economy is structurally sound, with long-term fundamentals that compare favorably to any other place in the world.

We the members of the Scam Investigations Committee of the Forex Peace Army have deliberated on all the evidence available to us and have reached a conclusion. It is our opinion that... The FPA's definitions of scam include "Serious deception in the company's advertising." and "Other behavior that would be considered to be highly unethical by a reasonable individual." Brian Johnston, principal of InterbankUSA, InterbankGroup, FxTrader engaged in the following behavior that seems very unethical to us. He threatened to bring in a lawyer to force the FPA to remove a review that mentioned a link between InterbankUSA and InterbankGroup. He told the FPA that there was no relationship between these companies. We find that there is definitely a relationship of some sort between these companies. We futher feel that threatening unfounded legal action is a direct attack on the integrity of our system of reviewing forex companies. When told of easily found links between the companies on the web, he made efforts to erase one of them from the internet on the same day. He, or someone in his office, submitted a false 5 star review for a third brokerage, FxTrader, a company that is also clearly linked to him and the first two companies. We further find that FxTrader's website has incorrect information about the NFA status of their clearing house. This is very misleading to potential customers. We are also distressed to find that Brian Johnston was advertising to hire traders with "no experience required" and offering a substantial salary to "weak traders" to work for InterbankGroup and FxTrader. Under the circumstances, we feel there is no choice but to find that InterbankUSA, InterbankGroup, and FxTrader are all scams. This issue may be resolved by the following steps: 1. We require that a full, complete, and true statement of any and all relationships between these companies be posted on all 3 company websites as well as on the FPA review pages for each company. 2. That all 3 companies and their owners pledge to never again interfere with the integrity of FPA's review system by submitting false reviews or by threatening unfounded legal action against the FPA. 3. That all 3 companies pledge that any information about themselves and any clearing houses they use be kept complete, true, and up to date. 4. That the standards for hiring traders be clearly posted on the websites of these companies so that customers will know what sort of traders they might be dealing with. InterbankUSA, InterbankGroup, and FxTrader are all hereby blacklisted by the Forex Peace Army. We encourage our traders not to open accounts with them and to withdraw any money that might currently be in accounts with any of these companies.

Multiple ethical issues with three related companies
Fri, 16 May 2008 19:00:50 GMT
This is a joint statement of the FPA Review Moderation Team and the FPA Scam Investigations Committee. Two of the FPA's definitions of scam are "Serious deception in the company's advertising." and "Other behavior that would be considered to be highly unethical by a reasonable individual." Read this and see how many incidents of deception and unethical behavior you can find. On 2008-05-07, Brian Johnston emailed the FPA and threatened to bring in his lawyer if we did not take down a review on the InterbankGroup.com review page that linked InterbankGroup.com to InterbankUSA.com. Writing on behalf of Interbank USA, he complained about a review that stated that there was a relationship between these two companies. This is the text of the disputed review... "I was able to do some research on these "experienced traders". I would file any complaints since they are registered under interbank usa on the nfa website. They don't have a team of traders and they always lose money. They make money when you lose. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS! Hope this helps anyone who fell for their lies." Since there was an implied lawsuit threat, we felt obligated to have one of our investigators take a closer look at the situation. It only took a few minutes for him to find a lot of links between these supposedly unrelated companies. Interbank USA's domain registration listed Brian Johnston as the admin and technical contact and his email address as info@[b]interbankgroup[b].com. Both companies are at the same address and have adjacent phone numbers. When asked about this on 2008-05-07, Brian said they were 2 separate and unrelated corporations. The FPA Review Moderation Team send a 2nd email to Brian telling him that he would need to provide further clarification of the relationship between the 2 companies in order to decide about removing the review. There was no response. Later the same day, InterbankUSA.com's DNS record was modified and is now listed with DomainsByProxy.com contacts. Next, we got 5 star review for FX Trading submitted on 2008-05-07 from the same IP address that Brian's threat of legal action came from. This review claimed to be from a person in Kansas City, even though the review originated in Norwood, MA. Norwood is the home of all 3 of these companies. We then asked our investigator to spend 20 minutes doing some more research and he did not disappoint us. FXTrading.com lists Brian Johnston (bjohnston@fxtrading.com) as its domain contact as of 2008-05-08. All three companies list 1200 Providence Hwy, Norwood, MA 02062 as one of their addresses. The phone numbers 781-440-0092 or 0093 are listed as one of the contact numbers for all 3 companies. As if all of this was not bad enough, FX Trading's website claims... "Our clearing firm, Worldwide Clearing, LLC.is a licensed and registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)." Worldwide Clearing is registered with the NFA, but had its membership withdrawn on 2006-08-31 and has 3 CFTC regulatory actions listed. This is all visible here. NFA Basic Details for Worldwide Clearing (http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/Details.aspx?entityid=0344176&rn=Y) As far as we can tell, Wordwide Clearing seems to be out of business. FX Trading also appears to be a former NFA member. NFA Basic Details for FX Trading (http://www.nfa.futures.org/BasicNet/Details.aspx?entityid=0348153) As far as Interbank Group's experienced traders, there is an advertisement on Craig's List (http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/acc/652521479.html) that is worth reading. We have made the most interesting parts *bold*.

We are not sure which of these we find to be the worst. The choices are The threat to bring in a lawyer over a review, in spite of obvious relationships between these companies. The speed at which Brian altered the DNS records of one of these supposedly unrelated companies to make it harder for others to find the relationships between them. A fake 5 star review for a 3rd company that Brian is involved with, FX Trading, submitted just after the first two companies came to our attention. FX Trading bragging about its NFA registered clearing firm that has not been an active member of the NFA for some time. "Weak brokers" usually making $50k per year. Remember, no experience necessary!!!

Forex Trading Signal 05/15/08
Thu, 15 May 2008 05:34:00 GMT
Hi my dear Trader :) If you wish to watch the video, just click on it, and then click on "play" icon. My video version is MUCH MORE detailed so I encourage you to watch it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNrU_B5c8P0[/media] Hi res: 5-14-2008: Review (http://www.yummyapple.com/5-15-2008review.html) Hi res: 5-15-2008: Preview (http://www.yummyapple.com/5-15-2008preview.html) Let's review Wednesday first. At 4:30 a.m. we had UK reports coming out. We had a big conflict here so it was not a good trading opportunity. At 8:30 a.m. we had UK CPI coming out. It came out lower than expected by 0.1 so it was a good buying opportunity on EUR/USD or GBP/USD. We had about 30 pips spike with about 50% retracement, allowing people to enter a nice afterspike. We made a good money on the Diamonds room, and I hope you made a good money too. Please watch the video for more details. At 6:45 p.m. we had New Zealand Retail Sales. It came out low enough to enter a sell trade on NZD/USD. Unfortunately, most of the move was on the initial spike. The price moved by around 50 pips. Let's talk about Thursday. 1. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (5:00 a.m. New York Time) EURO ZONE At 5:00 a.m. we will have some CPI and GDP indicators coming out of Euro zone. Some people traded in last month and it worked pretty well so be careful around 5 a.m. I will look at it but I don't have any specific triggers that I can share with you right now. 2. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (8:30 a.m. New York Time) CANADA At 8:30 a.m. we will have Canadian Manufacturing Shipments coming out. It used to be a great trade but right now it is not performing too well. I would skip this one. 3. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (8:30 a.m. New York Time) USA At 8:30 a.m. we will have U.S. Initial Jobless Claims together with Empire Manufacturing Survey. Both of them are significant enough to move the market. If the Empire Manufacturing comes out at +11 or higher, it would be a buy signal on USD/JPY, good for 35 pips. If it comes out at -11 or lower, it would be a sell signal on USD/JPY, worth 35 pips as well. If the Initial Jobless Claims comes out at 390 K or higher, that would be a good sell signal on USD/JPY, good for 35 pips. If it comes out at 350 K or lower, it would be a good buy signal on USD/JPY. Triggers are valid assuming there is no conflict between them. Ideally, you want to see them helping each other. 4. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (9:00 a.m. New York Time) USA At 9:00 a.m. we will have U.S. TIC. I am going to skip this one although I will keep an eye on it. Watch the video for more details. 5. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (9:15 a.m. New York Time) USA At 9:15 a.m. we will have U.S. Industrial Production m/m coming out. You can try to use around 0.5 trigger here and make a fast scalp on it. If it comes out at 0.2 or higher, that would be a quick buy signal on USD/JPY, looking for 20 pips or so. If it comes out at -0.8 or lower, that would be a quick sell signal on USD/JPY, good for 20 pips as well. 6. Thursday, May 15th, 2008 (10:00 a.m. New York Time) USA At 10:00 a.m. we will have Philadelphia Fed Index coming out. It is expected to come out at -19. If it comes out at -30 or lower, I would sell USD/JPY, good for 30 to 40 pips. If it comes out at -8 or less negative, I would buy USD/JPY and expect 30 to 40 pips price action as well. That's all for Thursday. If you want to make some money on nice spikes, try The Secret News Weapon (http://www.secretnewsweapon.com) - they also offer 25 days money back policy so try it and see if you can grow your account that way. A nice thing about the SNW is it has not only the autoclick feature but it will also allow you to see other reports so you will immediately know if there are any conflicts, and therefore you would know if you should stay in your trade or get out, or maybe even reenter on the retracement. With a fast market moving I cannot imagine checking on-line forex calendars that are really slow. If you are interested more in trading news, go to Forex Diamonds - News Trading Education (http://www.forexdiamonds.com) as I am trading there all of mentioned indicators live. Join the room, and get a lot of education from me and other traders that are there. I post trade plans and talk about the trades as well as give entry and exit signal live while the market moves. You can try it with no risk for 21 days so if you don't like it it is free. If you find it useful, then you can stick with us and make grow you live account with us. I am pretty sure you will be satisfied but at least give a try. Thank you and good luck with your trades. To Our Success! -Sir Pipsalot The video with the signal is recorded by Sir Pipsalot.

Our forex trader made $250,000 and a broker banned him
Wed, 14 May 2008 22:11:47 GMT
Hi there :) This is Felix writing. One of our "well-known" subscribers got banned by Oanda just a couple of months ago, because they felt like he was taking advantage of them. Indeed, according to the guy, in the last 14 months, he made around $250,000 by using Secret News Weapon on them. It's a common thing that forex brokers ban our Secret News Weapon users more than anyone else. They call this activity "sniping", and they claim that we take advantage of their "price feed". In reality what's really happening is that most of these forex brokers do not pass traders' orders to banks, and when hundreds of our Secret News Weapon users get in 2 or 3 seconds before the price spikes up or down, and then few seconds later, they exit with 20, 30, 40 pips or more of profit, the brokers get pissed, because they are the one who have to cover these gains out of their pockets. We've been using Secret News Weapon on them since 2006, and back in 2006, it was really easy to take advantage of these brokers, because at that time, most of them had no idea what was happening. In the middle of 2007, they really caught up to it, and started massive actions against our traders by banning their accounts, and by sometimes even refusing to pay their profits. But then...something interesting happened...I think many of these brokers realized that the traders that are making money with Secret News Weapon do not have the discipline to withdraw their profits, so instead they hope to make more, and they go around and piss away their profits on other "regular trades", and basically the broker gets these profits back that were stolen from them, and most of the times even more than just these profits. Oanda has actually been one of the most honest forex brokers among all of them. They've banned accounts of quite a few of our "big" traders, but they have always paid out the profits. If you want to read more about Secret News Weapon and try it with no risk for 25 days, go to www.SecretNewsWeapon.com (http://www.secretnewsweapon.com/&a=9c5d52) The real key is not to get greedy, keep your trading lots under 1,000,000 ($100/per pip), and keep your profit withdrawals to under $5,000. And of course, BE PATIENT, BE PATIENT, BE PATIENT, wait for the right opportunities, grab the spike, get out, and withdraw your profits. Regards, -Felix www.SecretNewsWeapon.com (http://www.secretnewsweapon.com/&a=9c5d52)

Wed, 14 May 2008 21:45:38 GMT
Daily Market Commentary for May 14, 2008 from Millennium-Traders.Com (http://www.millennium-traders.com) Todays top stock pick for the trading session was Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) with a posted loss on the trading day of just shy of 9 points.

Hello all! I'm a rookie, let the pips roll in!

Next Consulting Ltd
Wed, 14 May 2008 18:08:43 GMT
Next Consulting Ltd offer Managed Accounts, until now having a 4-star rating, on 10 reviews. I deposited two amounts totalling £75,000 with them[nearly $150,000], in October 2007 and February 2008, on the agreement that the capital would be 100% protected, and the return would be 10% per month. 10 days notice of withdrawal was required. I received monthly statements of the account for November, December and January, but none since. I asked for monthly payments of £2,500 [say $5,000] from March onwards. I received numerous promises and extended deadlines, but no money. On two occasions I was told that wiring instructions for transfer of the money I had asked for, had been given to the company's bank, and on one of these occasions that the bank had acknowledged the instructions in writing. These turned out to be lies. On April 21 2008 I instructed Next Consulting Ltd, to transfer to my bank account, in addition to the sums of £2,500 mentioned above, a sum amounting to £60,000 [nearly $120,000]. They told me the same day that a withdrawal form would need to be signed and returned by me, and that they would send me the necessary form that day. The form was never sent, and the money was not transferred. The company's website is now down, and e-mails addressed to them are returned undelivered.
