Insuranc - get answers on insurance

One thing I love about the Internet is, that you can get fast answer on virtually every topic. So if you want to get more information on insurance, you should visit and bookmark Insuranc. Not only that they provide rapid and knowledgeable advice, at Insurance they deal with real life situations. Even tough the website is rather forum oriented is just what one who need to get certain information on insurance want to get. Simple and fast page with an easy interface to enter questions and get aswers - online.

As I mentioned, the site is new and there is nothing much online yet, but whose, who had answers got the answers. Site is structured by categories, one such example is Flood insurance .Two other categories on site are Homeowner's Insurance and Questions About Insuranc. One would think, that there is a typo in the name, but it is not. As mentioned on website, they removed letter "e" to make getting insurance easier.

Digital photos viewing

Nowadays most of us have a digital camera and in comparison to an old cameras we have several advantages. I personally found the two most most outstanding advantages in capacity and quality.

Quality is nice thing, it means that digital pictures are in better quality than those made with an old camera. And second - capacity means that we can take enormous number of digital pictures. Well, that can be also third advantage which just came up to my mind: you can watch or print digital pictures instantly.

So we have nice (big) and quality pictures ready to be viewed. I rarely use photo printer option, since it is kind of time consuming and you've noticed through my blog posts, that time really counts. So when I am showing my pictures to others, I usually use cable and connect digital camera to the LCD TV. For quick browsing through pictures I prefer to use laptop; it is just faster and more handy, but both options I use frequently.

Viewing digital pictures with those two approaches I really can get best out of the quality part of advantage: a really high definition pictures.

Twittad - another Twitter monetizing service

In extreme situations like this is (speaking about global economic crisis) the one should start looking for an alternative ways how to get money. It is much appreciated if it is not directly connected with direct investing, but rather being paid for doing other things.
There is no doubt that microblogging was buzz this year. Is there any heavy Internet user, who didn't hear about Twitter? I guess not. And there are more possibilities how to get paid from microblogging activities. As f we talk about Twitter, I did published one opportunity in Get paid for Twitting post - but so far I made small income from that service.

From money earning perspective I see even better opportunity in Twittad. At Twittad they've added different concept comparing to what we saw so far. You do sell your background. Twittad is a place, when demand and supply meet. Twitters on one side and advertisers on other. And you, as a Twitters you can set your condition, for how much money and time you offer your background to advertiser. Interesting concept. Not only for publishers, but also for advertisers as you can put your background ad for less than $1 per month.

Get paid for Twitting

After bad experience with classical blog advertising with Ad sense when I Find out why Ad Sense is scam, I am now testing other ways to get paid for posting. Magpie is an ad network for Twitter. Their customers sign up and create campaigns which consist of magpie-tweets (i.e. ads). Twitterers allow Magpie to post magpie-tweets among their tweets and get paid for it.

As long Twitter crew allow such rather unplanned advertising - obviously they were not able to put their world wide short message system on market - everything is fine, and you will be able to get some money out of your twitting. More on Magpie you can find on my feed.

Another service which gives you an opportunity to earn money with Twitter is Twittad. With slightly different concept from Magpie it offer Twitters and advertisers an option to negotiate the price for advertising. And this time you are not paid for messages posted through Twitter as it is the case on Magpie, but for the background of your profile. Nice, and best of all - you can combine both services Magpie and Twittad.

As soon as I get some real money from those two new and very promising services, I'll let you know.

Greens Finance - dirty scammers

Some may noticed that I was not online for couple of weeks. The reason was my business trip I had in Latin America. Most of time I was offline, but I managed to request withdrawal of all money I have in Greens Finance. It has been now 5 days until that and I receive nothing from this HYIP.

Funny thing is that when I am now looking back, this HYIP was certainly noted as scam in my post on this blog: Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out. And yes, I should never ever reinvest in HYIP or any other kind of investing thing when I have at least some doubt about credibility of system, pool, broker or whatever.

But what makes me really angry is, that I received again a PHISHING EMAIL! One day after my withdrawal request I received the following email:

***********Start of copy paste***********

***********End of copy paste************

In attachment there is a HTML file with faked URL, which links you to fake Liberty Reserve site. This is now another (new) way of how to try to get account credentials from naive people. Since you really did request a withdrawal, you may believe that there really was something wrong with your account, and you go and try to restore your account... And give your information to dirty scammers from Greens Finance.

I wasn't get tricked, but some may get. My question is, how would you punish such scammers?

Galleon FX - not scam but bad system

Now it is about to be 10 months since I invested into Forex managed system Galleon FX. Results were really good, far better than I was able to make out of forex manually. So I decided to put minimum investment deposit in there. At beginning it was looking good, but then month after month it went worse and I started to ask my self: Galleon FX - problems, crisis or opportunity?

When looking back, that was a signal to escape with money left. Why? Since Galleon was never able to recover from crisis and in September 2008 they announced: Trading stopped, retooling and options going forward.It is all too late now...

My loss was significant, around 30% of initial deposit left on balance, after withdrawal I expect it will be even lower. Another lesson learned.

So far, on forex, after being almost 2 years in this kind of investment, I can conclude:

1. Manual forex trading - if you don't have time, good information and experience (all of those things), you may get profit just by pure luck. There is no other way.
2. Trading with signal - doesn't work well, because even if you got super great signal with profit, you'll have to pay for it. Final profit is available only when trading with large equity, but I assume if you have large equity you don't play with forex (and also not reading this blog :) ).
3. Let "expert trader" to trade your money - I tried that too. But it all seems there is no expert knowledge which could protect from losses. Beside if it is done by a friend trader, how you will share profit? If it is done by professional, it is called managed forex...
   
4. Managed forex - can be automatic system, which do trades without human control (like Galeon FX), or human controlled. But as you can find, neither was winning combination for me.

You can see Forex is not easy money, as it may seems. I am not saying that there are no traders who make it for living. But if you are new in this, follow my conclusions. It may help you save money.

Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out

After long time of holidays I've checked my accounts yesterday. The best option was Greens Finance , despite I announced it as a scam earlier in on Twitter. Since one investment period was over on GreensFinance, I had profit and initial deposit ready to withdrawal. I requested withdraw and reinvested; up to now, my request was not proceeded yet, but what is most scary - I got a phishing email. My feeling is, that GreensFinance is scam after all, since they are the only one who know, that I made withdrawal request in last hours. Phishing email is very good copy of Liberty Reserve official emails - but link is obvious fake and lead you to phishing site, which is there to take your credentials.

Lesson learned again: DO NEVER CLICK ON URL ADDRESSES FROM EMAILS!!!

This is an email I received couple an hours after my withdrawal request:
