WARNING: Many People Are Reporting Problems With This Company!
Tropical American Tree Farms has an investment opportunity that even Al Gore may approve of. If you have a concern for our environment and prefer to invest in a socially responsible way, owning some high demand tropical hardwood trees as a long term investment is the perfect solution.
Here you have an opportunity to feel good about doing your part to help the environment by owning and having new trees planted in the rainforest of Costa Rica. Each tree that you purchase has a great return on your investment that will continue to pay out for at least 25 years.

This week we bring your attention to four new “reverse pension” programs that have just entered the spotlight. It does not take much to pick apart these copycats of the original RPPs (Global Pension Plan, ICC, E65) that still have not yet paid out a single dollar after reaching full membership for months and in E65’s case, years.
Here is the list of the new programs you should be wary of steering clear of unless you want to ignore all the red flags waving and sirens wailing.

The Harvest Companies appears to be a solid investment opportunity for those looking to diversify into high yield real estate investing. The company has been around since 1989 and in 1994 started to make joint venture loans to developers and real estate investors.
Since that first joint venture, Harvest has been involved in financing the acquisition of over $300 Million of commercial and residential real estate. Today, Harvest Companies is a diversified real estate organization engaged in residential home building, land development, and construction of senior housing.
Harvest offers high-yield, predictable, short-term investments secured by residential and commercial property. Historically, these investments have been 40-50% higher than other interest-bearing investments.

The “investors” in Pathway-2-Prosperity are all about to hit the jackpot with their small investments… and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Recently I’ve received several invitations from current participants to join P2P in my mailbox. There are also a lot of buzz going around on the forums regarding this investment by its supporters, so I have decided to investigate.
Once again, in my opinion, I feel another big scam is in the makings. The only pathway that P2P is leading this big group of lemmings (3182 members at last count) is off the cliffs, right after their pockets have been emptied of spare change. It still amazes me how many people out there will forgo logic once greed sets in with promises of a fast buck. The lessons are never learned of past scams.

Previously I mentioned a new payment portal solution company called U-GotCash.com that is starting and the opportunity to become a founding shareholder and have an equity stake in it. In further research, it appears that there are some positive correlations with several other companies that may make this a safe investment.
To become a shareholder of U-Gotcash, you will have to sign up at FinancePortalSolutions (FPS). FPS is headquartered in Panama City, Panama and offers a range of investment solutions. According to their website, there are currently four different programs that are being offered, Gap Funding, Hedge Funding, Offshore Structuring/Banking, and the U-GotCash payment portal.
Invest in any of their programs and your investment will grow within a certain period of time depending on the program you are registered to. Here is the list from the site:

The tremendous growth in hedge funds in the past few years has been quite phenomenal. Only several years ago, they numbered in the 100s; today they have surpassed the 9000 mark. Growth of the hedge funds comes from several reasons; superior performance and the expertise of the fund managers. The growth can also be attributed to the ease in which a fund can be started; even by a non financial professional.
A relatively new fund, Aluben Holdings, based in Canada is performing quite well (36% for the first 6 months). Take a look to see if their strategy fits the way you invest. Like most hedge funds, it is structured as a limited partnership and a private offering. You must meet accredited status to participate depending on where you live. The minimum investment is $5K and the cost per Class A unit is $150K. Visit the site to get the Offering Memorandum and Subscription Agreements.

In the world of pre IPOs and start-up venture capital, the small investor rarely has an opportunity to participate in either one. These investments are usually reserved for the preferred clients of the underwriting firm or be invited to participate because of their “accredited” status i.e. have high net worth. Today, we introduce you to Bridge – Global Investment Network. The smaller investors now have an avenue to be able to invest in start-up companies that are about to go public, or provide seed money to new companies with ground breaking products and services.
Bridge Group International Ltd., was founded in 2004, incorporated in Belize, headquartered in the financial district of Panama, and formed with the vision of creating a global community of investors. Bridge is an international investment club that gives its members the opportunity to invest in growth companies through ownership of shares or stocks before they are publicly traded on the stock-markets.

Investing some times should be fun and exciting. So what we have here is an opportunity to share in the spoils of sunken treasures, gold, silver and priceless artifacts. You even get a chance to visit the dive site as part of the investment package; go for a dive and the first treasure you uncover, you get to keep. Just like in the good old days, finders keepers!
As a child growing up, I remember hearing stories of lost treasures hidden by seafaring Pirates who navigated the seas not too far from where we lived. I was just one of many children who fantasized about one day finding a lost treasure map that will lead us to a buried chest full of gold. The reality of that fantasy was no longer a dream for one life long treasure hunter named Mel Fisher (1922-1998).
