Thread: Things that should make you go "Hmmmm..."

No one said he was deleting accounts...You made that leap on your own. Besides, if you had the kind of "heat" and interlopers that BM has had to contend with, you and your "business" wouldn't have lasted a week...

Lastly, the last thing you do with the 2 year old sitting on the floor of the grocery store throwing a fit is give him what he wants...You've long since passed politeness or courtesy...

This is what happens when you "borrow" money from people and not pay them back like you agreed to. I guess he should have thought about this.

My businesses dont have this trouble because I pay people what I owe them!

Bryan borrowed nothing, you loaned the funds........to make a healthy profit, which are at risk. If you really believe the money is gone, why dont you just leave too??? Nothing more for you here.

Right on Fatman.
High yield = High risk, Invest no more than you can afford to loose, and don't put all your eggs in one basket. Simple rules to follow and if you don't follow them don't complain.
Personaly I feel if PIPS does come back it will be icing on the (pie) cake.

Good call Petunia and Fat Man. I put in $2000 and at the time that was all I could afford. I was 100% aware of the risk in doing so. I believe PIPS will come back, but if it does not it was my decision to pay the money. I will hold no one else accountable except myself.

A lesson we all need to learn:

Holding on to anger is like holding on to a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one who gets burned.

People are tired of hearing this same advice over and over.

It all comes down to this.
Investors do their part by sending money.
If the company doesn't pay like it supposed to no matter what the circumstances, a breach of contract, word and honor has occurred.

Agreed. This is it at the basic level. Investors send money and expext to be paid as agreed. Pure and simple.

Good points....

Bryan is still visible, and indeed promoting a new program.
PIPS is simply being "investigated",
Publicly important enough to have a link on the main page of the BNM site.

I don’t believe those that negative post, actually really believe PIPs is dead and gone... It doesn’t add up they are still here, Otherwise they would have left this site months and months ago, - Maybe they are still here because they have a slight feeling pips will come back. Hmmm

-No program generated so much "good vs evil" arguments as PIPS.
-Bryan is still visible, and indeed promoting a new program.
-The other programs either disappeared by themselves, or got actually shut down by the relevant authorities. PIPS is simply being "investigated", implying it may well come back, and is still considered important enough to have a link on the main page of the BNM site. This also implies it has not gone for good.
-People put a lot more money into PIPS than they put into anything before (or since for that matter).

Just my 2-units worth...

All investments have a dissclaimer and forward looking statement attached.
This is the basic level of investing and includes the advice people get tired of hearing.
My advice is get real and be thankfull PIPS is not dead yet and we might still see some profit.
Welcome to the world of investing.
