Investment in a lone note

Londoner27net

Hello everyone ,

I m considering investment options and came across an opportunity to invest in a loan note for Terra Firma Energy

My understanding its unsecure loan , but the company is well known .

I d like to know :

1- If you know people got success with their investment and got paid as agreed

2-Your opinion

3-What steps would you take if you were to invest with them ?

1- If you know people got success with their investment and got paid as agreed

They are only as good until they fail.  Without a good understanding of the company, you won't know in advance.

Broadly speaking, the interest rate offered as a guide to the risk.  If its higher than bank lending then the banks are concerned enough not to lend the money.  Its a lot higher than its riskier.

3-What steps would you take if you were to invest with them ?

I wouldn't.   I wouldn't use unregulated investments in a single area with 100% loss potential.  That is too high risk for me.

Investors in London Capital & Finance got paid. Until they didn't and it was found it was a ponzi scheme from the start. Why are you attracted to this rather than mainstream investments?

Over the years lots and lots of well known companies have gone bust.

It looks like they are progressing , as there are several reports covering that, including Yahoo news and more . It's a good sector, and energy won't go back cheap as used to be before . This is what attracted me to it in addition of course to interest rate they pay .
