And the answer is yes!!

Most of the Member on this forum know about the incredible increasing of the Gold Spot Price as HEDGE Position because of actually Crude Oil Price and Situation in Nigeria and Irak as also the still ongoing economic problems (Subprime, etc.) in the US following by weaken USD against EURO as also YEN.

Stock Broker and Friend of mine bought on 17th of December a Long (Bull) Position (Leverage Certificate) with 42 x Leverage at 2,00 EURO/Position, 20.000 Position in total, Investment 40,000 EURO

At today he sold the Position at 9,00 EURO/Position and made a Profit of 7,00 EURO/Position x 20,000 Positions in total = 140.000 EUROS Profit in only 17 days of trading time, not included fee payment of Trade Bank and Exchange Board.

Of course Stock Broker is professional and since 1980 in the Business but only his Fee Payment was 5% based on the Profit.

Good to see real live experiences quoted showing that you do not need to dream to make a good profit, it will help to bring the people with the $$$ in their eyes to the real world I hope.

Richard;

Thank you for your comment and feedback.

I really hope that it helps member as visitor to understand that a so called "High Yield Investment" is workable in the real world but only with a "high" risk fact as you have to have to work on the Exchange Boards and this could mean that you are also in dangerous to lose all your investment.

But anyway this was a real sucessfull story. Investor was happy with the result and offered my friend a higher Investment Portfolio and extended the Service Contract for one year more.

Yes sure,
lot of markets with big leverages allow this (forex, options..... )........but the risk is very big as well and should always be stated....with a high leverage you can get huge returns and total losses as well... same : options can get you huge returns ....and total losses... that's why they are often used to hedge other positions and only little amounts only are used in ( mostly ).

fanesper:

I fully agree with your comments.

Open End Leverage Certifications with "Knock out" level are used from Investors to hedge positions with a minimum initial Investment (Leverage fact) but also used to "buy" the rights over shares and therefore participle en the raise or falls of courses. Remember that you can make also profit if Shares are falling with so called "Short" Positions and this makes this Investment Option interesting.

Let's see an example:

Leverage Certification over Shares of "VOLKSWAGEN"

WKN: AA0GC0
ISIN: NL0000831154
Typ: Long

Buy: 3,14 EURO/Position on 9th of July 2007
Sell: 10,69 EURO/Position on 31th of October 2007
+ 240,45%

Initial Investment: 5.000 EURO
Payout on 31th of October: 17.022 EURO

If Investor would buy "real" Shares he would only made 60% Profit in the same time period.

If the "real" Shares would have a "falling" of 60% in the same time period the Investor would lose money.

But and if the Investor would have invest 5.000 EURO in Open end Leverage Certifications "SHORT" Position he would increase his profit up to 200% or more and depended on the Leverage fact.

Of course the Investor or his Advicer have to have to know the market as they speculate with raising or falling courses of Blue Chip or Non Blue Chip Companies, Indices or Comunities.
