Default OPRAH Just Bartered her NAME to Make a Fast 75 Million

Thanks Gordon,

Someone at WeightWatchers Convinced OPRAH to invest.

THAT is a sales person I want to meet.

Oprah's name ALONE has more than doubled WeightWatchers Stock Price.

To make Investors BELIEVE she is Serious
Oprah invested 43 million and got 10% of the company.

The article I read said if she s-old her stock today
she would Clear a 75 mil Profit.

BARTER = Value for Value.

OPRAH's Name and Reputation for helping companies
over the years is what did the trick.

==========

Oprah Famously cannot control her weight.
So this is a great match.

One of the PROBLEMS I see is that WeightWatchers has a limited # of Same Tasting Food Choices.

The way they FORCE you to lose weight is by supplying
all of your food.

People Last a year or 2 and then QUIT. Because
they want to eat FOOD that Tastes good again.

HOWEVER.

IF Oprah were to hire several of her PAST
very Talented Personal Chef's to create Low Calorie
and Tasty Food items. (Or just adapt the ones they cooked for Oprah.)

AND a Recipe book.

THEN MAIL all the BackList of Over-weight folks who QUIT
WeightWatchers cuz they got tired of eating the same thing
day after day.

THAT alone would p-ay off the 1 billion in Debt the
company owes.

Just my Opinion.

But I think it IS DO-ABLE.

But IF I were an investor - knowing OPRAH's short attention span.
I'd get in and out within 2 or 3 years.

Thanks,
Glenn
