Vi UK Now international !
2 years ago I lost 33 Lbs on the 90 Day challenge, so I know the product works and I still drink the shakes. I own BTH Stock and I've been buying calls! Remember "I TOLD YOU SO!
Strong day regardless of over all market
$BTH
BTH - looking very strong today despite a weak overall market.
we may see $14+ today.
NO...heavens no.
Mr. Pumper is actually the IR for CVSL. His name is Scott Pumper. No, really.
Mr. Pumper has done some amazing things. You should see what he did with JCOF (now YGYI).
Josh,
Are you insinuating Gilliam is PUMPING? To me it looks like he did some very good research on BTH and now CVSL and he is trading the stock accordingly... Now if the Shorts get squeezed so be it.. Lets not forget they have squeezed lots of CASH from anyone that invests or trades stocks at some point in time, Now if you don't believe in what is happening and your speculation tells you this is going down, then maybe you should trade the stock accordingly....
Good luck
What we need is a run at $14 to make the shorts squirm over the weekend.
I wonder if Mr. Gilliam is more familiar with Mr. Pumper than he lets on.
new article by Gilliam posted on SA at 2:10 is moving the stock:

More than convenient if you bought back in the 9s. Though not moving today, who blinks first?
Ahhhh I'm a happy camper. I'm a lover and nothing's better then a squeeze ;)
Keep Calm and Trade On
Gilliam right on target, CVSL confirms interest in being a larger shareholder of BTH, cannot discuss further at this time. Throw another shrimp on the bar-b mate, shorts will be toast.
Update: Only 9,606 shares available for shorting as of 9:46AM (not that I'm recommending that)
Great move so far!

Or just go to yahoo finance headlines for BTH.
do you have a link to the street.com mention?
Might be in for a real treat here, between the excellent Seeking Alpha update by John Gilliam and TheStreet.com mention this could take off, and if the CVSL interest is confirmed this will be an unbelievable run. Even if no news from CVSL this is poised to take off. Good luck to all.
Quite a reaction- going to read it now. Thanks.

Seeking Alpha article has spiked the stock:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1712892-is-cvsl-the-porsche-to-blyths-volkswagen?source=email_rt_article_readmore
BTH +14.10% @ 13.84, 547K

Let's jump to the present...CVSL.
Before that it was YGYI.
Before that it was PURE and IV7Direct.net.
Mr. Rochon joined the direct selling cosmetics company Mary Kay Inc. in 1980. In 1984, he became chief financial officer, and subsequently became chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Rochon was the architect of Mary Kay's management-led leveraged buyout in 1985, arranging the financing and executing the transaction.
That LBO is regarded as one of the most successful in business history. During the following 16 years, the company's retail revenue grew from $500 million to almost $3 billion and Mary Kay became the world's best-selling brand of skin care and color cosmetics. Mr. Rochon became vice chairman and chief financial officer in 1987 and chairman and CEO in 1991.
Lots of insider money being put in the game, tells me they are bullish from these level. Will be interesting for sure.
Tactics?.... Where did the volume go? Short % DECREASED, company is dead, and no buyers. How does this get squeezed? I think it's more the company using insider purchases in a last ditch effort to enact a squeeze. I don't have a stake in BTH, just enjoy watching the game. GLTA
"Most people I know shorted this around $40 or $25 and aren't even considering covering"
it amazes me the tactics that shorts will use.. sorry buddy!
The 12.50 after hours is exactly that. Sept's expire tomorrow and it seems as if someone is exercising and trying to prop it up. I honestly don't think the shots are concerned about the $.10 and this one is destined for low single digits eventually. Could go either way, but with the market at new highs and a potential correction this one could get slammed hard. Most people I know shorted this around $40 or $25 and aren't even considering covering. Just my thoughts. GLTA
If someone is looking to squeeze the shorts, they could have done no better than how they played the price against the Sept. call expiration. Shorts probably loaded into $12.50s and $15s to cover (cheapest insurance for a squeeze). Those will expire worthless or nearly so. Now a squeeze has a full month to play out with more insider buying happening today, dividend next week this could begin anew.
Up to $12.50 after hours, what's up with that?
If you can substantiate billionaire, that would be great. So far, I haven't been able to. If you can't, consider putting "billionaire" in quotes.
BTW, the Forbes 400 was posted recently. You need $1.25B just to make the list. He wasn't on it last year and isn't on it this year. Good luck finding any SEC filings to show that he owns 5% of anything besides CVSL.
no major drop back - support around 12 to push back to where we are today
any opinions on how the option calls might play into this?
its going to be an interesting Friday up or down I suppose......
$BTH
Don't think for one minute that that Billionaire scoundrel isn't playing both sides. He screwed Miss Mary Kay ash by the way and her son by taking a large portion of their business to go start his own and suing them in fed. Court on severance pay to start that business.
His golden parachute was Mary Kay cash that made him what he is today; scum sucking MLM pirate. This dude should be in jail.
Not doubting you on this at all. My only question is, if he is all about the money, as a large stakeholder, why wouldn't he have jumped all over the potential squeeze and made a ton of money, then work the other side and crash it down. Could be why BTH did not respond to his overtures.
Just seems that the leverage was clearly in his favor last week and he failed to capitalize. Nevertheless, I am proceeding cautiously and still think we might see a push back up after the options expiration Friday. Thanks again.
No really dude. I am so pissed still about that scam. That man is bad news. he had the nerve to tell us we were buying in essence an Option. The stock was over a buck. When he opened his mouth and Scott Pumper (funny but true name) the VP of Javalution said we were going to have a 1:2 R/S that a short squeeze would happen and we would be happy. The stock sold off during the conf., and was a 70% gutting and they did it so it was within the last twenty five minutes of Friday trading. Never seen that before. Then the stock froze, the R/S happened and it went to .60 and got gutted back to .12 cents. Still trading low and this is from 2011. No way man. Rochin is Larry Hagman in a black under taker garb. Lying, cheating SOB. Bad dude. Go look at his Chap 11 filings in California. a few of his PONZI schemes went belly up.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
Rochon is a scam artist, go ask MassCoach1 how he orchestrated a back door merger where JCOF was supposed to be purchasing Youngjevity and as it turned out it was the other way around, then they issued a reverse split and emptied all the reserve shares to water dow the stock and blamed the Asians for manipulation. I could not believe Rochon was the chairman advising Dr. Wallach the whole time. Rochon is involved,,,do yourself a favor and run as far and fast as you an. He is going to screw all of you.
Well there is this.

Looks like someone is interested in BTH after all. What might ths bring?
Yes, they need some good financial news. Anything to spark it. I saw the chart and $15.00 is the magic short squeeze number. if it goes above that the squeeze begins where a substantial amount of borrows occurred between 16-28 dollars. You can follow the short increases by date and dollar and see what I mean. I also think it was artificially held back from passing 15 for that very reason.
yep - that $11 area is my re-entry target.
I think this is posturing for the upcoming options expiration. I am hoping they try to push it down to around $11 or so by Thursday, I will probably look to re- enter at that level after the shenanigans are finished.
I'm invested in BTH too. The % of float shorted, recent insider buying activities,the already-approved repurchase authorization, 400% price/volume increase over the last three days as well as the exposure of a potential squeeze. However, I do not think it will happen without some major repurchase/insider/hedge fund announcement. What do you think?
I'm buying and putting a high sell order in so shorts are in for pain.
BTH There were 15,500 SH available in P-M
There are 5,800 available now
That's nothing
Going to continue to squeeze
MG
Going past $50.00, easy... This is going to be a slaughter. It's ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
Sounds like a good plan! Cover your shorts and buy the stock ?
Covering first thing in the morning. No shares left. Still getting a good return. Don't get left holding the bag.
Roser
Yes, credit for a good alert!
MG
thanks, but don't give me any credit for it. that all goes to atlanta1.
I agree. If it passes $15.00 on Monday the floodgates open...
My comment was in reference to his call of $13 and the chart today. I know he didn't make the initial call on Blyth, that credit goes to John Gilliam whose article on August 29th on Seeking Alpha was my catalyst. And while I was busy spreading the words rom Sept 3 on, John G is the one who brought it to my attention.
Don't know about his other posts and your claims.
