Is this a sign of the times with the buyout of ING by Capital One?
Check out the story below:

Just to give some background on my interest in ING, they are, by far, the best bank I have ever used–traditional or online. I have been with them since 2006. When I heard Capital One was buying them, I practically cried. ING’s customer service is top notch (I also utilize Sharebuilder, one of their investment products where you can get $50 when you start investing, by the way) and their site is so fluid, it makes transactions and understanding your finances so easy! In addition to that, their app on my Blackberry works flawlessly and, in my experience, always–and I do mean always–in real time. Obviously, I was a very happy customer. Unfortunately, I was looking sideways at ING one I heard about the acquisition by Capital One. I’ve stuck with it for the time being, as I’m thinking it will take at least a year before the takeover is complete, but the story linked above just made me even more uneasy, as one of ING’s checking account featured was that is is an online checking account, which comes with no checks (this is likely way it is called Electric Orange now)!
What do you all thing? After reading the story above, or if you are already an ING or Capital One banking customer, do you see this acquisition as a benefit or are you more than a little nervous about what the future hold for ING and Capital one?

Yes, MBO was down for a while. There was a problem with the WordPress theme I had installed which locked me out of the site altogether. I installed a new theme and things seem to be working well. With that said, here is what you can expect to see in the upcoming weeks:
- A review of ChaCha!
- I recently began working with ChaCha as a freelance guide. I will be presenting a brief review of what being a ChaCha expeditor entails.
- A review of two new HYIP’s I signed up for
- There are two HYIP’s I decided to sign up for which I am fairly pleased with. I will let you know which ones they are and how consistent they have been.
These are just some of the things that you’ll be caught up on in the days and weeks to come for Money Blog Online.com.

About a week ago, I decided to test a new HYIP called Tetra Metals. What drew me to this particular HYIP is the plans they offer and the realistic percentage. Plus, their compounding option is not able to be set at 100%, forcing users consider making a profit as opposed to hocking it all back into their program.
I will admit that I did a smaller test than I susually do with Tetra Metals; however, I was paid and there was no delay between the timeframe I expected to be paid and the timeframe I was paid within.
Tetra Metals offers plans ranging from 1.5% – 2.4% interest. All of Tetra Metals plans are 120 days in length and interest in completed on a 5/2 structure (in other words, interest accrues 5 days per week).
Remember to read up on Tetra Metals, since any HYIP can scam when everyone is watching. HYIP’s are not a game.
