The long and short of it is, that based on information provided in its own press release and based on the law, there is no way whatsoever that Herbalife could have, or did repurchase its shares under a 10b5-1 written trading plan. We welcome any further comments on this matter. ]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:44:59 -0500

Now i won't sit here and speculate as to why they might want to repurchase shares while in possession of information which may or may not be considered negative for the business. But if you use your imagination you may see the light.]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:48:05 -0500

Yes, we are in this to make money.

Are you shocked?

I wouldn't present something to the public that I didn't strongly believe in. This is something that we have spent a LOT of time researching. ]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:42:08 -0500

1. Has Herbalife corporate ever come to inspect your club?
2. What were your startup costs in opening the club?
3. How many daily customers do you have?
4. What are your weekly sales figures? And weekly overhead/expenses?
5. In your opinion why do you believe Herbalife demands for you to block windows and not post signage?
6. Do you think its somewhat strange that Herbalife demands that you deface labels of containers before disposing?]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:00:34 -0500

No reason that Herbalife should not be playing by the same rules as its competitors. ]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:45:39 -0500

I openly admit that we are short, and have been researching and following Herbalife for quite some time now. I am publishing the facts about what we have found, things that I believe the investing public should be aware of. Especially for those that are considering following the lead of big hedge fund managers like Loeb. ]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:44:20 -0500

If you can read spanish, have fun leafing through all of the rules and regulations.

I'm not here saying that Mexico's regulators would clamp down on those violating food or local laws more forcefully than the US, but just note that there are laws in place.

Plus, there have been problems in the past with Nutrition Clubs in Mexico --including clubs that have out-side signage. This does not replace the rules but it does show us that in Mexico, like in the US, Herbalife Nutrition Clubs are hidden from the regulators.]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:39:46 -0500

A distributor pays 7% to Herbalife for the company to package its goods. But the 7% is extremely misleading. No one buys at retail. As pointed out, Herbalife is essentially charging up to 14% (based on the actual purchase price) for Herbalife to box up the goods. Does this seem fair to you?

You seem to be missing the point that that 7% (based on retail) is just for 'packaging and handling'. There is a completely separate shipping charge - which is also based on the retail price.

All that we are trying to point out is that the packaging, shipping and handling revenues for Herbalife seem to be extremely high.

Ackman had a slide in his presentation yesterday, which compared Herbalife's shipping and handling revenues in comparison to Avon. I suggest you go take a look.]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:15:22 -0500
