Poll Results: Who Will Take Oprah’s Daytime TV Crown?

When BlackEnterprise.com readers were given the choice between Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks, and Wendy Williams, to replace Oprah Winfrey as queen of daytime television, a majority of respondents to a recent poll chose none of the above.

Free and Low-Cost Resources to Help College Students Stay Afloat

There’s no question that college is one of the most memorable experiences in the transition from teen to adult. It can also be one of the most costly with $200 books, incidentals, and accidentals -- $115 parking ticket, $10 to replace your student ID, $15 for the on-campus comedy show (because after that week of tests and projects you need a reprieve.) Though the costs keep rising, there are a number of free and low-cost resources that can help college students keep a balanced budget.

Former Chicago Urban League President Runs for Senate Seat

Initially, Cheryle R. Jackson was flattered that then President-elect Barack Obama had added her to a list of six individuals who he felt were qualified to replace him in the Senate. But she didn’t seriously consider it at first.

An Action Plan for Black Friday

While the holiday shopping season is in full swing, the “official” kick off is nigh: Nov. 27 to be exact, a.k.a. Black Friday. But with the economy in a slump and unemployment at record numbers, how do we shop smarter for the holidays—if we’re even shopping at all?

The FDIC’s ‘Red’ Menace

A few hours ago, news came across the transom that the government insurance fund that protects consumer bank deposits “slipped into the red,” after some 50 banks collapsed between July and the end of September this year. Such headlines are more than a little disturbing for the average bank account-holder. We all know by now that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is the government entity that guarantees the safety of the money we’ve deposited into its member banks.

Report: Without Healthcare Reform, Plight of the Uninsured Bleak

If health insurance costs are left unchecked, the number of uninsured Americans will increase by 10% in every state in the country and by 30% in more than half the states, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Foreclosures of the Rich and Famous

Since the highly publicized foreclosure woes of Evander Holyfield and Michael Jackson, more celebrities have joined the thousands of homeowners hit by financial strain of a weakened economy.

Taking Advantage of Takeovers

When stocks rise, corporate takeovers usually aren’t far behind. Those takeovers can generate profits for investors–if you happen to own stock in the company being acquired.

Why Buy Retail Stocks?

As investors hunt for bargain stocks with strong growth potential, many are taking a closer look at retail stocks - and for a good reason.

Comment by Ryan (Ifakoya) L. Brown on June 28, 2009 at 1:05pm: Take a serious look at Joint Venture Group as I have already got paid in three weeks and more to come!

The Ability to Create Multiple Income Streams within Several
World Class Companies Without Working Physically in Those
Companies. It's ALL Managed For YOU!

Ask Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet or any of
the world's Top Entrepreneurs what the most important thing is in
creating long term security in any business and the answer you
are likely to hear is... "Build Multiple Streams of Income" or
"Diversification".

This is even more important now in today's economy than ever before.
If you rely on just one company or job to pay for all of your family's

bills and then something happens to that one company or job, you have
nothing to fall back on. It would be crazy to have only one stock
in your portfolio because if it crashes you have no diversification

to spread out your risk

It's NEVER a good idea to have all of your eggs in one basket!

The problem is that trying to manage more than one or two streams

of income is VERY difficult and dilutes your focus on what you are

trying to accomplish and then everything suffers.

The Joint Venture Group is designed specifically to make it much,
MUCH easier for you to create and manage multiple streams of income.

It's an ingenious business design that makes it possible for you to only
promote one simple company and yet you are building income streams
with several world class companies.

Here's the sweet part... As your income streams grow, you start
to receive multiple checks from each company separately.

If there was ever a business built on the philosophy of creating

security and NOT having all of your eggs in one basket.. It is JVG's

innovative one-of-a-kind business model.

You gotta be wondering how this could possibly work? Well, you will
be amazed when you see just how simple JVG makes building multiple
income streams possible.

In a nutshell the entire explanation looks something like this....

JVG Manages Everything For You!

Sounds a little simplified but it's true! There's no doubt that it's a
complex process on the back end, but you don't need to worry about
any of that. All we have to do is focus on building one simple business,

"JVG", and the rest is managed for us. It's truly amazing!

Did I mention that you also get to receive some of the world's best
nutritional products every month without having to reach into your
pocket every month... Oh Yes I did, but it bears repeating because

it is soooooo cool!

There's nothing else like JVG anywhere and when you see how it
works, chances are you will want to be a part of it right now.
Nearly everyone says YES!

My business partner, Frank Metzger has written an excellent
review on the JVG business model and you can find it at:

http://www.JointVentureGroupReview.com

I also encourage you to get on one of our conference calls
as soon as possible. I have included the schedule below at
the bottom of this email.

Learn about JVG and get started today! There is no better time
than today! Chances are you will never find another business model
that offers so much leverage and allows ordinary people to create
powerful multiple streams of income in such a simple way for such a
low cost.

Seriously...you can start a business with JVG that provides multiple
streams of incomes with several world class companies for about what
it costs to take the family out to a nice restaurant and the movies
one time.
