Ferrum Forex Group LLC

Ferrum Forex Group LLC or better known as FFG is a Forex trading HYIP program that offers two attractive investment packages

Standard Plan

  • 1.8%-2.3% fixed daily interest
  • Investment term - 63 days
  • Interest is paid on trading days (Monday to Friday)
  • Minimal deposit is $3.50
  • Maximum $10,000 per deposit
  • Fast withdrawals! All withdrawals are processed within two hours
    after the request
  • Principal is returned back to investor
  • Compounding is available
  • 10% first deposit bonus

Premium Plan

  • 14%-19% fixed weekly interest
  • Investment term - 9 weeks
  • Interest is paid once in a week
  • Minimal deposit is $20.00
  • Maximum $10,000 per deposit
  • Fast withdrawals! All withdrawals are processed within two hours
    after the request
  • Principal is returned back to investor
  • Compounding available
  • 15% first deposit bonus

My experience with FFG has been sweet so far. I invested twice in this program and I have always been paid daily with out a miss for well over a month. My second investment is in a premium package and my weekly payment has come through smoothly. The compounding in this program makes it a highly attractive program.

Another thing I like about the program is the security feature and the classy website. My account was locked for the second time now as a security measure because of wrong password trials from my end. Although, it is annoying, I feel safer knowing it is not going to be easy for someone to get into my account. It says a lot about a HYIP program. FFG looks like a good place to invest in, although the compounding and huge returns make it look a bit odd

Here’s a screenshot of FFG advanced calculator on how $500 investment can give huge returns after 9 weeks in Premium plan and 100% compounding.



But, as always it is better to get the principal back before investing with 100% compounding. FFG is a HYIP which means there are risks involved. Invest wisely.

Angel-Capital, Ltd.

Quoting the Angel Capital official website:

Angel-Capital, Ltd. is a new FOREX trading company. However, with the professionalism and multi-year experience of the company's team as well as application of innovative techniques and delicate individual treatment of every particular client we intend to instill in our clients a high level of trust and confidence and take a firm place among international financial leaders.

My experience with Angel Capital has been mixed. I have invested in them twice and they have paid me both the times in full.

However, they have not been so communicative. Emails were never answered, calls were never picked and they were always late in processing the requests to withdraw money. My personal experience says, the best way to get hold of Angel Capital customer representative or the admin himself is to contact via Yahoo messenger of ICQ (the links to both are listed in the angel capital official website). Although my emails were not answered, they were quite prompt at helping me with withdrawing money whenever I contacted via instant messengers.

Part of the reason why my withdraw request processing was their script problem with E-Bullion (the funding source I normally use). Last time I communicated with the program admin via ICQ messenger, he informed me that they are working on fixing the problem.

Overall, Angel Capital, although not the best place to invest money, is not a bad place to invest either. In the scale of 10, I would give it a 6.5.

They have 3 plans for investments:

1. For $10 to $2,999 investments, you get 22% daily.

2. For $3000 to $39999 investments, you get 23.2% daily

3. For $40,000 to $500,000 you get 25% daily.

The interests are paid only on working days and like all other HYIPs, you run the risk of losing your investment.

Firefox better at fighting off Phishing than IE?


In the world of investment, phishing is probably the worst and most common scam around. Phishing can fool individuals into thinking that they are into legitimate websites, stealing sensitive information. The threat of phishing has been around for a while now and both firefox and Internet explorer has taken steps to combat phishing. But which one is better? Firefox 2 or IE 7

The SmartWare test, tested the integrated anti phishing warning features of firefox 2 and that of Internet Explorer 2

Yahoo News reported :

Both IE7 and Firefox have built-in antiphishing features designed to alert you when you’ve hit a fraudulent site. With Microsoft’s browser, antiphishing is turned on by default. Each Web site you visit is checked against a database maintained by Microsoft, and known frauds are blocked.

Firefox has two antiphishing options. With the first, the sites you visit are checked against a local database on your computer. With the second, the sites you visit are checked against a live database maintained by Google.

In the SmartWare test, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 blocked 690 known phishing sites, or 66.35 percent of the total. In contrast, Firefox blocked 78.85 percent when using a local antiphishing database and 81.54 percent when using the online database.

Here's more detailed article on the test:

Ways of the gold


Believe it or not, many investors back away from investing in gold even if the know about ever increasing gold value. With the falling dollar value, the gold value has to rise making gold the perfect thing to invest in.

There are many ways one can invest in gold.

  • The first, and the easiest way that comes to mind is the ancient way of owning it. Buying American Eagles, Canadian Maples and equivalents is the way to go.
  • Buying gold through services like E- Bullion might be just another way to go.
  • Gold mutual finding is another viable option. It is basically buying stocks for companies like Newmont Mining or Barrick Gold that have assets in gold, or are into gold mining.
  • Owning parts of gold mines with junior gold stocks. Although this method has potential for huge returns. It is also risky.
  • ETF of Gold Exchange Traded Fund is probably the safest bet when it comes to investing in gold. These are mutual funds that own bullion itself and gets traded in a stock exchange. Streetracks Gold Trust and iShares COMEX Gold Trust are the two major players in that block.

Evidently, Nixon has laid the path to USD’s demise by removing the gold standard. I will not wait around for total depreciation of dollar value. I am going for some gold in my investment portfolio as soon as possible.
