Once we have already introduced you in the preface, let us introduce EuropeTrade and its concept in detail.
I suppose, that we'd not better start with the information about ROI and plans ??“ this information is given on our site. Our mission is also described there, but I suppose, that this is the main feature of the program and I will repeat it here: Europe Trade presents independent and open-end investing activities for common people from different countries of the world who want to take part in world economic development in order to derive profit for themselves, but for some reasons could not do it earlier. With us, you can gain investments you have never dreamt about.
You have become a head and a parent of the company since the very beginning. What made you establish EuropeTrade?
An old proverb says that one should do something that he can do the best. In the end of 2003 my friend (a successful exchange player, specialized on the Asian stock exchanges) and I, having enough experience and knowledge of investment, decided to establish a specialized company. By March, 2004 we had got into contact with clients, had worked out the system of interaction and had made the first steps. So the end of 2004 may be defined as our date of birth.
Thus, in the end of 2004, in my conscious business life, I just made the next step, which became a logical sequel of the previous. Having lived more than 20 years in New South Wales (I was born in Australia), I graduated in the field of finance and investments.
Later I was fond of law, and got a legal education. Later I occupied a position of a vice-president in a few investment companies in the UK. EuropeTrade, where I??™m working as a CEO, must have become a single possible alternative after all this activity.
Why EuropeTrade Company have chosen one more incarnation - online? Why have you decided to do it ??“ many businessmen consider Internet to be too fresh and dangerous for a successful work?
It is simple. After a definite period of offline work we understood that, as our transactions were basically not on the European trading market, it caused a great loss of our profits in a form of super taxes on these transactions. We could not start working with new clients in London any more as it would cause a substantial increase of the company for processing of everything required, and we knew situations it could lead to, they can be described as a ???nightmare of the manager???.
I mean that the company would grow up so that we could not get more high profits on the transactions due to different delays and blunders. Of course, it occurred to us to start working with not local clients and step by step the idea of creation of our website and presentation of our investing activities all over the world in the accessible and clear form appeared. And this idea was incarnated in June, 2006.
The sphere of high-yield profit can be divided into two parts, called `real-unreal`, `a scam ??“ not a scam` by average users. Aren??™t you afraid that you program will be regarded by investors from this angle of vision?
Of course, there is a risk of being perceived like this, taking into account that our audience consists of those users who have already invested in HYIP, and we maintain close contact with them. But we had a necessity of choice here ??“ either we risk, bringing our offer in this sphere, where the notion of fair play is not used, scam and money-grubbing are spreading around... or we do not enter this market, which would mean an infinite and probably unsuccessful struggle which I mentioned above.
The purposes of our online activity cannot be reached, for instance, by creating an absolutely closed program for a narrow circle of investors. Our purposes cannot be reached by setting a high minimum only etc. We worked out the most appropriate and reasonable variant and focused on their achievement. We are not concerned with suspicions and comparisons ??“ we will be moving forward, proving that we cannot be referred to such category as ???a scam ??“ not a scam??™. We are quite another project.
Anthony, don??™t you think it??™s risky? I mean functioning in this sphere and possible comparison with unsuccessful investment projects.
In general, I agree that this step was risky. Cross wars, `black` PR, DDoS etc are usual for HYIP. This is really dangerous. I mean such marketing wars. Especially because having come to the market, our company gained top positions beside other companies, that have the same essence as our project, as I suppose. This raise was easy to us, we offer and we keep up our promises. But then we felt what HYIP is.
At first these were numerous attacks from the side of an informational resource, which received information from an anonymous source, started to spread it and interpreted it from their point of view. Of course, these false cries calmed down fast, because there was nothing to stick to, and none of `evidences` was real. But a precedent appeared.
And in about a month an absurd negative voting started. In your monitoring, in particular. Maybe, this was a result of our denial to agree to so-called `voters`??™ offers, who threatened us then. Maybe, these were competitors` tricks. Yes, this is how one may receive a stab in the back and see clients turning aside.
But we do not let it go ??“ at first, we never let them get us involved into squabbles, the second, we inform our clients and audience about the real condition, which they can check themselves. We managed to resist and we will resist in future.
You have mentioned an absurd voting and `black` PR. It can be referred to a promotion, which has quite another specificity in this sphere in comparison to real life. How is EuropeTrade promoted, advertised and moved forward?
No, I don??™t agree that there is some specificity here. Internet PR has the same schemes, as the real life has. The only thing needed is to understand how HYIP works and to have contacts. We have hired a person who has been working in HYIP for long, a specialist, for doing it. Now he is a head of a department, specialized in promotion.
We have chosen a non-aggressive and successive promotion strategy. We never use spam and we do not purchase all ads around. Our work is watched by more than 200 monitorings, and most of them have decided to do it independently. We are keeping contacts with users on our forum (), we also move to other forums, try to make up as many interviews as possible. Now we are working on a regular newsletter ??“ it will move informing of our clients to a new level.
What are your priority plans for the present and for the nearest future? Or will you just explore the territory that you have already conquered?
We have never stopped in the development; we constantly discuss different business suggestions and acceptance of various innovations. We constantly update our website and its opportunities, though it can not be seen at a glance, but all possible improvements appear very often. To my mind, at the moment our main aim is to connect e-bullion processing. I shall hold back about the rest, you??™d better visit our website and you will see everything with your eyes.
Anthony, this is a banal question, of course, and you must have answered it multiple times, but we??™d like to know your opinion on market perspective.
A matter of common knowledge, this market is rapidly growing as well as the number of Internet users. Many of world analysts consider the Internet products to be the future of the investment industry. The Internet gives an opportunity to offer its product to such number of people we could hardly imagine in pre-internet time.
We??™d also like to know what you think about our project.
At the moment your project is unique, because it occupies a special niche ??“ an informational sector. A year ago there was no much demand for it, but now the situation is changing, and projects of the same trend appear. But you are the best, so I??™m sure you will succeed.
Thanks for your replies, we understand that you are a very busy person. I??™m sure our readers will appreciate them and find something useful. We wish you success in all of your plans.
Thank you for the possibility to talk to investors from all over the world.
