NEWS from the HYIP World

GOLD PRICES have moved up since last week. As of this writing they are at $405 an ounce. Over the short term it is still in the downtrend. However the longer term chart still remain bullish as long as we stay above $390 an ounce. On the upside I would like to see Gold break above $410 an ounce and than $415. If we can break those 2 resistance points we will be looking very good again.

Nasdaq Profit Trading Update

We started the month of February with 2 wins and 1 loss for the week. (I will take that, a $100 bettor assuming they followed the trades would of made $96 PROFIT last week.) Anything over 60% over a 3 month period can make a person very good money. Any purchases by February 29th will receive the March trades. October, November, December, and January have been winning months! We will see if we can continue that streak in February.

http://www.alleycatnews.net/npt

The trades have been very solid and anything over 60% a person can make some good money if they have solid money management.

These trades can be placed through Betonmarkets, a Futures broker, or spread trading account.

Each month we will be offering on average 6-8 trades that have a past performance of up/down days of 63% or greater.

If having another way to profit is something that you are interested in please READ the website for ALL THE DETAILS. (I do have to limit the membership)

When you trade yourself you control your $$$$, if you are tired of HYIP's that change the rules after you invested, or just plain disappear you may want to look into trading for yourself.

Let's talk $$$$

One thing that they don't teach you in school at least in the U.S. is about money. I am not quite sure why as it effects so much of a person's life.

Most people that have a job in this world, have it for one reason. TO MAKE MONEY!! Sure some people love their jobs and enjoy going to work everyday, however ask them would you go to work each day if they didn't pay you? The vast majority of us wouldn't. We need money to buy things, pay the mortgage, eat, entertain us etc... It effects so much of a person's life yet people aren't taught how to use it properly. If a person doesn't get it from school they may pick it up from their home and in the US that usually isn't the best place to learn about money either, as we have more foreclosure and bankruptcies per capita than at any other time in History.

People spend up to $100,000 for a college education in order to have a good job that they enjoy after they gradate. Yet they don't have the first clue about $$$$.

Trust me I have been there, I was in debt up to my eyeballs just a few years ago. I will tell you my story next week.

Money is a powerful thing it can great asset if you have it and use it correctly, or it can be a HUGE liability if you don't have it. Lack of money and the stress that it brings breaks up more marriages than any other thing. Not just because a person is in debt but because a person works longer hours to earn more money which leaves no time for the family.

I urge you if you have children to look at purchasing the Retire Quickly Ecourse. It is $50 and offers a 10 day NO RISK TRIAL. Sit down go over it with your spouse and kids or just read it for yourself. If you don't like it just cancel and you will owe NOTHING and you will at least have a great knowledge of the business. If you are saving money for your Children's college education take $50 and teach them about $$$. You can't get your money back from a college if you didn't like what they taught, but you can with Retire Quickly. Check out the information and the 10 day No Risk Offer.

HYIP PROGRAMS

Netpay's website has continued to have problems the following message is now on their website. "NetPay are transferring servers and installing firewall equipment. Please try again after 24 to 48 hours. Thank you for your continuing patience." Hopefully they will get their problems fixed once and for all this time.

We will start to merge the HYIP Programs section into the HYIP Due Diligence Section.

HYIP DUE DILIGENCE

It is finally here!!!

Each company will be in a category. I personally will only invest in the companies that Pass DD.

I will be fazing out the $200 Test section of the Newsletter and going just to the HYIP DD section.

Who is in the HYIP DD is up to YOU!!! Their are 100's upon 100's of HYIP's and their is no way I can cover them all. So if you know of an HYIP that you would like DD on you can forward their e-mail and website to me so I can send them an e-mail.

MANY HYIP DUE DILIGENCE WEBSITES HAVE FAILED IN THE PAST THIS ONE WILL NOT AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW SOME SIMPLE RULES.

1. NO DAILY PAYING PROGRAMS ALLOWED. I don't care if they have lasted a year plus. I don't like Daily payers and will NOT do DD on them. If a program offers daily, weekly and monthly they are still NOT ALLOWED. I will not deal with Daily payers at all. SO DON'T FORWARD THEM TO ME. The only type of daily payers that I will do is ones like daily trades where they tell you the exact trade they placed and if it wins you win if it loses you lose.

2. I will ONLY accept programs that pay on weekly, biweekly or monthly basis. Which means no daily payers and no programs that take more than 1 month to pay out.

3. The program that you forward to me must have a paying track record of at least 90 days! If it doesn't than don't forward it to me.

4. NO Batch games or coin flip stuff.

5. You may forward me companies only to alleycatdd@yahoo.com

Why all the rules you ask? Well as I said in the past 98% of all HYIP's are scams or will eventually fail for one reason or another. I put in the rules to eliminate a good portion of the HYIP's out there that fail. (Maybe you think 80-90% fail, bottom line most do and I want to eliminate as many off the bat as possible)

You won't see hundreds of HYIP's listed in the DD section that just isn't going to happen. As I have said many times most HYIPers have less than $2000 to play with which means you shouldn't be in more than 5-10 MAX. anyway. Hopefully over time we will find some solid programs to add to the HYIP DD section.

A note on DD. DUE DILIGENCE DOES NOT EQUAL THE PROGRAM WILL LAST FOREVER. All DD does is weed out some of the scams. People that really want to scam people in HYIP can make false information available via DD etc.. SO NEVER INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!! JUST BECAUSE IT PASSES DUE DILIGENCE DOES NOT MEAN ALLEY CAT NEWS ENDORSES THE PROGRAM. WE DO NOT ENDORSE ANY PROGRAM. INVEST AT YOUR OWN RISK.

HYIP Programs which we have DD on

1. Steady Growth Traders.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/steadygrowthtraders/

They trade in the forex market each week. Past recent returns have varied between 0-5%. They have now gone totally private so they will be removed from our website next week as only current members will be able to invest with them.

------------------------------------------------------------------

HYIP Programs that REFUSED DD

These companies were all contacted by me with a request that they provide DD so that we could check them out and put them into the Newsletter. These companies SAID NO to DD for one reason or another. THESE ARE COMPANIES I WOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! REMEMBER 98%+ OF ALL HYIP'S ARE SCAMS WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THE 2% THAT ARE LEGIT!!

1. APXPRO

2. CASHBUILDER

3. PERCENTAGE IN GOLD

4. COM-SHARES

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HYIP Programs that NEVER RESPONDED TO DD

These companies were all contacted by me with a request that they provide DD so that we could check them out and put them into the Newsletter. These companies NEVER RESPONDED to the request. Which personally I feel is WORSE than saying NO to the DD, the reason being if they aren't even willing to respond, than they won't respond to their investors either when times get tough. They were all given a minimum of 5 days to respond before being put into this section. THESE ARE COMPANIES I WOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! REMEMBER 98%+ OF ALL HYIP'S ARE SCAMS WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THE 2% THAT ARE LEGIT!!

1. Five-4-Life

2. Innovativetrades

3. Online Forex Trade

4. Golden Reserve

--------------------------------------------------------------

We are doing some Due Diligence on a couple companies now and will hopefully have a few more that pass DD next week. Remember I ONLY ask for DD from companies that YOU the reader provides so YOU determine what companies I contact. (Based on the above rules of course)

Those are the programs so far. Again if you have a program that you would like to know if they would provide DD please contact me at the above email address. The HYIP DD section will be as good as you the reader want it to be. My goal is for people to look to the list and view the programs that have refused DD and avoid them. Hopefully over time that will bring more solid programs to the front of the pack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

2004 can be the year of Financial freedom if you want it to be. But you need to be a smart/informed investor.

2004 will be our BEST YEAR EVER! Whether your goal is to make $500 a month or $5000+ Alley Cat would like to help you achieve your goal. Our goal is for you to retire early.

Please remember Alley Cat News NEVER Recommends ANY program even if we do get the DD on them. This is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. We do invest in some of the programs BUT ONLY IF WE GET THE DD FROM THE COMPANIES. If we can't get the DD from the company we pass on investing in them. We feel that in order to get our hard earned money they need to show us they are for real with the DD. WE ARE NOT SAYING that any program that doesn't provide us with the DD is a scam however we feel it is wiser to only invest when we know the DD of the company. If there are other HYIP newsletters or sites that have the DD we mentioned on the company and are willing to release it if the company has problems that is another bonus to HYIP investors.

I know we have MANY NEW readers to Alley Cat as our subscriber list continues to grow. For information on daily programs and other interesting HYIP news please review our past issues of Alley Cat HYIP News at our website. You can find the Past Newsletters under the tab of "HYIP Newsletter"

http://www.alleycatnews.net

The average HYIP investor who has $2000 or less to invest shouldn't be in more than 5-10 different programs to start off. And there are enough of those good programs out there that will allow Due Diligence, actually trade/gamble/pool your funds. I mean if your really looking to make money in the industry why mess with the scam programs. If you don't want to trade yourself, at least pick decent programs that ACTUALLY Invest YOUR money.

Alley Cat News NEVER RECOMMENDS AN HYIP PROGRAM. The only program Alley Cat News ever recommends is IPS, Nasdaq Profit Trading, and Retire Quickly.

However Alley Cat performs Due Diligence on programs and will let our readers know of programs that have had a decent track record. In these cases we have personally spoken with the Program Admin., and will have the personal contact information available as well.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY PROGRAM. YOU INVEST IN HYIP's AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALLEY CAT CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR LOSSES THAT INCUR DURING YOUR HYIP INVESTING.

You can always find the current issue of Alley Cat News HYIP on the website under HYIP Newsletter.
