re-high risk to potential investors

i sypathise with all the investors that lost their moneys
but all such managed projects most fail, in the sixties my self and close friends we invested in plantation coporation paid our yearly payments for the first 9 years we got reports and so on but after that things got sour we couln t get a word from the trustee when the trees matured we asked when our trees will be cut and sold to a miller,the answer was the particuler area cought fire and the trees burnt so much so nothing could be salvaged , wheir one group of investors visited the actual site and what thy seen it was the regrouth that cought fire. so it tells us its high risk to have others manage your hard worked dollars.you might want to form a syndicate of four people and do your own thing with 25% control,let me know what your views.but the other thing was the person running the scheme was a good doner to both political parties so there was no investigations take place to the colapse,,
so what it tells us its a crook world, invest with risk in mind and how much you can afford to loose..
