Tupperware a Strong Buy Recommendation

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

From Blogging Stocks:

I guess Wall Street over did it a little bit, on the downside, with Tupperware earlier this year, driving shares down to about $11 in March. I caught the TUP train at $23.48 on April 28, 2009.

TUP is now at $38.10, good for a smooth 60% gain. And Tupperware's growth story remains intact: Tupperware will benefit from the U.S. 'frugal consumer' trend toward many, many more leftovers and fewer meals out. Hence, I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE: TUP).
Further, TUP's decision to acquire a beauty/personal care products business from Sara Lee, concentrated primarily in Latin America and Asia Pacific, also was a good one: margins for these two lines are expected to exceed TUP's corporate average.

Tupperware Banned on Missouri Rivers

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

Just when I was about to take a vacation boating down a Missouri river with my Tupperware collection!

From OzarkFirst:

(Jefferson City, MO) -- You may want to rethink taking Tupperware along with you on Missouri's rivers.  That's at least for the time being.
   
The Associated Press says state lawmakers have banned it, but not on purpose.  They apparently meant to vote on outlawing Styrofoam, but confused their plastics.
   
The problem came up because Styrofoam is a brand name, so lawmakers tried to name the plastic used to make foam coolers.  Now having Tupperware on a river can land you in jail for a year.
   
No word about a repeal of that law.

iJango Scam a Recipe to Lose Your Money, El Paso BBB Warns

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

I wonder why the iJango hucksters don't allow media in their meetings. Could it be they don't want their elaborate scam revealed?

From KFOX:

EL PASO, Texas -- The Better Business Bureau said a company named iJango is recruiting in El Paso, and its operations may be a scam.The Austin-based company held a meeting at the Embassy Suites in El Paso Thursday.

A KFOX crew stopped by but was told the media was not allowed inside.

Better Business Bureau of El Paso president Margaret Perez said that is not the only action that's raising red flags.
"It's a recipe to lose your money," said Perez.

Perez said the BBB suspects iJango is really a pyramid scheme."A pyramid scheme is when the focus is on recruiting more people under you, and that's how you're getting your money," said Perez.

According to a BBB's report, iJango asks consumers to pay an upfront fee of $50 to join, but recommends buying a package for $149.95 with a monthly maintenance fee of $19.95. The report said iJango then claims the consumer will make money by inviting your friends and family to use iJango."Supposedly, you're going to be making commissions from people that go to your portal," said Perez. "And then go from there to shop on the Internet."A promotional video on iJango's Web site makes a tempting offer to make money easily.

The company's Twitter page has more than 1,100 followers. The page said iJango's company chairman would be in El Paso Thursday, and it explains that iJango is "a web portal that allows you to access all your favorite sites from one central location."

The BBB contacted sites like Google, Rhapsody and iTunes that iJango claims to be affiliated with, but those all those companies said they are not.

The BBB has given iJango a "F" rating, which is the lowest possible.

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

From Amway Watch:

Rio de Janeiro was the location for Amway to open it's first "concept" shop in Brazil. The opening was held yesterday, August 18, 2009. The store encompasses 500m2 in the center of Rio. Another "Amway Experience Center" is planned to open in Sao Paulo in November.

The shop symbolises a repositioning of the brand in Brazil, which arrived in the country as a company known for home care products. Amway do Brasil today is focused on health and beauty and has created specialized packaging designed for the Brazilian market.

The choice of location was made with an eye to public traffic and to also attract entrepreneurs and resellers. Besides offering their natural products for health and beauty, the Amway Experience Center also offers trainings to  Amway business owners and consumers. Experts are available to help the consumer chose the most appropriate products for them.

Amway has invested $230million in the Latin American markets, a number it expects to more than double by 2012, with plans to open six more concept stores.

Xango reveals new product - Code Name Formula X51

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

XanGo released to its distributors the first pre-production run of a new product, code-named Formula X51. Just six weeks away, anticipation is building for the official launch of XanGo, LLC's latest innovation: a patent-pending dietary supplement formulated to restore natural, youthful vigor. Decreased stress, improved mood, increased energy and enhanced sleep quality are all key components of vigor.

"This proprietary botanical blend is a complement to XanGo® Juice and a natural, strategic extension of our business. We're proud to take the lead again, just like we did in 2002 when we brought the benefits of mangosteen to the global market with XanGo Juice," said XanGo CEO Robert Conlee.

I hope Formula X51 does better than Formula 51 - the Samuel L. Jackson movie. Man, that was a stinker!

Business Advice For Entrepreneurial Moms

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

This looks like a great even for the work at home mom set. Moms Unite!

From San Diego:

Addressing what they see as a growing number of “moms” seeking help to start, or expand, a business, five San Diego women are organizing the Moms in Business Unite Conference. Set for Sept. 16, the event at USD’s Joan Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice is expected to attract 300 attendees. Randa Cote, a professional event organizing consultant, is chairing the all-day function. Cote says it will differ from other women in business efforts by offering four segments, each with specific training, rather than relying primarily on general networking and/or product sales.

“We are finding that women and moms are going out into the marketplace to start business,” Cote says. Many, she says, are looking to supplement incomes that have been trimmed by the layoff or reduced pay of a spouse.

“The core focus of this conference is educating women and moving businesses forward,” Cote says.

The day-long event includes three recognition components: The Inventor Showcase Award, which will acknowledge 10 women for a product or service they introduced to market no earlier than January 2008; Mompreneur Grant, a cash award (the size will be determined by tickets sold) for a business at least a year old that needs capital to take the next step; and My Man of the Year Award, designed “to honor an extraordinary man that has supported a working mother to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.”

Prepaid Legal Services backs Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson Campaign

By Dan Mitchell, MLM Blog Correspondent

From Tulsaworld:

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma Ethics Commission filings show more than half the early contributions to Attorney General Drew Edmondson's gubernatorial campaign have been from private-practice lawyers and law firms.

Edmondson had received $357,000 from those sources through March 31, the end of the most recent filing period. About $45,000 came from lawyers and employees associated with Ada-based Prepaid Legal Services and about $34,000 was from attorneys and employees of the firm Riggs, Abney, Turpen, Orbison & Lewis.

Edmondson, who opened a campaign account in 2007, has brought in nearly three times as much contributions as the other three announced candidates combined. They didn't open campaign accounts until this year.

Filings show Lt. Gov. Jari Askins and U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin have raised more than $100,000 each, while state Sen. Randy Brogdon has brought in more than $22,000.

The next filing deadline is July 31.
