Why Has It Been So Long Since The Last Issue?
This is where I should enter some stunning revelation about all the manic activities I've been involved in that have taken me away from writing my newsletter.

The fact is though that I haven't got any exciting stories to share about why I have been so distracted.
I've just been taking things a little easy whilst creating my plan for the next stage in the Profit Magnets journey whilst amusing myself with new discoveries.

The Christmas holiday sort of expanded into the Easter holiday and I suddenly looked around horrified at how fast 3 whole months had drifted by.

That isn't to say I've been idle. Far from it. I have discovered a mass of new ways to lose money along with quite a few good ways to make some and, fortunately and overall, I am ahead of the curve and in profit even with some that have crashed and burned.

I have been busy exploring a whole bunch of new things so as to learn as much as I can about them and, along the way, discover why this decade is spawning a whole bunch of opportunites that would never have worked a few years ago.

The reason they work now and would not have worked back then is all to do with the exponential growth of the Internet of course, but that isn't the biggest reason. The biggest reason is that now, more than ever in the past, so many people really do believe that you can acquire something for nothing on a long-term basis.

This period in time really is the era of the something for nothing movement and many cynical people and organisations are perpetuating that movement. Is it any wonder why so mnay innocent people get hurt along the way. 

I can honestly say that what I have mostly discovered is a total minefield of shiny object business models designed to entrap and deprive people of their cash. The temptation to jump in can sometimes be overwhelming.

The best example of this would be the "rev-share" model. There are literally hundreds of online businesses - spawning daily it seems - designed to attract people to spend time simply clicking ads online. The idea (and the supposed upside) is that the ad-clicking produces a daily income that can be withdrawn or re-invested. 

The downside is that you have to pay to buy the right to so click these ads in most cases (although some appear to be very small payments to get in). People are further incentivised with the promise of vast fortunes if they are prepared to recruit others to the scheme. It seems very clear to me that all of them will, over time, collapse.

There is massive encouragement to re-invest what you earn so that your earnings are increasing more rapidly and, of course, in this way, the organisation offering the scheme very effectively puts off the need to pay out for as long as possible.

They will collapse because no advertiser in his/her right mind will continue to pay for advertising that simply produces click after click after click with no follow on leading to sales. It is no suprise to see that most advertisers who produce the ads that the members click on are also advertising their own version of the same type of programme!

I looked to see what all the fuss was about and I looked at quite a few. I even put some money into two of them to see how they really worked. Bottom line, right now, I remain convinced that they are all, without exception, a mugs game. In both real money cases I have theoretically made money but as I have yet to pull any of it out maybe I haven't after all. 

One of them, interestingly, has suddenly massively dropped the amount earned from clicking ads just these last few days. I bet that one is going out of business! There are too many such schemes to name and I have no actual evidence of any of them being scams but if I were you I would avoid anything that appears to be offering money to you in exchange for clicking advertisements.

Yes, there will be big earners from these schemes but only people who can either throw masses of money at them that is quickly returned as income or (most likely) those that can attract a mass of followers straight in behind them.

My view on "rev-share" is stay well away if you do come across them. I can't say for sure that they are all "bent" but the model can't possibly work in the long run. Even though there are schemes out there that have already been running (or so we are told) for 2, 3 or even 4 years it seems.

There is a school of thought that suggests that a game can be played with those businesses that, for the brave, can be very lucrative. It is a game based upon a fast in and fast out mentality and a splatter gun approach to how many you get involved in. A game not recommended to any but the very brave. 

As with all things though, the research into new business models uncovers the odd gem along the way. Just so we're clear though. I am not going to be talking about any of them by name - well, certainly not yet. I have much research yet to do. None of those "shiny object businesses" involve rev share though.

There is one I would like to talk about but I still will not do so. 

I want to talk about it because I put in €200 back in August 2015 and it is now showing me a worth of €773.93 in my account. If it goes the whole year and is still showing profit I may talk a little about it but I need an awful lot of evidence and persuassion now before I give any new model, "shiny business" opportunity the thumbs up.

Other notable business models include automated poker machine businesses (a high profile one of those just went bust) the binary matrix businesses and, of course, a plethora of gambling/betting related schemes.

The biggest con of all is probably still the bookmaker industry but that's a contentious issue for another day. I am getting bitter and twisted in my old age it seems...

What's Been Good To Me?
Well, I have to say that the best thing for me has been P.I.E. (it stands for Profitable Investment Education). Now I, like everyone else who has been on the P.I.E. course, have signed a non-disclosure agreement. This means that I cannot tell you how P.I.E. works in any detail.

I must also be careful about appearing to be recommending investment schemes, plans, portfolio's etc. because I am not. I am however, recommending the P.I.E. course because that is the best use of money I can currently think of.

Nothing works for everyone. P.I.E. is going to be beyond the reach of some. But work it does and my confidence in it grows daily. What I can tell you is that the P.I.E. method as taught operates in the financial trading arena and I can also state categorically, that it makes absolutely no difference if you have or have not got any experience in this field. In fact, I think no experience in this field is actually an advantage.

I would go on to say that applying the P.I.E. method to my money is probably the best investment I could ever make with my available capital. In fact, I am about to cash in one of my pension funds to add to my P.I.E. pot. It's a no-brainer for me because that particular fund in 8 years time (if I am lucky) will give me £1,200 per annum from a pension annuity fund of around £40,000 and I can make twice that per annum on £10,000 invested in P.I.E. right now without breaking a sweat!

Even in my smallest P.I.E. account I have made £100 on a fund of £1,500 in 5 weeks. More about that shortly.

Now everyone who gets to use P.I.E. needs to buy/attend the course and then will need funds in addition to trade P.I.E. with but they can start the process of putting funds into the method at some point later. P.I.E. (the method) isn't going anywhere and will not suddenly stop working. The course however could cease to be offered at any time. 

The course is not cheap but then again, why should it be? This very safe method of trading produces income for life and not only for you but for your partners and children. You are allowed under the agreement to share P.I.E. with your immediate family. So you and your immediate family can have a lifetime of income and capital growth with P.I.E. 

I have been trading both types of account systems that you can use with P.I.E. and I particularly wanted to be able to report back on what I consider to be the easy way in to using the P.I.E. formula through the use of a spread betting account instead of a direct access market based broker account. Both methods will return somewhere between (in my opinion) 1.5% and 3% per month on money put into play.

Using P.I.E. in a spread betting account does have two major distinct advantages:

1) It allows you to do P.I.E for small sums of money. Technically even as little as a few hundred pounds. I have set my spread betting account up to tade this with £1,500. I think £1,000 is definitely a reasonable and sensible figure to use if you can but £500 will get you going.

2) As it is a spread betting account the gains are currently tax-free.

The direct market broker account gains are subject to gains tax and are subject to high minimum trading funds (generally this is a minimum of $10,000 - around £7,000). But they do make the P.I.E. method pretty much risk free and will produce the cash faster than the spread betting equivalent. Again, without over-stepping the mark here and going where I shouldn't, I can't give you the full details.

What I will say is that the trades made with a direct broker account produce the profit (in most instances) as soon as you make the trade. So, you could put money in today and make money today on your first trade. That is all but impossible with the spread betting euqivalent although I can and have made money on a spread betting account trade within a few days.

I was told on the course back in December 2015 that the spresd betting account version of trading the P.I.E. system was the more speculative of the two because you really needed to be very aware of how you used your funds and, more importantly, how much of your fund you were using at any given time.

The reality is that, whilst that statement above is true, I believe that if you keep the amount of fund used for each trade to a very small percentage of your total fund available, then using spread betting accounts for P.I.E. is a breeze. So I am going to show you an image and then I am going to explain it.

In case you cannot see the detail on the image (although you should be able to if you increase the size of magnification on your screen or open the image up or both) it lays out my current transaction history on my IG spread betting account that I set up for P.I.E.

Having started trading through the normal direct market broker variant I figured that there would be a lot of people who would be put off by having to find so much money to open such an account after paying for the course. But perhaps those people would be able to put a smaller fund of money in via the spread betting route.

So I opened a small spread betting account at the end of February and added to it a few days later simply by cashing out some bookie accounts. Frankly, I am finding my tolerance for petty bookmaker account restrictions dwindling daily but that, as they say, is another story.

The point here is that I found £1,500 to put into a spread betting account with the sole intention of testing how effective this reputedly more speculative approach to P.I.E. was and I have been pleasantly suprised. I have not used, it must be said, more than around 12% to 14% of my total account fund so far and plan to never use more than 15% of it.

Just to be totally clear, what that means is that, for every £100 of spread betting account money I hold for the purposes of utilising the P.I.E. method, I will only create trades of up to £15. So £1,000 equals using a maximum of £150 on total trades, £1,500 is £225. For the totally cautious you could even say that 10% could be applied as the maximum. It is enough to still make a good return. As you saw above in the image. £105 profit in 5 weeks. That is real, withdrawable at zero cost and repeatable over and over again.

Why do you need so much money doing nothing? I can't tell you without betraying secrets but let me just say that it is part of why P.I.E. is so safe. Part of why you need not fear for your cash. The course explains all in much detail.

From cashing out my first small trade on 10th March to the latest trade cash out on 13th April I have added £105.30 to my account in 5 weeks. And that included a forced loss I made of -£31.80 on 4th April. Why forced? Well because I wanted to fully understand the mechanics of how a forced loss would work by doing it even though there was no need to. 

In other words, if circumstances pushed me to a position where I needed to force a controlled loss to make absolutely certain that I remained on track for the longer term profit, I knew exactly how to do it in practise rather than in theory. 

I was, as you can see on the very next entry after that loss, able to turn it back very quickly into a profit. How cool is that? And, by the way, there is nothing complicated in that. I took a deliberate loss by closing a position that had not had time to move into profit so I could then take another position to replace it with a faster profit.

Sadly, much of this will not make sense without the detail which I cannot, of course, give you. But I wanted to show you something real, directly from a live account so that you could see that I walk the walk along with talking the talk. 

And here's an offer for you. If you decide to go on a P.I.E. course as a result of my input here or elsewhere and I can confirm that you attended P.I.E. after my recommendation/input, then I will show you exactly how I do it on the spread betting account. That is a very valauable offer indeed.

P.I.E. is better than simply good. P.I.E is a financial life saver. A chance to learn how to use a brilliant method to accumulate real wealth, long term and to learn that from serious experts. There is no gamble with P.I.E. You do it correctly, as taught, and it creates an income for you or capital growth which you simply continue to re-invest over and over.

I may find some shiny object business opportunities in the end that allow me to simply make money with absolute zero effort but, until I do, I'm backing the method that takes only minutes per month to use and has no surprises.

I look at my IG account twice a day. Once in the morning and once at the end of the day. I look to see how my chosen markets are moving and to see if I need take any further action. Ninety nine times out of 100 I then do nothing because my trades are in place and still working towards my profit goal. Sometimes I cash out a trade and make a new one. There is no hassle, no fear, no threat and no nervous moments at all and I love it.

If you can afford to go on the P.I.E. course, please do. You will thank yourself for doing so every day thereafter. It is absolutely brilliant, simple and rewarding.

I hope to do another webinar on it soon but, in the meantime, just complete the registration form by clicking the link below. You can still view my original webinar from late February/early March The form does not commit you to a course (no money is asked for upon completion of the form) but it will alert the guys to your interest so that they can get back to you and talk about the when and the how.


And To The Future...
I will be getting back into good habits with the PM Newsletter now that I have slowed down some and find myself spending less time chasing shiny objects. There are still good things out there to discuss and bring to your attention although I do feel increasingly that there are way too many people promoting and generally making noise in the same old areas.

I started my online life many, many years ago as a creator and promotor of betting systems and whilst I have no intention of giving that up completely I do find it harder and harder to get excited about the normal run of offers you see nowadays.

That said, I am working on a few new things of my own (slowly but surely) and I always keep at least half an eye on what is going on out there. It is my aim to bring the more interesting opportunity to your attention and I hope that includes some real gems for the future.

One final note to those of you that are actively waiting to see what develops over at riskfreebetting.academy - I have had to abort a couple of the plans I had for that site and I am back at the drawing board there as a result but as soon as I decide which way to go I will let you all know.

For the Bitcoin, Crypto Currency brigade among you, Bit-talk.info will, of course, continue into the future. I havent produced an issue of the Bit-talk newsletter for a few weeks because there hasn't really been anything worth saying frankly since the Ethereum mining launch but I will be bringing out edition 25 soon.

Should you wish to catch up on my back issues of Bit-Talk you can find them at:


All the best
