2 Jun 2010 - Hit-n-Run and What It Means to You

Hi guys, welcome to another informative post from SafeMoneyInvest!

Today's article looks at the various aspects of hit-n-run, and what effects it brings to the table for both you – the investor—and HYIP admins. A good, well-rounded understanding of the industry not only helps you to have a clearer perspective of the how's and why's, but also permits you to form a comprehensive strategy based on the situation. In many cases, this could mean either you make or lose money.

this is a money game, and a game needs to have players in order to run properly

Hit-n-Run, by definition (from yours truly, lols), means joining the program from the 1^st day, pocket the profit from your initial investment after the investment term matures and moving on to another program without reinvesting back into the program. This often happens with short-term programs, such as ones that pay 10% daily for 12 days or 150 after 10 days. You don’t see as many hit-n-runners joining longer term programs because, for one, the investment term is too long, with some taking over 180 days before you could withdraw your principal.

Therefore, investors who adopt such an investment strategy are called “hit-n-runners”.

I’m sure some of you have questioned why and how do hit-n-runners affect the programs. Well, for you, as an investor, hit-n-runners are taking your money and walking away after a successful foray.

As we are all aware of, this is a money game, and a game needs to have players in order to run properly. When you have a bunch of hit-n-runners hitting on a single program, not only does the program lose a large chunk of its funds, but also losing valuable players to participate in the game. Inevitably, lack of players = lack of funds, which leads to foreclosure – the premature closing of a program.

Why did I say premature? Because I’ve seen a handful of high-quality programs managed by honest and hardworking admins who had opted to shut off their programs in the end as they were paying out more than what they were receiving.

In other words, hit-n-run is causing admins to lose money!

I do agree, however, that if you choose to practice hit-n-run because you are just starting out in this game and you would like to make some quick cash safely. That’s perfectly acceptable and I would agree that it’s the most rational and logical thing to do as a matter of fact. However, as we progress along, and as we slowly build up our investment funds, we need to show support for the sites that have been paying us regularly.

Support means posting payment proofs whenever we get paid, participating in forum discussions and the list goes on! Any form of support, be it via media or word of mouth, will be good publicity for the program. If we want the program to keep paying us, then we have to give back to the program as well because I believe in Karma – the idea of what we do and how we choose to do it will eventually affect us.

In addition, Facebook and Twitter are good avenues to express your support as well.

For admins, hit-n-run is probably one of their worst nightmares. As if trying to recruit new members isn’t hard enough, they get members who make a one-time large investment and leave right after with a fat wallet. That substantially depleted their pool of funds, and that basically leaves nothing in there for the next round. How can a casino run without a single cent left?

The game needs to have funds in there in order to proceed smoothly. Understandably, I guess admins are now catching up with the hit-n-run pattern now. Therefore, they came up with a strategy to scam right before completing first cycle, because then no hit-n-runners would succeed and they would enjoy the most profit as well as they know all too well that no fresh funds would come for the next round.

There are just a few implications of hit-n-run. I hope this post has helped enlighten you on this issue, and that it would help you better choose an investment strategy in the future that would benefit both you as an investor and the industry as a whole.
