www.oanda.com is better (for those trying to limit their losses) than www.betonmarkets.com and www.xodds.xom because clients speculate on forex, they are not betting, so the losses are smaller... plus they allow people to spend even just 1 USD. Sure, you don't get 1:1 for investment:return, but you get 1:1 for return:losses if you have bad luck, which is much more important. The problem is that they have more complicated payment choices. I asked if I could pay with egold and they said "We do accept checks from e-gold provided they are in your name and from your Account". That puzzled me! I am not aware of such possiblity, but I didn't insist because at this time I am just asking around. Does anyone know what this "checks from e-gold" means? Personally, I understand *egold investment* only as playing on OANDA, BOM or XOdds. Of course, you have to get involved in the investment, but you can get a moderate 1% per day return that HYIPs "give". As for shares that can be bought with egold, well, I would get better returns from a bank, without the risk that come with "gold" shares. We'll see that in 10 years... :) Robert wrote: "Right now there is a guy who is trying for three days to sell a larger amount of e-gold, but he doesn't know whom to trust and indeed is reluctant to do the spend at -1%" Shouldn't he trust OmniPay for such large amounts?
