Maybe it was October Horror Season that possessed me to write about Herbalife again.
The full article is over at Seeking Alpha: Herbalife What Matters
You can easily ignore the company section. Herbalife commenters tend to go emotional crazy in at a head spinning around level. You would have to spend to much time sifting through 200+ comments to find the 10 or so that make any sense.
I am not even going to expand on the article here beyond a brief summation of my opinion of Herbalife ( HLF) .
- Not a company that interests me as an investment. Though call options are tempting.
- None of their products interest me.
- The business opportunity does not interest me.
- I don’t love MLM but I don’t think Herbalife is a scam.
- I don’t believe that the FTC will take any action against the company.
The battle of the hedge fund titans does remind me the the time has come to put a stake through the heart of the carried interest tax loophole.
