Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain sober. Doesn't matter all these FA, as long as u make money buy low sell high. Problem is how long u have to wait and turnover.

I would look at the options market, management market activities. Also if the killing can go on like this, nobody would dare to buy or sell things. Who dare to go on st ?

Hope tis is like a poker scare lol. I intend to open a position in NUS in next 72 hours.

my holding period for this stock at least 2years unless sth happened to company or general market bah. Still must do FA to know the downside risk especially for a distressed company. Anyway, good thing about shortists are they allow us to buy a company at cheap valuations. Agree with yr concept that markets can remain irrational for longer than we remain solvent though.
killing go on like this that's why after doing homework then can have conviction to buy Mah.

I mean the recent killing, or rather massacre at the train station, not the short seller's killing.

Well but funny, i dunno for sure but yesterday's plunge seems to be real sellers selling, not shortists. In fact yesterday more than half of my portfolio stocks gain >2% (while EU are down2%) because those were shortists stock.

Meaning, if NUS was a shortist at work, yesterday it would hv gained as they btc.

Herbalife now pending investigation by the FTC. Stock went from $68-$56 lol

Ackman's Washington power play paid off

ehh....it's like wtf man.... how come other stocks can increase 20-30% but no volatility circuit breaker. Stupid circuit breaker made everyone think this suffer the same issue as hlf... -_- This one increase 12% to $81 only then kenna the circuit breaker....

See how it fares today i guess. It seems $70 is a strong support level though.

2 possible reasons why it rose so much today:
1) Dividend play (but dividend of 1.2% couldn't account for 6.5% rise)
2) Someone knows about china resolution?

but nus should have gone down if it is due to hlf but it went up on heavy volume instead.

Theres a chart above you... Please.. Consult.. The... Effing... Chart. Don't just look at the last price. Look at the huge drop, can you see it? It kinda looks like a "V". And it coincides with HLF's announcement of the FTC probe.

If u still wanna argue this has nothing to do with HLF then you win lor

To nu skin shareholders, your patience is rewarded. :)

PROVO, Utah, March 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NUS) today provided an update on the regulatory reviews conducted by the Administration of Industry and Commerce ("AIC") in Shanghai, where its China business is headquartered, and the AIC in Beijing, where the company maintains a branch office. These reviews were conducted under the direction of China's State AIC.

As a result of the reviews, Nu Skin China was penalized in the amount of US $524,000 (RMB 3.26 million) for the sale of certain products by individual direct sellers that, while permitted for sale in Nu Skin China's retail stores, were not registered for the direct selling channel. Nu Skin China was also fined US $16,000 (RMB 100,000) for product claims that were deemed to lack sufficient documentary support. The company understands that six of its sales employees have been fined for unauthorized promotional activities in an aggregate amount of US $241,000 (RMB 1.50 million). In addition, Nu Skin China was asked to enhance the education and supervision of sales representatives. The company is already taking steps to correct the issues raised in the AIC reviews, and is not aware of any other material enforcement investigations currently pending in China.

As announced on Jan. 21, 2014, Nu Skin China voluntarily suspended business promotional meetings and applications for new sales representatives to fully cooperate with the regulatory reviews. The company is working diligently to enhance sales representative training and supervision, and will seek direction from the Chinese government with respect to resuming normal business activities.

"We continue to believe in the potential of China's large and growing market," said Dan Chard, president of global sales and operations. "We remain committed to working cooperatively with the Chinese government to ensure the healthy, long-term growth of our business."

gxgx huat until blc

only a small profit, didn't really huat, could have been worse if the investigations took a long time though.

it has been staying around 90 level, was expecting more. Perhaps some investors are profit taking. In any case, 2 more news catalyst to bring this up: revision of guidance upwards and resume of biz operations in china.
