I know Oprah and viewers have invested in Katrina victims. I don't know if BET's Bob Johnson has domestic investments. But Oprah is investing in a school in South Africa for girls and a school for girls in Israel. But with all the problems in America, why do you think they don't do more for African Americans? Bill Gates does a lot for inner city schools with donations of computers but then he can buy them 30x over. Do they get more tax breaks by investing in foreign countries?

In the next 5 yrs I plan on moving... I'll be 25 with a degree in Business Management and was wondering if I had a good chance at living by or close to a beach in South Carolina? Would the jobs down over there be plentiful?

So my credit card limit is 500 bucks. Bank of America. Let's say I use up 500 bucks in one week, and I pay off my balance right away. Does that mean I will get 500 bucks limit again as soon as I pay the balance off, or do I have to wait for another month for me to get 500 dollar credit limit?

So basically I want to spend 3000 bucks in one month with my credit card even though my credit limit is 500 bucks. I am thinking I can just use it and pay it off right away, and use it and pay it off right away, like that.

But maybe the rule is that i only get 500 bucks credit limit per month.

please help.

I am applying for 3 jobs that I would have a good shot at getting. Not to put the cart before the horse, but what is the proper thing to do if you get a job offer, but you are still waiting to hear on the results of another interview? Is it okay to "think about the offer" and for how long?

Do all brokers sell penny stocks, or is there one or two specific brokers that specialize in Penny Stocks? I have an account at Olde Discount Brokers, but I thought before I ask them, I would pop the question to the world. Many thanks..
