I "closed the risk window" after about three months by
taking out my original capital plus a modest profit. So I
effectively bear no risk. I'm "playing with the bank's
money." (The $664,000 isn't completely mine, because
the rules of the game are such that only relatively small
portions of it can be withdrawn from time to time.)

I presume you're talking about per annum returns. I've
been "spoilt" by programs like StockGeneration to
the point that I've become so greedy that I don't
consider anything with a return of less than 10% per
month!

My original analysis, 13 months ago, indicated
sustainability. My subsequent experiences have
bolstered my evaluation. SG is a very well designed
game with some special rules that enable the principals
to keep the game going. They can also change the
rules whenever they like. The current maximum deposit
is $30,000.

On the contrary, having recovered my original capital
plus hefty profits, I bear no risk whatsoever. Based on
my initial capital of $6,000, this year I'll most likely
average $20,000 per month in cash taken out, i.e.,
over 300% per month!

Gary Player was once told, "Lucky shot!" when he holed
out from a bunker. He replied, "And the more I practice,
the luckier I get!" During the past seven years, my ability
to identify games like SG and win at the has improved a
great deal. I'm also "very lucky" with several other programs!
SG is different in that they have some very sophisticated
longevity-enhancing rules and formulas, and they utilize
some of their capital for earnings that help pay the high
returns.

You probably operate in a certain culture of "financial correctness."
I think the risk of my going to jail for promoting SG is miniscule,
particularly considering the complete legality of the game and the
