Yacktman Asset Management: Fund's Newest Picks For 2013 [View article]
Interesting report, Yacktman has been holding these for about a year at least now, and he explains his methodology here:
TWST: In today's market environment, how easily are you finding large-cap value opportunities?
Mr. Yacktman: What's unique about today, based on over 40 years of experience, is the difference in forward rates of return is very narrow among various qualities of companies, so we don't see a lot of reason to downgrade quality. The starting point in long-term investing is the long-term U.S. Treasury bond, and that is, in my opinion, overvalued relative to what's out there.
Look at the history of the Federal Reserve in the last 100 years. It started in 1913. The dollar, which was worth 100 cents then, is now worth six cents and on its way to five. So we're going to have inflation, and the Fed has said their goal is 2% inflation.
Well, when you look at the rate of interest you get on long-term Treasuries, there is virtually no real return. When you look at a lot of these high-quality businesses, there's an enormous spread to fixed income, so on a relative basis they are quite cheap. In fact, you get several of these large companies that are in our top 10 holdings where the dividend exceeds the 30-year Treasuries. That hasn’t happened very many times.

Herbalife Strife: Icahn And Ackman Duke It Out [View article]
Researching senior management I found out some interesting history, if you read through the interviews then look up some information surrounding previous jobs of the COO it becomes more interesting. Rexall Sundown designed several business initiatives that seem relevant to Herbalife’s business model including including Turnkey.com as described in this South Florida Business Journal article. http://bit.ly/Xk2LZR
Rexall Sundown was later sold to Royal Numico which 2 ½ years later put it up for sale again as described in this article in the Sun Sentinel. http://bit.ly/WyExNz
Much of the argument surrounding the validity of a negative opinion of Herbalife is centered on whether the Federal Trade Commission will act against the company. A quote from the FTC press release that announced a settlement from Rexall Sundown on their cellulite treatment dietary supplement product “Cellasene” is interesting: “Hundreds of thousands of consumers were misled by the claims for this product,” said Howard Beales, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “This case should alert advertisers to the fact that their chances of getting away with making unsubstantiated claims are slim to none.”
Recently, Mr. Beales has been on the side of the multi-level marketing industry, as discussed in this recent Bloomberg Businessweek article: http://buswk.co/Xk2JRy
The Sunbeam Corporation also has a place in the annals of business approbation. In his book “Mean Business: How I Save Bad Companies and Make Good Companies Great”, Albert Dunlap describes Mr. Goudis as one of his “go to” executives. http://bit.ly/WyEy3S
In March of 1997, “Rich Goudis led the team that went into Nesoho, the small Missouri town where we manufacture our grills.” In April of 1998 left Sunbeam and joined Rexall Sundown, where he reported to the CFO.

I became interested in this because when someone bases their entire argument on an "ad hominem" attack it has been my experience that they have something to hide. So I looked into it and found out some interesting history on the HLF COO: http://bit.ly/VjlCmm
Out Of The Swamp With A 50% Upside By Spring [View article]
More than 100% since the option premium received would be much less than $2.50, currently the January 2.50's of 2014 are about $.45 each. On the other hand, there are options expiring this Friday, which makes for all sorts of fun trading scenarios.
Out Of The Swamp With A 50% Upside By Spring [View article]
Sorry to hear you have a loss, Jack. Here's a strategy I've been mulling -- since there are publicly traded options on this stock and its currently under $2.50, selling long term puts to accumulate a position. Unlike a typical option sales position, there is limited downside to this strategy since the loss is $2.50/share, with unlimited upside.
