Pascal, I am the last one to believe in things I have no idea about. This I however have good knowledge about thanks to my mentors.
However I am easily seeing what I was told by my mentors. The average retail investor (much like I am but have been fortunate enough to be invited to join a group that thinks way differently to any of us here) has no idea about where real wealth comes from.
I am also fortunate enough to being mentored to this new way of thinking and WOW the possibilities outside the box are limitless, with harsh rules but WOW if you get it.
The last time they did this, and I was not involved yet they took R50 million and turned it into R238 mil in 19 months. Now that's returns way beyond even my thoughts and admittedly they were a lot more risky investments but they proved to me how it was done.
I thought let me try and expand on an idea that JohnQ posted on tickertalk, see here,
http://www.tickertalk.co.za/blog.php?user=Johnq&blogentry_id=1763.
These guys have agreed to allow me access to the investment options & products and for them to be restructured to suite low risk guaranteed capital investments for the retail investor.
So at the moment the product is there and waiting. I am just sorting out some of the details to allow for the terms I have proposed.
But the main hick-up seems to be the so-called "unrealistic" returns. So I will again ask it differently: (NOTE ORRIGINAL PROPOSAL STILL STANDS) but to satisfy the sceptical mind -
IF YOU WERE TO INVEST ANYTHING FROM R10k to R300K what would you feel is a fair return over the 120/150/180 & 360 days?
You choose your rate because if you want in then you will be paid what you feel is fair. The remaining amounts up to the 45% I guess will be shared between the others, and you loose profit due to your belief that these returns are not possible. Your loss I guess.
