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) .

1. Not a company that interests me as an investment. Though call options are tempting.
2. None of their products interest me.
3. The business opportunity does not interest me.
4. I don’t love MLM but I don’t think Herbalife is a scam.
5. 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.
