Newsletter Archives Bruce's Investment Club - Mar. 2010 Offshore investment in 3rd world countries > Bruce's Investment Club Hi, Gang! Happy Friday!! I've had 2 calls from investors questioning how this program would work, and why we're not involved with Genius Funds. Second question first: We would have to wait 6 months to get the return with GF. I'm NOT confident that we have that long for our (and therefore the World) economy to hold together. I'm also NOT an economist ... just a talk radio listener and Glenn Beck watcher. I want your input here, 'cause it's your money, too. Do YOU think we have another 6+ months of a "rosy" economy with no economic/financial--or Dollar--meltdown? Our Enemy-in-Chief is doing all he can to ram through healthcare "reform" and Cap-and-Tax, either of which will destroy our way of life. (Look, healthcare can be fixed merely by allowing health insurance to be purchased across state lines [it's called COMPETITION] and by instituting tort reform to limit the ungodly financial windfalls from people who break a fingernail. And, now that science is proving that "global warming" isn't happening, Cap-and-Trade is NOT needed ... and wouldn't be needed even IF CO2 were a problem, which it ISN'T. OK, OK, I'll get off my soapbox....) What I want YOU to tell me is whether you want me to risk five Grand in Genius Funds for 6 months or not. Please respond to this email with either "YES GF" or "NO GF" in the subject line, and I'll keep a tally sheet like I did with the "Proceed or Pause" question last time. (There's roughly $40K left in the account Now to the first question: The two callers were wanting to know when they'd receive their payout, based on when they paid in. It doesn't work that way. We stand or fall AS A GROUP. And you'll/we'll be paid as a group. Once all the funds have been invested, we'll wait until they're all "matured" and paid back, then I'll disburse the original investment and the profit (less expenses). We've got about 26 days' worth of investing (if we continue as I've been doing), and then a 40-day wait for each daily investment to mature. THAT's when your money will be returned. Roughly 65 days from the first investment ... or 6 months from when/if Genius Funds is placed, assuming you guys want to proceed with it. As to our expenses: It costs me $50 for each international wire transfer ($5k-$7K transferred at a time) and we're charged 4% by the money transferrer in Hong Kong to move the money to Liberty Reserve, so I can fund PTVPartners. (Whew!) So our "winnings" will be reduced by 5-6% to cover these costs. I hope that clarifies the "program" for you. Feel free to call me with any questions. Now, here's where our investments stand as of today: Please note that the columns may not line up properly in your email program. You may have to do your own spacing to make that happen. Our first return happens March 17 ... less than a couple of weeks away!
