Week 50 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World

Welcome to my 50th week with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World.

Earlier this week I traveled to the Highlands of Scotland to visit a family member. As I write this post, I’m still up there, offline, staying in an old fishing village with little to no Internet connection, or mobile data signal.

However, I can get a signal elsewhere and WiFI connectivity elsewhere. I'm sitting in the local Golf Club as I edit this post.

Regardless of where I am, WiFi or not, mobile data or not, my passive incomes are still paying - and they very much include my AGAM investments.


This Weeks’s Results

The Fund Managers over in AGAM did very well this week once again providing us with a very nice return of 5.2952%



All my packages together gave me a payout of €1,377.32 this week.


Entering the figure of 5.2952% into my spreadsheet you can see in the illustration what the first six investment packages paid out.




Questra World Results

A respectable return this week from the Fund Managers also means that others in my team are happy and are taking advantage of the return. Compounding their earnings



When my team is happy - I'm also very happy!


As you can see from the screenshot above, I'm €14,000 away from moving up to Level 4 and earning the QP 2,000 bonus. 

Questra Points can be turned into Euros by sending them over to your Atlantic Global Asset Management account.  



Did you notice the title of this post?


50 Weeks!

This time last year I was busy doing my due diligence and scouring the Internet for information on Questra. Of course, I even used the keyword ‘scam’ during my searches. Every time I found a web page or video that use the word ‘scam’ they did so only to catch search traffic from the likes of Google. Every site I found bar one, had an affiliate link!

They were promoting Questra not slating it!

The one website I did find that was negative towards Questra was questioning whether or not photographs taken at events, and photos of Antonio Rabalo, president of AGAM, and José Manuel Gilabert of Questra World real. I soon decided that the people behind this website were idiots!

Given what I read and seen online, I decided to join. I just needed to get back to the person who first introduced me to Questra World.


Next week I will continue with the rest of my getting started story….



Bitcoin Price Manipulation Confirmed!

Last week I wrote about the price of Bitcoin being manipulated by James Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan. He had a lot of bad things to say about Bitcoin. That, plus some rumours that supposedly come out of China (I wonder if it was one of Jame’s mates helping him manipulate the price), caused a bit of a panic which led to the price of bitcoin dropping quite dramatically.

During that dip, JP Morgan Securities purchased a large quantity of… Bitcoin!

It’s now been confirmed that James Dimon deliberately attempted to manipulate the price of Bitcoin.

However, not only was it an opportunity for JP Morgan Securities to purchase Bitcoin, it was also fantastic time for ANYONE to purchase Bitcoin.

Buy low, sell high I said.

Week 49 With Atlantic Global Asset Management - Crypto Market Manipulation



Welcome to week 49 with AGAM and Questra World.

In this week's blog post I'm going to focus on what may well have been an attempt by major governments and banks to manipulate the price of Bitcoin and a huge number of other popular cryptocurrencies.



But first... this week's results from AGAM.

WEEKLY INCOME OF THE MANAGERS IS 4,45% ON THE OUTCOME FROM 11.09.17 TILL 15.09.17 
The company Atlantic Global Asset Management is pleased to announce of the completion of the current working week. The managers of Atlantic Global Asset Management have once again demonstrated the high level of professionalism, through a series of lucrative deals for the company and its customers by producing the result in the amount of 4,45% of the profit.
This week the Fund Managers in AGAM returned a respectful 4.4512% as shown here from the results with my Black Investment Package.


Entering the figure of 4.4512% into my spreadsheet you can see what the first six investment packages faired this week:


I know that some people may feel a little disappointed to see a figure below 5%. The lowest figure I've seen in the 49 weeks I've been with AGAM was 4.2% back in early May 2017. 4.45% per week is far more than any bank will ever pay you!

Plus this week, I feel there may have been something else at work that may have been influential in a lower than average return...

As you know (or you should know at least, especially if you have an active account with AGAM), on the 22nd August 2017, AGAM announced a change in direction and the formation of a brand new company, Five Winds Asset Managment.

AGAM would be focusing on investments in Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain technologies, FinTech startups, and all things related to Bitcoin and the likes.

Over $1.2 billion in Cryptocurrency was raised through Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”) in the first half of 2017

Initial Coin Offerings

You may not know just how massive a market this is. When a new business looks for funding they would normally go to a someone like a Business Angel who would invest a lump sum into the company in return for a percentage of that company.  This way of funding and investing into companies has been massively disrupted by a type of crowdfunding.




The modern way of gaining funds for business startups is with something called Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) 

ICO are 'tokens' and live on Ethereum's version of Blockchain.

Anyone can purchase 'tokens' in a company with the hope and expectation that as the company does well, the value of the token increases.

The tokens will eventually enter the exchanges and can be traded like any other cryptocurrency. 

I myself have invested in Cloud Tokens

Companies love this style of funding as they do not have to give up a percentage of the company to investors. They are not shares either so no dividends need be paid.


China's Crackdown

Two pieces of news came out of China recently that caused the price of Bitcoin, Altcoins (Alternative coins to Bitcoin, such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc.) and Tokens to take a large tumble!


China banned ICOs.


As well as a great way for legitimate companies to raise money, it's also another way to scam people out of theirs. I can't remember where I read this but apparently, 70% of all ICOs were scams designed to get money out of people. Some countries issued warnings about the high risk and others placed a ban on them altogether!


Following the ICO ban news, a rumor hit the internet - that again caused the price of Bitcoin to drop.

It was said that China would ban access to all Exchanges. "An unverified notice surfaced on the Internet about China moving to block access to all major cryptocurrency exchanges."


Fake News

The next piece of FAKE news came out of a comment by the CEO of Chase Bank, Jamie Dimon - calling Bitcoin 'Fake'.


All this news over the last week was, in my opinion, the reason all the prices dropped... but I also believe that part of this was manipulation of the price - so the banks could buy into Bitcoin at a lower price...

Here's proof they did just that! (Image from a twitter post)


People on twitter letting JP Morgan know that they are being watched. They say bad things about bitcoin on, then go on to purchase a stack of it when the price has dropped! - 'We see you J P Morgan'



Back to AGAM Results


Getting back to AGAM's results this week... with all that's happened, all the fake news and market manipulation, a 4.4512% return on investments, when crypto prices were going down, I think, is impressive!

Well done AGAM!!




Have a wonderful week, and remember when it comes to purchasing currencies or stocks, buy low, sell high!

Week 48 With Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World



This week sees the Fund Managers in AGAM provide a decent return of 5.0428% on everyone's Investment Packages.




WEEKLY INCOME OF THE MANAGERS IS 5,04% ON THE OUTCOME FROM 4.09.17 TILL 8.09.17
The company Atlantic Global Asset Management is pleased to announce of the completion of the current working week. The managers of Atlantic Global Asset Management have once again demonstrated the high level of professionalism, through a series of lucrative deals for the company and its customers by producing the result in the amount of 5,04% of the profit.
We congratulate and thank you for your cooperation!
Best Regards, Atlantic Global Asset Management.

This is what the first six Investment Packages returned this week:



In my personal account, I had a Yellow, Red and Black working for me. This is what they look like now.



Everything has been running great this week. No real issues at all. The only thing that's perhaps caused a bit of a hiccup has been the update and migrations of people's accounts over to the new Five Winds website, which is ONLY for those who live in Europe and the CIS countries.

Everyone else will remain with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World.


Who are you anyway?




It's frustrating as a Sponsor who likes to keep in touch with his team when someone signs up and the only information I have on them is their country!

In the back office of Questra World, I get to see who's signed up - or at least I get to see that someone has signed up, but I don't always see their Name.

Take a look at my last three sign ups:


  • They have not set up a Nickname (the first empty column on the left). A Nickname is handy if you share your link. People see the 'nickname' which gives a clue that they are signing up to the correct sponsor. I use my actual name as my Nickname so people know they have the correct link.
  • For some reason no emails are showing, but that's true with most people in my back office. It may be a Questra world issue.
  • In the last blank column on the right, there are no social links showing. This is the Big One for me! I recommend everyone to put a link to their Facebook profile in their profile settings. This will help me, and all sponsors see exactly who's signed up. That way we can offer help and support! 
  • Without this information, as a sponsor, it's impossible for me to connect with my team - unless they reached out to me first!
I encourage everyone who hasn't done so already to go back to their Profile within their AGAM account and add a link to their Facebook profile within the Social Link section and save the changes.

Growth

I may not have the biggest team in the world, but it's fantastic to see those who are active, growing their accounts and compounding their income!


Nothing warms the heart more for me than knowing that people who have joined me, are also enjoying the journey and growing a great passive income for themselves and their teams too!

Gratitude

Week 47 with Atlantic Global Asset Management and Questra World.

Welcome to Week 47 with Atlantic Global Asset Managment.

This week the Fund Managers returned a very respectable 5.1676% on our investments.


Given the above returns, the image below shows what each of the first 6 investment packages returned.


In my AGAM account I had planned to purchase a new €810 Green Package so I could string together a bunch of Upgrades and end up with a shiny new €7,290 Red Package. 

I was on the brink of purchasing the Green Package when it occurred to me that all I need do was purchase 2 more €270 Yellow Investment Packages at a total cost of €540 to get almost the same result.

I recorded the purchases on video:



Tips On Opening An AGAM Account Without Tears

It's clear that some new people have issues when signing up with AGAM, and trying to rectify mistakes is almost impossible. There's a huge number of hoops to jump through and we have support service that really could do with being a bit more helpful! 

That's the only negative I can find with the company to be honest. When there are no issues, everything works fantastic.

So here are a few tips to help make your journey with AGAM one without tears:

  • Sign Up using your Cell/Mobile number (You will receive your log-in password via SMS).
  • But a home phone number is also good (request your log-in password via email).
  • Write your phone number in International format and include your Country Code.
  • Use the + symbol in your phone number if your Country Code uses one.
  • The UK for example is +44. If in doubt, look your Country Code up.
  • Your Country Code determines your Account Settings. Don't mess this part up!
  • Verify your email address that you signed up with.
  • Do not increase the security of your account unless you're familiar with Google Authenticator, and are happy to use the app.
  • You do not need upload ID (passport and proof of address) to use your account - unless it becomes mandatory in the future.
  • Once you have your email address verified, you can start using your account.
  • If you have any doubt, ask your sponsor for advice!


Happy Compounding!
