Actually MR, I think that it was because I forgot to put lose at the end of my original post, so PFP was either finishing off my post or implying something, not sure

Anyhow, on CPU I requested contact details and additional details as to how returns are generated and Adam prompltly answered my questions in a lot of detail and also provided additional details about the companies structure and plans for the future. With returns of .6 % per day, everything sounds very plausible and the returns are in a sustainable range

In my personal opinion, its worth at least a look and it may be one of the big performers for 2004 but don't hold me to it, I am just reporting on what info Adam has provided me

I am hoping that Adam will visit this fourm and answer any questions that anybody has

I was just wondering if he knew of something that would be in our interests I wasnt really getting at him but I suppose it is my special PR lol!
Yes I have already signed up in CPU although I dont have anything invested with them yet still trying to make the transition

They need a web designer - the front page scrolls to its exact dupliacate if you go more than one screen, at least in Opera.

Speaking of which, o great Admin, get back to me and tell me what the filename is of the file that wants tweaking in the forum. I spent an hour going through forum files this morning and couldn't find it. I know what to do, just not what to do it to. E-mail me.

Thanks -
Rhys

OK, Sorry about that Rhys, info sent!

Hello High Performance HYIPs

Sorry for this inconvenience but the
CPU Investments public web site is
unavailable.

The site will be back online within 48 hours.

The site was taken out of DNS by our host
and was explained to us as a mistake.

This is the 2nd problem we have had with this
host so we have decided to move on.

The CPU backend system will remain on
our dedicated server hosted elsewhere, so
you are still able to login as normal at: http://myprofitshares.com/hyip/members.php

Hello High Performance HYIPs

The web site problem is not as bad as
first thought.

The site is accessible to most Internet
Service Providers (ISP's).

If you cannot view
http://www.cpuinvestments.com
you should be able to view the site again
within 24 hours.

Although all efforts by the host provider
were made to correct the issue as quickly
as possible, we are still moving to the new
host provider.

The new host provider is completely offshore
and will add to our privacy.

Hello High Performance HYIPs

Welcome to CPU Investments, I am truly
happy that you have joined with us on a
journey that is sure to become a
prosperous adventure.

May you stand tall and strong, whilst
remaining calm and steadfast in the
pursuit of your goals. And, most importantly,
may you smile frequently in 2004.

:-)

In just over 3 months CPU Investments has
achieved so much but I believe that this isn't
even the beginning. I mean the first 6 months is
just about getting it together. Over time
you will understand where I am coming from.

There is too much to tell during these
early stages of development but let me
ramble for a moment so that you may gain
some insight into what CPU Investments is
all about.

Apart from having knowledge and contacts
within the short term money market,
CPU Investments have close contacts with
product developers and marketers both
online and offline.

>From time to time CPU Investments
will loan funds to a type of venture
capital fund to support the launch of
new businesses and/or products.

This type of opportunity is tremendous,
especially when the products are distributed
in one or more of the following ways:
*Via MLM or Affiliate Marketing
*Product available to order online
*Product downloads over internet

If a business uses one or more of these
distribution methods, the costs are low,
profits are high.

Our first 'Business and Product Launch'
is IQ Electronic Productions (IQEP),
opening on January 19 2004.

$5000 will be invested on behalf of
CPU Investments for an Internet Advertising
Campaign for IQEP. The return on investments
will be 24% of ALL IQEP's monthly profits for
36 months.

For more details about IQEP please visit
the test site at http://iq-ep.com

If you are interested in becoming an IQEP
Member prior to launch on January 19 2004
please let me know via reply email. Include
your internet marketing experience if any
and a brief outline of you work experience.

For Members who do not approve of this type
of investment, please be aware that this
investment is at no risk to Members funds.
These funds are coming from the Principles
of CPU Solutions Corp. including myself.

Although the funds are not coming from the
CPU Investments fund, the interest earned
is to be placed into the CPU Investments
fund.

We are doing this to create some confidence
from you, High Performance HYIPs, and all other Members
for this type of venture. Lets us look at
IQEP as an introduction to some plans we have
that are not related to our FOREX account
or high yield investments but just as
profitable, if not more.

The aim is to create funds with TRUE diversification
while building a supportive membership that
evolves into a private club. This is surely
becoming a reality.

CPU Investments is getting there and in the
process is assisting CPU Solutions Corp. to
plan ahead with confidence to become a World
Class Internet Solutions provider. More about
this next month.

If you have any questions or require further
details, please visit the forum and post your
comments there:
http://www.cpuinvestments.com/forum
At this stage you have to register separately
with the forum.

All the best and I hope you had a wonderful
holiday season.

Kind Regards
Adam Gersbach
Managing Director,
CPU Solutions Corp.

I was about to throw some money at CPU for a test drive
although I can't figure out what they really do other then, I
quote from their website:
"The CPU Investment Team have a diverse portfolio including
managed FOREX trading accounts and private investments."

Phillip's research motivated me however to take a closer look
and perhaps give it a try.

After I read this:

I have to say this is a rather lame idea imo. They try to sell
yet another anti aging product via an mlm structure with
a basic website which is btw registered by CPU on
December 23/03.
Basically CPU seems to own this site and most likely runs
it as well. In other words they take 5K from their own capital
(so they say) and invest it in another venture they run.

CPU claims to make 24% on "all profits" So what does that
mean? What is all profits??

I am not trying to knock this down and it has nothing to do
with the so often too quickly used word scam but I can't help
this looks to me very Mickey Mousey.

Hi Kenzo -

I'm a little leery of this myself, though the admin does seem to be an okay guy.

Weird, okay, we all know that investing emotionally and not 'rationally' is a bad thing. But if I see an HYIP site with pictures of happy stockbroker types and skyscrapers and busy computers and charts - I'm outta there.

Not sure why.

I have noticed on some occasions that my subconscious mind will pick up something that went right by consciously (like something that really didn't add up only it takes a while for me to work it out so that I understand it, I just get really uneasy about it until then), and that's saved me some grief - if I get a weird feeling about it, I won't invest, even if everything else checked out. Or I might put in a very small test spend if people I respect have a high opinion of the programme. But somehow it's never gone further than that - and it has saved me a few thousand dollars over the years.

If most of us feel/think that emotional investing is bad (and I do too, you need to think about this stuff, and I have seen people still attached to scams six or eight or ten months after they closed cos 'of course they will come back and pay' - that's sad), does anyone else get those 'I don't know why but I really feel like I ought to stay clear of this one' feelings and go by them?

Sorry for rambling.

Take care -
Rhys

Same here, unless I have a darned good reason. And, I figured out why it bothers me. Most of these are 'cookie cutter' sites that have been bought 'off the rack'. Many have not even been customized to reflect the actual program. There is NO indication of any 'original' thinking or effort, and nothing to differentiate it from literally hundreds of other programs, many of which turn out to be making false claims. I'm NOT saying that is the case here, but I've noticed that I get the same reaction - Just another 'template' site, nothing original.

The one feature that I noticed? six week safety net. Apparently, POSSIBLY more thinking involved, but...

Would be nice to have more information on what is actually being done, and how, in order to be better informed. WHY is the program special, and worth me considering placing my hard earned funds there. Does the thinking and planning that it takes to put together a good program showing through? That it has a reasonable chance to work?

No, the site is NOT the program.

"The CPU Investment Team have a diverse portfolio including
managed FOREX trading accounts and private investments."

That sounds SO similar to everything else. WHY should I invest? How long? Admins experience? Admittedly, much of this comes with time, and research into a program. Maybe it's just me getting pickier, but I have the same reaction as Rhysem.

See a template site, I'm gone. If I'm going to make a serious investment, I'd like to see more than a quick template set up.

All of that being said, I have not taken a serious look at cpu investments, for exactly the same reason. Cookie cutter site, I spend less than 15 seconds, deciding 'it's not for me'.

One quick comment, if I may? The 'newsletter' listed above, contains the information that I would really like to see ON THE SITE ITSELF, and not have to dig through the forum to find. With a 'template' site, myself, and, it would seem, others, are not likely to get that far. I see the front page, 'same old thing', and I'm gone.

Show me what is is, why it's working/going to work, and share some planning details that I can dig my teeth into, and see if it makes sense.

Just my opinion,
Jeff



Posted by: evolve

I've had a phone conversation with Adam, the admin of CPU, who seems/claims to be the PR man for several other businessmen who would like to stay private.

Adam leaves a favourable impression and is definately someone "who wasn't born yesterday".

Their income is said to be from

1. Forex - traded by one of Adam's associates

The Saxobank platform is being used. http://www.saxobank.com

The point of contact I was given is "Casper" - senior executive


2. Henry McDonald

has a network of buyers - sellers. He buys in Bulk large orders of fruits and vegetables and resells them to smaller distributors for a profit of 5-20% per order.


3. Internet venture

I didn't get into a detailed discussion on this, as it isn't set up yet.

----------

I asked for proof of FX trading, and after a couple of days, Adam sent me an email with a long explanation from the FX trader. In short his answer was:

He is not prepared to make public the account details and that if he made an exception to me he would have to do the same for everyone.

-----------

I haven't spent to CPU mainly because I'm way to involved with my own stuff to be investigating HYIPs.

But if someone has the time it might be a good idea to see if more info can be gathered.

They claim to be a registered Offshore company...maybe someone could try and get proof of that for a start.

Tony



Posted by: admin

Hi Tony, agreed!

From my conversations with Adam via e-mail he has been both helpful and quite knowledgable

I have been planning to ring him for the last couple of weeks but have not had time. I will try to give him a call this week and advise

What bothers me the most about this program is this:
Quote:
Members who refer others to CPU Investments will receive a bonus commission of 0.2% of each Referred Members' Principal each day.

To be eligible for Referral Commission, a Member must have a minimum of $100 principal.


Does anyone know of any other program that pays a portion of principal as referral that has not run with the money?

The second thing that bothers me is this:
Quote:
The comapny generates returns from Forex and other business activities such as Fresh Produce

I could understand why you wouldn't get a bank loan for Forex, but fresh produce is a very common business, I would expect they could get that financed from a bank, rather than pay .6% per day (+.2% on qualifying balances) to internet investors??

They could mean they are trading in the Commoditties market when they are talking about fresh produce or may even be investing in a fresh produce market concern ?
Just a thought.

Posted by: admin

When I first posted this thread I mentioned that some returns are generated from the sale of Fresh Produce, as Adam mentioned it to me in our e-mail conversations about 3 weeks ago. BUT I dont think that it actually mentions it on their site

Quoted from our e-mail conversation:

Quote:
The other half of CPU funds are managed by XXXXXX who is
heavily involved in the fruit, vegetable and produce markets

XXXXXX generates returns by buying in bulk and reselling to
other networks and large fruit and vegetable shop owners. This
market is extremely lucrative as XXXXXX track record ranges from
0.5% per day to 20% per day and averages well over 30% per month

I think referral commissions in CS are paid from members' pockets, not from the program's and that's why they don't care if members own multiple accounts or not.

Actually, for those accounts with less than 100 Euro, CS does earn a portion of their referral commissions because for those accounts, the amounts paid out are calculated on their balances, and CS keeps all the exceeding amounts- which sometimes could be way more than those paid out with large accounts. I'd say it's the most unique referral system I've ever seen.

I am still not sure what you mean, But as far as I am aware Comshares pays the initial person from whom they refer a part of their earnings in referral commission which I believe is 50%-5% admin fee or as near as damn it .
i.e.
If you have an account of 120 euros and a referral account of 20 euro's you would recieve your full share of 120*x%+50%-5% of the 20*x% .
I have a hypothetical investment on my website if you care to look and it shows what can and is achieved on two *120euro's accounts and one referral of 20euro's and is in line with the current interest rates from January 1st 2004.

memorex



Posted by: ngkh

That's right.

But let say if you have only 90Euro, and your referral have 200 Euro, you'll only receive 90* x% * 50% * .95 from your own account and another identical amount from your referral, but if you have more than 100 Euro, the amount from your referral would be 200*x%*50%*.95. In these cases, they keep the differences.

I can't tell where CPU stops and Comshares starts in this thread, but I think you guys are getting two programmes mixed up here.

To me this would never enter the equation as I would not invest less than the amount to make it work correctly.
If you do you are not going to make any money so why bother in the first place .

Hello High Performance HYIPs

Everything is now operating as normal
but there are many issues that still need
to be resolved.

All Members did not receive a payment
for February 15. This will be corrected
in the next few days.

If you had sent a support request in the
past 5 days please resend it as I am sure
there is some email that I have not received.

I am several days behind many duties but
withdrawals are up to date and will continue
to be paid as normal.

'The Placement of New Funds'...
Basically, we have added to the current
investments and have just created a deal
with an experienced FX Day Trader.
Another Day Trader will be added to the
team within weeks.

And, the Member rate increase, the new rate
will be 0.7% per day and reviewed in 4 weeks.
The Referral rate will not be increased.

The increase will take place in one Monday
February 23 2004.

More details will be posted at the end of
the week.

Thank you for your patience.

Sorry for this inconvenience but all Members

and February 18.

Some Members have 1 to 3 other missed

To correct this problem and ensure there
are no missed payments requires a script

Please be assured that you will receive

Hi,

I've been in CPU for about 3 and a half months, and they have been fantastic, which may mean nothing but does contribute to stability if they are for real.

For example, when they missed payments in the first month they paid triple to compensate. Since the percentage is low, I'm guessing they keep enough of the earnings to act as a safety net. Also, they do charge for withdrawals.

The referral question is interesting. They were talking about dropping referrals and people on the forum objected, saying "why shouldn't we get something for the investors we bring in." They had some kind of referendum and finally settled on the .2% daily thang.

In other words, they communicate and respond to investors' concerns extraordinarily well.

Hope this has been of use,

maxima
