DeJaVu Herbalife 1985

The more I read, the more I see and am reminded about “wolves in sheeps clothing”. And then today, as I’m reading the latest Press Release/Statement to these latest charges and then reading the follow up by this Barry Minkow guy, it’s painfully obvious how this Minkow guy is turning the words around.

And as I’m reading Barry Minkow’s latest, I’m thinking “Why is this guy doing this?’ I’m also thinking about Herbalife in 1985 and how Mark Hughes and only a few hundred distributors knew the charges were only an obsticle, something someone put up to try to take the company down (for what ever reason). For what ever reason I’m having a hard time putting into words what I want to say but what I’m trying to say is that this is the wave, the one of many waves, every company goes through and THIS is the wave that either makes or breaks the distributors and/or the company.

If you read up on this guy, unfortunately, there have been a few good and not so good companies he’s gone after the same as he’s going after Herbalife right now. I say unfortunately because some good companies didn’t fair so well maybe because those who were only IN the company didn’t fair so well either? It’s okay though. The last wave we went through when we lost Mark Hughes was tough, and unfortunately we lost some people we thought had Herbalife IN them but what we gained from the experience was so much more than what we lost, we know now why they say this industry will “train you to become a millionaire”.

There are some who are IN Herbalife, and then there are some who have Herbalife IN them. This kind of wave is when YOU will know where you and others stand. I’ve been through a few of these in one form or another since I started in 1995 and although they hurt a few times and I didn’t understand a few times, knowing now that THIS is actually not a bad thing and is part of the process, it does help to make it through. Why?

Because in the end, it just all works out and when the market sees that Herbalife is a top notch company that can stand up to anything anyone throws at it, others will see that we ARE the company and product of choice.

Oh, by the way, I read this about this guy today which answered my question for me “why is he doing this?”

May 23 NEW YORK (Reuters) -
Barry Minkow, founder of the institute, has $50,000 invested in Herbalife “put” options, betting that the company’s shares will fall.

Minkow, a San Diego pastor who served more than seven years in jail for stock fraud, now works to uncover fraud through the institute. He has a history of criticizing Los Angeles-based Herbalife.

Minkow said in a telephone interview that his bet that the company’s shares will fall was only intended to finance his investigation.

What do you think his motive is? Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing, yea.

Oh, by the way, did you SEE this?
