Herbalife as an investment

[777]

Thoughts on investing in HLF as a long-term investment?

Does HLF have a moat or other competitive advantages?

Management?

What would the bear case be?

Ummm... it's a pyramid scheme?

The CEO who stepped down in late 2022 was from Nigeria...

Sometimes stereotypes have a grain of truth in them?

It must be a badly managed company.

It rose from being a penny stock to around 60.
Then it drops from Mar 2021 to around 10.
What did HLF do or did not do?



For it to rise again, it has to make
radical major changes.
If not, Herbalife might become Herbadeath.

Ack Ack was right, except for that timing thing and shooting his mouth off drawing the attention of fellow NYC Far Rockaway High School alum Carl Icahn (though a little before my time).

But NUS and HLF were doing great in China until the crackdown. But now, everything is not doing so well there. Pyramid scheme has problem of generating vapor sales for whatever intentions.
