Newsletter Archives Bruce's Investment Club (7) - First Return + A Wrinkle Offshore investment in 3rd world countries > Bruce's Investment Club Hi, Gang! We've earned our first $1,900 from PTV Partners! Next one will be in 4 days. Results of the Genius Funds poll: 29 Yes, 44 No, 8 Your Call. But, "Houston, we have a wrinkle".... My wife and I went to the bank to set up a "sweep account" so we could receive incoming wire transfers for our food business. They said it would take about a half hour for them to see how to set it up, so we left and asked them to call us to come back in to sign the necessary forms. Three hours later they called and told us they could not set it up for us. AND they said they would have to cancel our personal account due to excessive wire transfers out-of-the-country. (No one there told me there was any "wire transfer cap" when I set up my account, so I'm guessing they think I'm laundering money through them. I guess I can expect a visit from the Feds any day now . I love our current country more-and-more by the day.) There's still about $4,000 in our Liberty Reserve account to be transferred to PTVP, so that;s not finished, yet. I've been transferring $2,000 per day to receive a steady income as each day matures. So, I've gotta find an investment for the balance of--roughly--$24,000. My gut tells me "invest in gold" or other precious metal. Or, maybe we should rethink Genius Funds? Or a combination of those? As I told you last email, it's your money, and I'm open to your input on this. The bank told me they were sending me a letter on the account closure. So it will be a few days before I withdraw the funds. Write and let me know your thoughts. In the meantime, here's where we stand with PTVP (you may have to re-space the columns for your browser): Started Mature Status ID Amount Details 18 Mar 2010 02:56 AM 27 Apr 2010 02:56 AM active 32033 $2000 Open 17 Mar 2010 01:00 PM 26 Apr 2010 01:00 PM active 31804 $2000 Open 11 Mar 2010 06:19 AM 20 Apr 2010 06:19 AM active 29691 $2000 Open 10 Mar 2010 06:36 AM 19 Apr 2010 06:36 AM active 29333 $2000 Open 09 Mar 2010 11:42 AM 18 Apr 2010 11:42 AM active 29024 $2000 Open 07 Mar 2010 02:04 AM 16 Apr 2010 02:04 AM active 28299 $2000 Open 06 Mar 2010 03:49 AM 15 Apr 2010 03:49 AM active 28028 $2000 Open 05 Mar 2010 12:43 PM 14 Apr 2010 12:43 PM active 27797 $2000 Open 04 Mar 2010 12:38 PM 13 Apr 2010 12:38 PM active 27436 $2000 Open 02 Mar 2010 09:01 PM 11 Apr 2010 09:01 PM active 26861 $2000 Open 01 Mar 2010 03:04 AM 10 Apr 2010 03:04 AM active 26188 $2000 Open 13 Feb 2010 05:59 AM 25 Mar 2010 05:59 AM active 21710 $1975 Open 09 Feb 2010 07:34 PM 21 Mar 2010 07:34 PM active 20799 $2000 Open 05 Feb 2010 11:28 PM 17 Mar 2010 11:28 PM expired 19918 $2000 Open 'Til next time, stay safe!
