My perfect HYIP world would be one where there is no greed, and program admins were expert traders of forex, stocks, etc. They'd run programs that were completely transparent and take a 10% commission for themselves. This really is possible to do if one of these admins would just get with it and stop being so greedy. Good forex trading strategies could easily gain a solid 10% monthy. Thats 120% yearly return, and thats a sure heck of a lot better that the 3% your bank is giving you. Maybe a group of members could combine together to make a program like this? Is this possible?

It's been done. But the majority of doubt keeps it from gaining popularity among the community.

Besides, there's plenty of greed on the 'investor' side as well. Scammers will never run out of a ready supply of willing sheep, eyes filled with dollar signs, that they can shear at will.

Whenever I see comments like "This admin is really honest" or "They pay 15% per day... I'm compounding!!" I just have to roll my eyes and sigh....

I agree with all of you guys. Sure, it is possible to form a real hyip and there are some of them. The problem is that the scams are many times more and one does not know whome to believe

LOL! When compounding is an option, count me out. Why? Because there is a limit to how much revenue any program can generate to support member payouts.

True... compounding does seem to limit the life-span of programs...

Compounding is just a form of reinvesting. I don't think it should be considered bad by itself. Even your bank compounds your money

Well, you do have a point there... I guess the real risk of compounding is to the investor - it keeps one's money at risk longer...

all program have compounding either manually or automated, but I think Rog is more pointing toward forced compounding such as with PIPS, and/or with daily compounding ?
