Monday, May 13, 3:56 PM The 25 most heavily shorted stocks (as a percent of float) in the S&P 1500 as of the end of April are up 6.75% in May, trouncing the S&P's 2.33% gain, according to Bespoke - and this doesn't include Tesla, up 57% with 40% of its float shorted, but not a S&P 1500 member.

Wednesday, May 8, 2:46 PM Shares of direct marketer Blyth (BTH -15%) sink after earnings and revenue fall 65% and 14% Y/Y respectively during Q1. Net sales in the Health & Wellness segment (which was the company's largest contributor to total revenue) drop 24% Y/Y as "Promoter counts" fall markedly and operating profits for ViSalus (the former high-flying nutritional products business) decline to just $6.4M from $24.8M in Q1 2012. Based on this, the company lowers its FY13 EPS outlook to $1.30-$1.45 from previous guidance of $1.70-1.80. (PR) Comment!

Sunday, January 13, 9:00 AM Forget Herbalife. ViSalus is maybe a more impressive legal pyramid scheme and its majority-owner Blyth (BTH) the best value in the MLM sector, writes Akram's Razor. In addition to the more obvious reasons, weighing on the stock has been Blyth's required purchase of the rest of ViSalus, which - with the IPO market closed - the company doesn't have the resources for. That issue looks to have been resolved, and investors should now focus on ViSalus' rocket-like growth and its owner's low valuation. 7 Comments [Healthcare, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, January 9, 4:36 PM News of the SEC's investigation into Herbalife (HLF) weighed on other multi-level marketers going into the close. Shares of skin care firm NuSkin (NUS -3.6%), Usana Health (USNA -1.9%) and Blyth (BTH -1%) all took a turn south after the announcement. HLF will present its case to investors at its meeting tomorrow in New York. (Tune in Tommorow via Webcast) 1 Comment [Healthcare, On the Move]

Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 7:21 PM Blyth (BTH) lowers its FY12 EPS guidance to $2.28 - $2.43 from $2.47 - $2.62, citing seasonality, a difficult global macroeconomic environment and weak overall demand for its discretionary consumer products. Shares -2.7% AH. Comment! [Earnings, Consumer, On the Move]

Monday, October 1, 2012, 4:58 PM Blyth (BTH) +12.5% AH after announcing it has reached a deal to defer the full purchase of its ViSalus subsidiary, in which Blythe owns a 73% stake, until April 2014, and that the purchase price will be based on ViSalus' 2013 EBITDA.
