In actual finance, of course, the higher the yield is, of course, the riskier the investment is, so when someone guarantees a high yield on something it's a contridiction in terms. When I see HYIP in text, I swap pyramid-scheme, and get no visible loss of data... High Yield, is cribbed from, of course, so-called junk-bonds, euphemistically called, in formal finance circles, high-yield bonds. The fact that most junk bonds had proportionately higher total investment returns and interest rates because government prudent man regulations forbid their purchase by pension funds and other institutions -- rather than the dictates of actual financial theory -- further compounded their eventual fall from grace when said regulations were revised when some people made too much money, only compounds the mythos of the High Yield Investment Plan.

Woops. I seem to have double-compounded that paragraph, thus giving it a, um, higher compound yield, than it really should have had... ducking, RAH -- - R. A.

Lil Abner wasn't something I had available in my childhood regretably. Moriarty Look Seagoon, here is a photograph of a pound note! Ned Seagoon What Wealth! Moriarty Yes, and theres more photographs where that came from! I mean, short of locking them in a rubber room, what can be done with the HYIP/MLM perpetual victims? I've spoken to quite a few, both via the internet and in person, and most don't seem to be noticeably mentally retarded (or whatever the politically correct term for it is these days). I suspect there is a part of their brain which deals with financial matters which is deficient. My solution would be to not let them have any money, or alternately run a 'pretend' currency. Something like E-gold but where anyone who cared to sign up could get 1,000,000 points a week, to 'invest' or gamble as they saw fit, with some nebulously worded formula that promised them a return on their investment at some future date. (Most of those 'earn cash to read email' and similar unlikly proposals ultimately come down to this, with the only way to see any actual money dependant on their IPO reaching a certain level if it happens at all. i mean, I won 1,000 points at Treeloot.com and I couldn't even get the stuffed monkey because the link wouldn't work!).
