Oprah does not disappoint!

She is a smart and savvy businesswoman and I love it!

She probably decided to try Weight Watchers and thought to herself, "If I do it, millions will follow suit, and Weight Watcher stock will go through the roof. I'll be responsible for that increase and I'll get nothing from it except a few lost pounds. But, if I buy a significant amount of stock at the current price, then announce I'm doing the Weight Watchers program, any increases in share price will go straight to my bottom line. Cha-Ching!"


Oprah Winfrey ✔@Oprah
I believe in the @weightwatchers program so much I decided to invest, join the Board, and partner in #wwfamily evolution.


Winfrey bought her shares at $6.79 apiece for a total investment of $43.2 million, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Current share price: $22.91
Do the math.

Bottom line her investment has nearly quadrupled in two months.

Yes, and people who bought it when her acquisition hit the news, have seen the share price double. Good for them, too.

First, as a consumer:

look around your home or car or office... check out names of the companies featured on items you buy, as in items which they manufactured. That's including services you pay for too!

Cable tv or satellite, landlines, cellphones, tablets or whatever you use...if it's a Caucasoid's company that you're paying that money to? Then yes, that's motivation to get the producers of those services/those items to put money in your pocket!

Oprah does not disappoint!
ain't that the truth!!----if you go by new Weight Watchers' commercials which start appearing yesterday.

Yepper.


Inspired by Oprah Winfrey....so of course, the commercial features people doing Weight Watchers' initiatives to improve their Health well-being. The commercials show Black women, Euro-White women, Euro-White men, White Jew couples, White HISP women, White HISP men, White Asian women, White Asian men, but...guess who Oprah strategically left out of those commercials?


Yep. You guessed it.


Black men.









...and considering her post-1995 sick, vile, track record/attitude toward heterosexual Black males;

who's surprised?
