High Yield Private Investment Scheme Returns a 24-year Annual Average of 41%

The owner of the scheme – a private investor - gives away, free of charge, the complete description of his system, to bona fide private investors only, via http://www.from1privateinvestor2another.com

Nueva Andalucia, Spain - Leonard Berney, a private investor who has been running a high yield investment scheme that he developed himself in 1984, is making available, free of charge, the full description of his system via his new website http://www.from1privateinvestor2another.com. With this information alone, anyone could set up an identical system to Mr Berney’s and operate their own high yield investment scheme.

During 1984, Mr Berney was searching for a way to increase the return on his capital. In January of that year, the London Stock Exchange had launched the Financial Times Stock Exchange FTSE 100 Share Index, usually called "the Footsie". The Footsie Index is a number reflecting the share price of the U.K.'s top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange. In May 1984, the Exchange opened a market in Options on the Footsie.

It seemed to him that it might be possible to make a good return by trading these new Footsie Options so, during 1984, he formulated and tested a Trading System using Footsie Options. He started investing in this system at the beginning of 1985 and has done so ever since. The results have been very profitable.

Over the years from 1985 until March 2009, he has made an average return of 41% a year. Over the last 12 months, in spite of the financial turmoil, he made 54%.

Using the system is not difficult: any private investor could apply it on his own account and achieve the same results as Leonard Berney enjoys. Anyone interested in employing the system for themselves can request a copy of 'How The System Works' and the detailed ‘System Trading Rules’, free of charge, by e-mailing him at ipminc@introsur.net.

"Investors often ask me 'If you have developed such a successful system, why do you give it away free?' My answer is that it makes no difference whatsoever to my personal results if other private investors follow the same system. I have, over many years, made a substantial amount of money following this system and now, having reached a 'certain age', if any other private investor can profit by making use of 'my' system, I am more than happy for him or her to do so," explains Berney.

Leonard Berney is a British private investor and a Traded Options and Futures expert living in southern Spain.
