Yes of course you say I processed an outexchange and earned 4.9% but thats not entirely TRUE, because you must make your final percentajes over the TOTAL amount you have PLUS all the expenses you Had, and that would make it less than 1% per exchange! I think many of the persons in this HYI world have mathematical problems, they believe that it is possible to generate over 10% a day or 100% in 5 days and stuff like that, REAL SERIOUS BUSINESS generate relative HIGH interest compared to REAL LIFE PROGRAMS like your near BANK my 2 cents, many people dont succeed in any part of the world and think they will succeed here just because they dont have to do anything, well the reality is another one, you must use your brain, control yourself for not being as fool as believin in SCAMS etc... If they give me 5% from PIU I guess i will take my piece as stutgatz says. Joan |

Dear Investors, Thank you very much for your very important support and trust. First of all we would like to offer our most sincere condolences to anyone who might have lost a friend or a familiar in the latest disaster occurred in New Orleans by Storm Katrina. Sadly natural disasters are way to big and unpredictable to blame any human for this kinds of situations, the best we can do is just stand up and move with our lives and decide to value our life for the ones who lost it. As usual August operations worked smooth and almost problems free. Investors keep enjoying from our actual interest rate and thankfully website downtime was kept to a minimum. On another issues, as some of our investors might know, Intgold made some changes to their review policies and accounts levels, so many were affected by this changes. PIU was also affected by this change but the documents wanted by Intgold were already sent to them and in no time we should have our account already at the maximum Level. Please rest assured that this problem is not affecting PIU in any ways. On this newsletter issue we would like to write more about the future than the past: As you might have already noticed for PIU our priority is to make our investors feel safe about what we offer and do. Trust and Support from our investors is what we are looking for and we everyday are just trying to develop policies that would benefit you and your wealth. YOUR TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IS AS IMPORTANT FOR US AS YOUR INVESTMENT! With that said, we would like to inform you that , by approximately end of september you will enjoy from a new idea that was tought only to make you feel safe and in really good hands. Although not much detail will be given at the moment due to the importance of the new upcoming policies we would just highlight some of the changes. We want to also thank all those investors that contributed with their ideas in order to make us better investment managers. 1) Secure Login Area 2) New investment lines 3) Improved Login Area 4) RISK POLICY 5) Bug Fixes We are very sure that you will be more than delighted when the fully detailed information of this new PIU upgrade is released, detailed information will be explained in the next newsletter after the changes are made on our website. Thank you very much for your time, and we hope to always serve you as you deserve... |

New Due Diligence groups: We would like to proudly let you know that we have been accepted and verified by some Due Diligence groups, it is always a honor for us to count with honest persons that take care of their investors or members by exercising proper due diligence, we encourage due diligence and it will always a pleasure for us to work with honest groups. Between those groups are: 1) BMT Club ( http://www.bmtclub.com ) 2) Private Funds ( http://www.privatefunds.blogspot.com ) We would like to write a special note for all our investors which ask us WHY aren`t we listed in Feeder Funds pool of programs. The reason is only one, in order for us to be listed in their pool of programs we are obligated to raise the minimum investment to over 1000 usd. Sincerely that is not something that we would like to do, our group was created with the idea to have this kind of opportunities available to everyone and not for some ones. We believe that the small investor or even the poor person have also the right to have a brighter future. |

Dear Investors, Again, we sincerely thank every one of you for your amazing support and caring. Your desire to work with us is the best proof we have that we are on the right track and are providing you a quality service in exchange for your confidence in us. Since this will be our last newsletter for the year 2005, The PIU Team and Business Finance Group S.A would like to wish you HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a WONDERFUL HAPPY NEW YEAR in 2006. December is always a month to think about what you have done in the past year (2005), how many of your goals were met and how many were not, and a time to set up goals for the new year and to imagine yourself succeeding in all of them. We also encourage everyone to spend quality time with their family, as they are one of the best gifts that we have been given. Now for the business part: 1) The month of November passed with no issues at all. All goals were met and even surpassed. 2) We would like to inform you that our domain registration has been extended for another 5 years, up to Jan 20th 2011. 3) We would like to recommend to all PIU members that are using an AOL email account and who feel they are not receiving communications from PIU to please change your email address or check your SPAM box regularly. PIU Audits In January 2006, the expected new audit process will begin in which all our certified auditors will receive original bank statements from our account to show proof that we are holding the amounts required to honor our risk policy. As usual we would like to thank every one of them for their desire to help us in order to prove that there are still honest companies which really want to run an honest business. As you might know the PIU risk policy was created in order to prove important points: 1) That we have a sound money management strategy 2) That we are not in any way a PONZI or FAKE investment program. If you do some basic math, you would understand that it would be impossible for us to hold a reserve balance that will be constantly increasing as investors invest with us, and if our intentions are not the best, WHY then would we offer you an auditing process at our own free will. We have always believed that the best way to prove that we are a Real company with financial capabilities is to produce real gains, which we will do with consistency and time. Time is the most important factor, since it will slowly tear apart all those PONZI or FAKE companies that claim to have a source for generating income. PIU RECOMMENDATIONS We would like to encourage our investors to be realistic. Considering the contacts we have and with the knowledge accumulated over the years by BFG S.A advisors, we believe it is impossible to make in a consistent way 1% a day, much less 2 - 3 or 4% a day as some claim. As the amount of investment principal in a company increases, the possibility to achieve such a goal becomes harder. If you just do some basic math and calculate how much money you have lost in 2005 by putting money into those unrealistic companies, and then think what would have happened if you just put it into a real company like PIU, then, for sure, you would see more positive financial progress than you are seeing now. It is just a matter of having patience and a diversification plan. Unfortunately for many investors, we cannot compare to all those scams around in the internet that offer 50% a week or even 30% a month. But for us, the PIU Group and BFG S.A, our only comparatives are banks and other financial institutional which offer money funds, mutual funds or other long or short-term investment-type programs. So if you do compare us with those that we are trying to compete with, then you will be able to see how well we perform against our competition. In fact, those groups will not offer you a risk protection against your principal such as we offer! PIU 2006 As you all know PIU is always in constant evolution to offer our members the best services available. What's new with us: -- Starting in January 2006, PIU Online support. We will start offering a scheduled online support service to all our investors and visitors. Again, we hope each and every one of you has a great time in December with wonderful holidays and many fond memories, and that you enjoy your first steps to financial freedom through us. We wish you the very best in your future, and we look forward to a long-term and prosperous business relationship with you. The PIU Team HAPPY HOLIDAYS and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006 |

AUDITS: All our certified auditors and a small group of investors have received via postal mail, original statements of our bank account showing that we indeed hold the needed amount to cover the Minimum amount needed cover risk. Audits concluded successfully as expected. At this moment auditors are preparing the reports in order to be posted online. Our expected next Audit Review will be during the month of May 2006. LATEST EGOLD PANIC: We have received many support tickets asking almost the same question: How are we dealing with current e-gold situation and if we will be affected in any way... First of all, please let us direct you to a letter found in egold website and written by actual chairman of e-gold: http://www.e-gold.com/letter.html Here is our situation and our point of view: We are not in any way directly related to e-gold nor we are using the following explanation as an excuse for e-gold but it is important to have a straight view instead of just listen to opinions no matter how "reliable" they are: E-gold was the first company of its kind, with more than 5 years in the online market, it is actually one of the only which in fact is backed by real gold. In our experience and during all e-gold existence they have been target of investigations by regulating governments and commissions without any problems at all. In fact many of them you have never heard because there was no "hype" about it comming from remarkable "sources". The point we are trying to make is that this is not the first time and as they address on the egold letter such investigation happened on early days of December which was long time ago and if you are starting to REACT now it is indeed too late to do so, if thing were about to go wrong you for sure wont be able to sell your e-gold now, which is NOT happening, Omnipay is processing payments, London Gold Exchange is processing payments, Icegold is processing payments, without any excuses, if it is slow is because of the inmense panic selling happening. Once explained our point of view of the current situation lets explain our methods to protect us: We would like to recall the days PIU used to accept Intgold as a method for deposits, and also recall when PIU stopped accepting such ecurrency. Maybe many of our new investors might not remember but 3 month before such collapse of Intgold PIU stopped accepting this ecurrency. Was that luck? or was that planned? Certainly it was not luck, it was proper risk management, PIU noted certain irregularities and immediately ceased working with Intgold, not even 1 dime was lost during the process. Now we would like you to check this important "basic guideline" of our program which is written in our "how it works" section : "You can invest at any time of the year, interest gains will start after 5 business days of investment deposit." The reason for this guideline is because every investment we receive which surpases our minimum reserve balance needed to be hold in certain e-currency, will be immediately transferred to our bank accounts for further transfer to trading accounts. That means that our latent risk in ecurrency is actually very low as everything is almost immediately sent to our bank accounts. Please note that we also offer the possibility to wire transfer directly to our bank accounts, which is the best thing to do as no matter what ecurrency is used such must be converted to hard cash and sent to trading accounts. If you are considering buying egold or ebullion to invest with us, it is preferable to skip that step and transfer directly to our accounts. As you might note in our latest audit and the audits to come, they are from our bank accounts and not from ecurrencies, that is because balances are held in its majority in bank accounts and not in ecurrencies. To conclude we still accept e-gold and we still have enough trust in it to keep it as a viable investment method, again our Risk Management and Money Management policies where stablished way before those problems arised as it is not new that ecurrencies might collapse. Without anything else to add for this Month, except to wish you the best of the best in your future business relationships and goals... |

***PIU GROUP INFORMATIVE NEWSLETTER *** Dear Investor, As usual thank you very much for your continued support and trust in our program in which we make all efforts possible to offer you the best service and stable opportunity for the longer term. We are very happy with our sustained growth which shows your preference for us and common sense.February was a very exciting month for PIU,considering our first anniversary online in which we offered a bonus to our loyal and new investors. Investment performance for the month of February was as expected. PIU technical updates: Our technical team have been working in the internal system of PIU, also developing new projects to further secure communications and increase database performance. Hopefully by end of March we will be announcing some of the new features. These features have nothing to do with investments but with technical updates of our managerial system. IMPORTANT Recommendation: Before you invest with us, please make sure you understand how the program works, read the website thoroughly including the FAQ, there are reasons for why we would offer a higher interest gain in PIU active 100 than in PIU Flexi 10, these reasons are the LOCK UP periods and risk protection, which means that no interest or principal will be available for withdrawal during that time period. All the information regarding our programs is in our website and once there is something that you still cannot understand then please contact PIU Support. For this very same reason we have made an update of our Agreement and Terms of Use with the following paragraphs: F. Once you have selected a specific investment line for your funds, you will not be able to downgrade to a lower time lockup investment line or withdraw funds until full maturity of the actual investment line your funds are in. G. Your selection of an investment line is considered that you have read, understood and agreed with the terms of it. It is important that you understand the importance for us , since funds distribution in our trading accounts are allocated depending on the timeframes in which we count we will have the investments for further work. Common Questions Received in PIU Support: We would like to take some space here to do some collective answering for questions that have been asked many times by our investors: 1) How long will PIU be offering this opportunity? 2) Is there a maximum amount I can achieve over time with PIU? 3) Why is PIU in the HYIP arena if you say it is not an HYIP? 4) Does PIU have any physical offices? Most of our investors, after doing some basic calculations about our compounded interest, note that after 4 or 5 years the numbers would have accumulated in a very staggering way, which also makes these 2 questions, critical, Longevity and Capability. Lets start with some history from our business Group. The whole idea of starting a business opportunity like this started 5 years ago, it wasn't until 2004 when we first opened our Business Company in Costa Rica and decided to offer our idea to the public, during all these 4 years we were looking for a financial vehicle that would be able to provide exactly what we are providing to you right now, that means the ability to sustain growth, longevity, consistency and most importantly safety. Our business opportunity was setup in a very conservative way at the very beginning (if some of you remember we only had a plan of 5%/month/compounded) thus giving us the opportunity to keep our evolution after many tests, evaluation and observations. After many quite complex money management tests from trading models developed by our traders we were able to discover that we could offer you the actual risk policy in which your funds will be protected after a certain period of time, thus almost taking out the risk to your principal. We are sure you wonder what about the money at risk? The money at risk is our very own profits, so what we say is that our ability to profit from your trust is directly related to our honesty. We believe that we will be able to make more money if we are honest than if we are not. Our actual plans are for the very long term, we have a very successful strategy that enable us to offer you an amazing capability to profit and our goals although still confidential are aimed for the range of 5-10 years. If in a worst case scenario we have to shut down our business not because of a LOSS but just because any other reason, funds and gains will be returned immediately to you, that is not in question. The possibility of PIU going "private" (please note we have never considered this an option) is mostly dependant on our administrative abilities, actually our technical team keep working to offer us the most efficient way to administer our investors account and thus be able to handle a large client base while keeping our services as good as usual. Private-Investors-Union.com was initially created to reach the HYIP market and to offer the small investor the opportunity to enter in what we would call a program only available for the very rich masses. Of course our intention have always been able to help those investors who have been severely hurt by other programs that resulted in scam. We understand that this very same fact raise flags among those that have been hurt before. PIU have evolved over time and since the very beginning we are not to be compared with any other program out there, how can you we say that? Just by these very unique facts: 1) We offer a risk policy which is audited by third party auditors, being that TRANSPARENT shall be considered a good sign that our intentions are real. 2) We offer realistic returns, those who are serious must understand that is so to say "impossible" to pay a percentage figure "daily" or even weekly, in factalso monthly is very hard to achieve, it is our money management and our long term programs that let us profit and let us give you a considerable profit and the only reason for this is because money is being invested in real financial instruments. Of course this is also directly related to our mostly asked question, about our physical offices. But before answering this question, lets consider some of the "most" controlled environment for investing, the USA, have you ever thought about those American Funds which were also registered in the SEC and had offices everywhere, who were only there to scam funds to people? With that we would like to make you understand that it is not a physical office or a phone number that will make your money safe, it is the people behind it, the real initial intentions and their ability to change when a change is needed. If we do not offer phone numbers it is mostly because of the overheads this might cause to our business, please remember that at this very moment there are over 2400 members registered and growing, over 600 active investors, the overheads would be unbearable and unsustainable considering our minimum investments. We would have to hire more personnel and this incurs more expenses for our business. The internet is a very powerful tool to leverage but also very misused by crooks who stain the power of this tool. Details about our solution to this problem will not be available until after our second anniversary online. The human being was born with something that is very unique in them and that is "wisdom", it is this wisdom that can separate the winners from the losers, or the intelligent from the fool. Also with this wisdom we were also given flaws, like greed, fear, ego etc. more thoughts about this in our next newsletter. A Wise investor would: 1) Diversify 2) Have sound money management 3) Be realistic, and honest with him/herself 4) Gather important information We hope we have been able to answer many of the questions that wander the minds of our investors after PIU having achieved its first year online in a very successful way. As usual we wish you a very long term business relationship with us and that you feel that we are here to serve you for the long term. THE PIU TEAM |

Dear Investors, First of all thank you very much to the newcommers and the ones that have a long time working with us. Unfortunately this is a kind of Emergency Newsletter, in which we are forced to express that we were unfairly threatened by our ISP due to a group of merciless persons that were using our URL to spam everyone that is not even in our database client list. Of course the spammed people with reasons complained to spam authorities and our ISP was threatened with full ban of their whole network. They call this situation being "Joe-jobbed". We had to take our site down in order to move it to another host. Please rest assured that your funds are not in any way compromised by this kind of actions, nor it is our program, but only our online presence and your ability to check your accounts online. As you might know we do have our backup system ready to work for this emergency and you will keep receiving emails from our mirror system regarding the interest earnings of your accounts including this very same email for further future notifications. At this moment we are working immediately on leasing another host provider and to let them know beforehand that this kind of situation will continue, so they are prepared and do not let our site go down again. We estimate that in about 3-4 days our online presence and your ability to check your accounts will be again restored. On the meanwhile you can communicate with us using our yahoo groups in case of emergency, unfortunately we will not be able to process any withdrawals due to the lack of the full admin system until our online systems are fully restored. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/piugroup/ This is a very important moment for us, specially to prove you that we indeed have taken all the measures necessary to cover this kind of extreme situations. We repeat that we are again very serious about our endeavours and we have spent in resources to cover this kind of situations, so please rest assured that this is just a small problem that will be corrected as soon as possible. if you wish to communicate with PIU support via Email please feel free to do so by writing at piu_spprt1@yahoo.com We thank you very much for your understanding and continued trust and support.

*** PIU GROUP INFORMATIVE NEWSLETTER *** ************************************************** **************** We have been working in the background to try to see if there is some way that any of our funds can be recovered from Financia Investing and in particular Gregory Dixon. Apparently the US authorities will not even start an investigation unless they have complaints from US investors with lost funds amounting to (between them) at least $50,000. We have a couple of US investors already who are willing to put their names forward but we need more of you so that the US authorites will at least start the ball rolling. If anyone is willing to help, please email support@bfgadmin.com with your username and the amount you invested in PIU and we will give you more details. For the moment this information is only needed from our US investors as those are the only people that the authorities will take notice of. |
