I hope my post from yesterday launches several of you on your way to a bigger 2014 payday, especially if it comes from shorting Berkshire's stock.
If you'd love to make 'em pay, (the financial titans responsible for the global financial crisis most of us are still recovering from), but don't have enough dough to play, as I recommended doing yesterday, U2's got another way.
If you want to have some fun making them pay, just by clicking away, you can, but you have to join me by midnight--and that's Eastern Standard time, my friends.
The "Make 'em Pay" fun continues due to U2 's release of their new song "Invisible." Not only is the song available as a free Invisible iTunes download, but it's better than free because every time the song is downloaded before midnight, tonight, Bank of America has promised to give one dollar for each downloaded track to (RED), the organization Bono cofounded in 2006 to help fight AIDS.
In total, the bank is expected to contribute about $8 to $10 million through 11:59 p.m. EST Monday night to (RED)'s charitable recipient, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund provides HIV and AIDS treatment, as well as testing and prevention services, to people in the world's poorest countries. (RED) estimated that it would be able to raise up to $10 million from its partnership with Bank of America.
"We're taking all the energy around the Super Bowl and interest in what U2's doing and flipping it into the fight against HIV AIDS," Bono told USA Today recently. He also said that the track, which, according to Rolling Stone Magazine "Bursts with optimism as Bono sings about unity in a relationship," is "sort of a sneak preview – to remind people we exist."
Way to go, Bono and Brian Moynihan, (CEO of Bank of America who took over the reigns after his financial crisis predecessor stepped down).
Not only do I applaud the move, on many levels, but I get to feature two of my favorite Irishmen in the same blog post!
Ciao for Now,
Sera Macintosh
