i currently only hold SVWPA and MBLHB in hybrids

but with the exception of GNSPA , have previously done very well with hybrids ( most have been redeemed while CAMPA were converted into ordinary CAM )

my current low exposure is due to my view of the risk v. reward equation ( factoring in the possibility of a spike in inflation )

yes...

New to the forum, I came across the following site I² Investments | Modern Alternative Investment Fund and wondering if anyone had any dealings with them?
I did some research on these guys in terms of reviews, most seemed positive minus a few.
They claim they had previously been audited by a company in Melbourne https://iiinvestments.com/pdf/ACFP_FSG_Adviser_Profile.pdf .

I have twice contacted the Melbourne company by facebook...

This is my first appearance in this forum so I hope this is the correct place to put my question. If not, please accept my apologizes in advance and let me know where should I do it.

I would like to know if there are any SERIOUS sites in which real result comparisons of forex/binary options investments are offered. I'm thinking about managed accounts, EAs, trading signals, etc. results with real accounts. I can find tens of sites dedicated to EA comparisons, but many of their...

I've always thought that Bitcoin resembled a bubble.
I wouldn't be surprised if it gets wiped out. Being first to market didn't exactly help Betamax, Atari, or Netscape
