Icahn, Herbalife and Greed, Sponsored by the Fed - Forbes

Icahn, Herbalife and Greed, Sponsored by the Fed - Forbes: Are those too just a part of the mirage the Fed has conjured? Is the four-year bull market that has seen stocks more than double since the panic lows another illusion? This bull, like all before it, will eventually bust. But if you’re waiting for a rerun of ‘08 to know that reality has been restored, the bunker could get awfully lonely.

Today ten thousand day traders will pile into Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) because Carl Icahn, celebrated champion of Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), bought a lot of Herbalife shares and declared them cheap. Does anyone care that this is the same Carl Icahn whose hedge fund lost 35% in 2008 while nemesis Bill Ackman was riding his MBIA (NYSE: MBI) short to fame and riches? No, no one does.

So um... Is isagenix a scam?

Might Other Companies Be Liable If Herbalife Is A Pyramid? - Seeking Alpha analyses the question and concludes:

I have formed the legal opinion that there is evidence to suggest Herbalife pays more money to its "distributors" for their recruitment of new "distributors" than it does for their sale of Herbalife products. This would satisfy the definition of a pyramid scheme, making the practice illegal. Herbalife could therefore be prosecuted. Herbalife's own CEO admits that "us calling everyone a distributor confuses people."
