# Herbalife: One More Time Through the Muck

October 25, 2015 Eric

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.
