Problem CAIM - Capital Alternative Investment Management

Local dog catcher LOL - I haven't seen a guy trying to catch me in a large net and throw me in the back of a van full of chihuahuas!

Like a chihuahua, it appears that the so-called legal representative of CAIM (and apparently the same guy making threads for FXIM also) has a bark that is much bigger than his bite.

Here's an interesting snapshot

FX Premium Alpha « FX International Markets ? best FX Brokerage and Managed Forex Accounts

Jan + Feb returns, up almost 8%, this guy must be a superstar....I wonder if an accounting firm has ever done an audit of these 'performance returns?'
Under 'general information' call a U.S. toll free number, however doesn't take U.S. clients....gives one a real warm and fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?

It wouldn't hurt to send a note to the CFTC about that US phone number.

Appears there has been a slight reporting error! FX Premium Alpha (fancy name) now reporting a loss in February from a profit a few weeks back (from above link to the previous performance return) Even the author can't decide what he should report!!

Gerhard, start collecting screenshots every week or two from all of Astron's sites. Then when mysterious changes happen, post the before and after views here.

FXIM released this 'press release' supposedly on March 9
FX International Markets announces February 2014 Trade Metrics
-claiming Feb FX volume was $43 billion, quite an amazing number considering this FXIM only started a few months ago

Here are similar numbers for Monex Japan, a well established brokerage
Forex Volumes Keep Falling at Japan's Monex in February > Forex Razor
-Feb FX volume was $44 billion

So one has to ask the question, how does a relatively new start up FXIM brokerage bucket shop attain such volume numbers in a short time when volumes are down for a large Japanese FX brokerage with thousands of accounts. Perhaps the FXIM press release is 'ficticious?'

Perhaps we're looking at the situation wrong. Maybe Astron's "unrelated" companies are really not trading forex at all. Maybe they are just websites for posting forex fiction.

It appears desperate times calling for desperate measures - now FXIM offering the 'Aquila Delta' (fancy name!) Managed FX investment.
Level of risk (volatility)
Max. real risk 19,44%/Max. possibility drawdown 30% - I am guessing the drawdown might be a bit bigger than 30% (according to the original post of the CAIM thread!) And theres no performance record, guess it hasn't been 'invented' yet!!

I spoke too soon regarding 'invented' performance returns!

Isn't it amazing how a company incorporated last year can have returns from April 2011! LOL
