    This is a documentary has a very limited audience ( traders and HLF distributers) and is most likely financed by Ackman thus it won't be a big hit and will be released on YouTube sooner than you think.

    Since this thread started, me being the Jr Peter Lynch that I am... I have been asking all of my domesticated (poor saps) contacts if there are any Herbalife products in their home or do they know anybody that buys the stuff. Not one single "yes". And some of these birds buy frigging anything and everything for health and diet. Granted its a very small sample, but it usually works if you know who to ask.
    Ackman's target... $0

  4. I knew several fanatical hebalife heads back in the early 1990's. I attended a few meetings and house parties--- there is no question the emphasis is on recruiting and selling product to distributors hence its a pyramid scheme. Some of these poor souls had garages full of product as they kept buying to earn more credit with the company.

    Remember, no one really wants to sell these products and no one will buy without the lure of being a distributor.

    I am very proud of Bill Ackman's stance and trade.

  5. Bah, why hang your pirating IP address out on the internet for all to see? I'm sure you can find it on Kodi if you have a FireStick.

    I edited it. ;)
    True pirates already know anyway.
    I heard the UK is cracking down on the Kodi boxes.
    Like they don't have anything bigger to worry about.

    Ya know... I was just starting to do a little fundy analysis on this puppy....
    Their mailing address is a PO Box in Cayman.
    I mean... that wouldn't be the first thing I'd want to see if I was gonna invest grandma's money.
    More to follow.

    T/A says UP.
    Lotta debt though.
    Price/sales 1.2... cheap.
    Book value sucks.
    One thing I wanna see is revenue growth . My favorite. Its not there.
    EPS means nothing going forward.
    I think revenue is going to tank.
    But who cares right? T/A says the sky's the limit here.
    Story stocks have an amazing way of being just that... story stocks.
    That is until the market corrects.
    Ackman's right. Entry and ones personal liquidity is the wild-card though.... IE, I can't play.

    My prediction is they all will make money. Icahn (like his AAPL stake) and Loeb will make theirs first, then riding off into the sunset with their profits after they pump up the Herbal Life stocks. Maybe Ackman will have his last laugh when Herbal Life stocks tank but Icahn and Loeb probably don't care by then. Who gets hurt? The small mom and pop investors like some of us.:banghead:

    When Ichan first came on the scene in regards to HLF he created a lot of volatility then Loeb came aboard and added to Ichan's hand. Volatility is what traders live for, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
