Craig,

You know that there are thousands of investments on stocks 
markets around the world that return hundreds of percent per year 
to their investors. I am not saying that they do this on a constant 
basis, as their are ups and downs. Many gold stocks will make 10, 
20, 50% in a period of a few months. Many have done 100-200% 
since the last bottom in gold stocks in November 2000. In the high 
teck bubble, returns have been fabulous. Where these stocks all 
scams or Ponzi? 

Now who really knows where and how the operators of the so-
called HYIPs program use the hundreds of kilos of e-gold that they 
received from their members. I am not supporting Ponzi's scheme 
that is for sure. But I don't want to comdemn all so-called high yield 
investment programs either.   

I will condemn every scheme that guarantees and promise a 5%-
20% ROI per month..that is for use. But what if the HYIP make no 
such promise. What if it is a hedge funds that plays the options or 
derivatives games offshore. What if it tells its investors that the 
game is a speculative one and they could loose.

And if such programs exists, then why would e-gold turn them 
down or impose limits on their accounts.

We don't really know who they are (at least I don't). All me know is 
that many e-gold users invest (speculate) in them.
