HLF Massive Breakdown under $35 imo. Might see an Avalanche more of selling here!

$35 Support is from the old days of Ackman vs Icahn...

Its crashing April 2020 they will collapse

$HLF I see now what is happening...

Wow! China really hit them hard!

I added a ton more puts this morning. Something Big is Obviously coming!

Clearly something is happening here. It might be these liver failure cases weighing on the stock? maybe Icahn Unloading and I'm sure Trade War fears would not help this situation either.

Regardless this POS is back in Free Fall! Ackman should jump back on board lol!

The Herbalife Ltd (NYSE:HLF) Chart Indicates Downside

Herbalife Ltd (NYSE:HLF) is a leading global nutrition company. Recently, the stock has tried to recapture its 50-day moving average but has failed on multiple attempts over the past month. When a stock trades below a key moving average it will generally be viewed as a negative in the chart. Today, HLF stock is trading around the $68.00 level which is just above the important 200-day moving average at $67.45. A failure to hold this key area will indicate further weakness in the equity and a potential decline down into the $61.00 level. The $61.00 area is where there should be solid institutional support. This level is where the stock was supported in August 2017. Often, prior support levels will be defended when retested.

I agree though. I have a small short position from a while ago. Will be borrowing more soon .

Up %11

This scam company is still going, gees.. matter of time now, lets see the numbers, theyre probably faking those too. Probably being sustained by out of U.S.A. areas using same scam tactics. Panic time now share buybacks happening now to keep price up. Its coming slowly but failure will come to HLF

Buy high n sell low strategy. Perhaps a select few are trying to use bond holders money to let go of their shares, financial shenanigans. These guys should go to jail.

This is HLF stepping up the buyback plan (which they already implemented) as a way buy more time. The company is clearly panicking

Herbalife Slides After Outlook Renews Fears About FTC Accord

By Nick Turner


Bill Ackman has waged battle against Herbalife since 2012

Herbalife Ltd. declined as much as 5.3 percent in late trading after delivering a disappointing forecast, renewing concerns that a settlement with regulators will hamper its growth.

The nutrition company said on Tuesday that it doesn’t expect sales to grow in the current quarter. Earnings also will be lower than analysts had estimated.

Investors have been closing watching Herbalife’s results in the wake of last year’s agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, which forced the company to revamp its U.S. operations and pay $200 million to refund distributors.



The tepid outlook sent Herbalife shares as low as $63 in extended trading. The stock had been up 38 percent this year through Tuesday’s close.

The FTC embarked on its investigation after investor Bill Ackman publicly bet $1 billion against the company’s stock more than four years ago and accused it of being an illegal pyramid scheme. Herbalife, based in Los Angeles, has repeatedly denied Ackman’s allegations.

The FTC settlement obligated Herbalife to start showing that the majority of its U.S. revenue is generated by consumers. Ackman has said that the company’s sales are mostly fueled by Herbalife distributors trying to reach income payouts -- not legitimate demand for its weight-loss shakes and energy drinks.

Herbalife expects third-quarter sales to range from flat to down as much as 5 percent. Earnings will be 65 cents to 85 cents a share, excluding some items. Analysts estimated $1.20 a share.

Icahn is letting his ego get the better of him, sad. He should be named after a cognitive bias, and will be profiled in behavioral economic textbooks.

I'm a bear but let's be real. 1.3 bil left in buyback, Icahn, and a bunch of tricks. It's not going down to single digit any time soon.

Short of the decade award. Sales n cash flow down, yet profit up. Can u say financial shenanigans. These guys will end up in jail. I wonder if we will see a 20% slide tmrw. Icahn has been quiet.

What an overvalued company

Yea I meant this will fall below 35 by 2018 not a 50% collapse in a month lol but Christmas would be even better. The options are so cheap might as well take a gamble...

Guidance has been cut in half as the "you're a pyramid scheme, but as long as you comply now, we won't call you a pyramid scheme" decision last year takes place...This thing is below $20 by Christmas!

Head of China operations missing???

The COLLAPSE IS HERE!!!

Bill Ackman's latest short thesis

Great summary of Bill Ackman's letter

Herbalife Short

Despite weak performance in Q1, share price has appreciated by more than 50% YTD
Due in part to HLF’s misleading portrayal of its first quarter operating performance and the company’s share repurchase program
Reported flat y-o-y constant-currency sales growth across the business
Growth in some markets (Mexico, EMEA, and China) was offset by substantial declines in others (South & Central America, North America, and Asia Pacific)
Reported significant persistent declines in South Korea, Brazil, and UK
Dramatic “pop” and “drop” reflected in HLF’s individual markets are highly characteristic of pyramid schemes, which achieved accelerated growth until a market reaches saturation, after which there is a dramatic decline in volumes as participants recognize that being a distributor is a money-losing proposition
While bullish investors have suggested that the company’s recent results show that it can manage effectively through the requirements of the FTC settlement, North American performance in the quarter does not yet reflect the impact of FTC permanent injunction
China at 20% of sales is HLF’s second largest segment after North America – while China realized 17% volume growth in Q1, management noted that there was a significant pull-forward in volume ahead of a 5% price increase in April
10-Q included significant notable changes to risk disclosures with respect to China
“Uncertainties relating to interpretation and enforcement of legislation in China governing direct selling and anti-pyramiding”
Would not be surprised to learn that HLF is under investigation by Chinese authorities, particularly in light of the recently announced Foreign Corrupt Practices investigation of HLF’s China operations by the Department of Justice and the SEC
Believe the injunctive relief imposed by the FTC is likely to weigh significantly on HLF’s financial performance in the coming quarters
Coupled with decelerating growth and substantial deterioration in many international markets, expect earnings to decline on an operational basis in 2017
Despite above issues, now trading at 17x the midpoint of management’s adjusted guidance
Currently trading at highest P/E ratio in its history as a result of recent stock price increase and its declining earnings

I call bs on that. I've followed him for a while. He's nobody. His twitter followers were bought. Easy to find that info out. And given his call on stocks he is all over the place and totally off. He rallied everyone to short stocks to .0001 and never did. Actions speak louder than his idiotic posts.
Sounds like he's got you smitten though.

You obviously don't know him or what he's capable of . He's a low-key investment banker from Zurich.

He's a lot bigger than you think.

You're kidding right. He's an idiot scammer. Do your research.

LOL BMM is a multi millionaire. Bill Ackmann wants his help in shorting $HLF

He's a broke ass clown. Ain't doin shit

BMM is going to short this pig to $.0001

I should have included in my yesterday's email that I'm currently short. But, am I confident going into earnings this afternoon? Nope. And, I've also asked myself if I'd be confident if I were long. Nope.

All I can say is that this stock/company is a headscratcher. I don't think you can be complacent going long or short. And, I think Bill Ackerman and Carl Ichan, despite their boasting, feel the same.

Yea these cashflow models imply Herbalife $HLF has 10% upside before earnings Thursday: Analysis

During the past couple of years, I've shorted HLF two or three times with little success. Even when bad news is released, the stock seems to motor upwards. I have my own theories regarding the reason, but that's another story!

But, eventually either the overall market goes down or there's some really bad HLF news and the price drops quickly. Those are the times I seem to break even on my shorts. But, other than those quick drops, the PPS has remained remarkably strong.

My prediction? We could go as high as 75 or it could drop as low as 40 during 2017. Yeah, I know it's not much of a prediction! It's the nature of the stock.

Lets say guidance disappoints with new regulations in place.

Do we see a 20% drop Friday?

Multiple valuation analyses show Herbalife is highly undervalued... Valuation

HLF new Report paints a money laundering picture. I'm in some puts, it's a very interesting read!
