Oprah Wants To Buy The Clippers

[#1 pick]

That's real....so real that it's almost surreal to watch it. But what they do that the majority of our culture doesn't do is invest, taking calculated risk

You really think that's all?

 

[Richard Wright]

Exactly. Each of them could afford the likely price tag on their own.

nikka there isnt shyt larry ellison cant afford

 

[mrken12]

Ok... I really need to marry Oprah

at people still thinking that she's heterosexual.

 

[TheNig]

at people still thinking that she's heterosexual.

You think her and that Gale broad....

 

[mrken12]

You think her and that Gale broad....

Yep. Or if not her some other woman.

Stedman was her beard.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

I was saying Oprah and Tyler Perry should have bought the Hawks a couple of years ago

I was hoping lil jon was gonna buy the thrashers

 

[Schmoove]

Oprah don't like black folks either

 

[gtj1982]

Just heard on the radio Geffen said lebron told he wouldn't play for the clippers because of Sterling






King of kings

Maaaaan, if there was even a remote possibility of that ever happening, that shyt would have shaken professional sports to its core.

I swear some of you dudes always have the wrong perception of certain people with money

I know there's more to it, breh, I'm in the financial services field.

I was in the field. It takes more than the willingness to take calculated risk.

Because they have something the rest of our culture doesnt....disposable income. When you worth 40 BILLION you can take a million and invest it, but when you only pulling in 40 grand a year (which is more than the average yearly salary) you can't invest shyt.

Back to the thread though I agree with the person who said that a nikka gonna get the team, shyt I wouldn't be surprised if Ellison teamed up with a nikka who would hold about a 20-30% stake to make his pitch look even better. You know the NBA wants to put a bow on this with a Black dude standing up there at the end.

Not only that, but the ones who are self-made, they started a company & built it from the ground up. So yeah, they've built it up enough to have disposable income. But pulling in only $40K a year & not being able to invest is false. When I was making that a few years ago & still as able to invest in the market. Granted, it was smaller purchases but I disciplined myself to automatically slide money over to my brokerage account & then invest from there. I got in with Ford when it was trading at like $5 a share, brought Sirius XM for shyts & giggles when it was literally pennies and sold it when it reached past $5/share, rode GeoEye up & down before it was brought out, so on & so forth. You start off small & invest right, you'll get something out of it & then you reinvest.

Scared money don't make no money. Putting it into savings or a CD won't do me no better when wanting to build wealth. Now I'm reinvesting into other assets like real estate....I even see franchising on the horizon.

You in the minority homie. How old are you? How many children do you have? Do you have a car payment? A rent payment or motgage? 95% of people making 40k a year aren't going to be able to "take a chance" with their money.
