worthless? From what I understand, a cert will get you into the big bash or you can wipe your ass with it if you run out of tp. So I wouldn't exactly say they're worthless.
etrd .25/1.01
Very interesting. I've been keeping an eye on this for a month or two. May put a little change in and see what happens. Would hate to see this take off and not be in, especially considering how fast it moves. Thanks for the info, gl.
Day is not over yet. Should see things pick up quite a bit.
Big volume yesterday and word from Sterling via CEC that there is no plan for a RS. So if there is no rs and it can't trade any lower, my guess is, it has to go up at some point.
Real company, real product(that works), company is profitable and no rs!
If anyone is thinking their shares are worthless, just hold until the next rs, they'll really be worthless then.
GSIMAN, I'm hearing more of the same. Should get interesting today.
I'm pretty sure you can trade now. Try a market buy order or a .05 limit sell. Just my guess.
Guess the bid ask is .05 and 1.5. WTF
None of that matters until 9:25
That it didn't up tick. Hope that helps
MY sell order is in. Good luck to everyone, holding or selling. Hopefully things will work out for all but Henning!
Cont., and now it's at .0001
After hours pr stating buy back would be heaven sent, imo.
I like your style. Hoping pr includes buy back, profit and more sales!
can I vote for buy back?

Random - OT Personal, answer if you want, just curious. You know Henning, do you like him?
the only ones that weren't fluff was the one from the attorney and the one from Morales about rs
He's not creating the panic. Morales did when he announced his plan for RS.
Hopefully my sell executes within 4 nano seconds.
Interesting. Thank you.
pretty crazy, huh?! Very impressive list of PRs from the company.

I think everyone is still waiting on something official from the company. Would really like to see website info regarding IR updated and clarification of OS. I spoke with the new IR last week and from my understanding, news should come anytime.
Any word from the company? Time frame? RM? Rumors? TIA
Still can't find anything linking Don to Herbalife. Does anyone know how this can be verified? TIA
This is all I could find on Herbalife and its founder/founders.
Herbalife's Early Days (1980-1986)
Stephen Barrett, M.D.
Herbalife International, of Inglewood, California, markets weight-control products, dietary supplements, and personal-care products. The company was founded in 1980 by 24-year-old Mark Hughes, who states he was inspired by his mother's unsuccessful struggle to control her weight with amphetamines. However, this claim was contradicted by an autopsy report which indicyated that she had died of an overdose of Darvon, a painkiller that is a controlled dcontradicted by her autopsy. It indicates she died of an overdose of Darvon, a painkiller classsified as a narcotic [1].
Herbalife's 1993 retail sales totaled $247 million in the United States and $693 million worldwide. Its principal products are Formula #1 (a meal-replacement protein drink mix), Formula #2 (an herbal tablet), Formula #3 (a multivitamin/mineral tablet), and Thermojetics, a weight-control system that includes herbal tablets. The numbered formula products were originally marketed as components of Herbalife's Slim and Trim Program. Today the program is called Herbalife Cellular Nutrition Health and Weight Management System, and some of the ingredients are different.
Hughes dropped out of high school after ninth grade and wound up in legal difficulty that resulted in his staying for three years at a residential school for troubled youngsters. When he was nineteen, his mother died of a drug overdose. According to a 1985 issue of the Herbalife Journal:
Mark became aware of the need for a safe, effective way to lose weight . . . when his mother died as a direct result of following years of unwise dieting practices. This event left him with a vital interest in nutrition and a fervent desire to find a product that would enhance and build health while allowing an individual to take weight off sensibly and safely. . . .
During his search, he had met Richard Marconi, Ph.D., with whom he shared his dream. . . . After a lot of research and testing, Herbalife Slim and Trim was born.
After working for two multilevel companies that sold weight-control products but went out of business, Hughes founded Herbalife with help from Marconi, who had manufactured products for one of these companies. Herbalife publications describe Marconi as a "well-respected nutritional expert" and "the leading authority on nutritional products." His "Ph.D." was obtained from nonaccredited Donsbach University after Marconi hooked up with Hughes. After this fact was brought out at a Congressional hearing (described below), Herbalife's Journal stopped referring to Marconi as "Dr."
Herbalife's initial marketing included lengthy cable television programs that were filled with financial and health-related testimonials. Sales were also promoted with buttons and bumper stickers that said "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How."
In 1982, the FDA sent Herbalife a Notice of Adverse Findings, which stated that certain products were misbranded because of labeling claims that they were effective for treating many diseases, dissolving and removing tumors, rejuvenating, increasing circulation, and producing mental alertness. A 1984 FDA Talk Paper notes that the agency had received many complaints about side effects that had occurred during the use of Herbalife products and had stopped when use of the products was stopped. In fact, said the Talk Paper, "Literature given Herbalife distributors states that up to 25% of product users will have adverse effects but claims that this is evidence of the body's improving itself." Several suits were filed by people who alleged that the products had harmed them. Some of these suits were settled out of court with substantial payment, but the amounts have not been disclosed and the case records are sealed.
By 1985, Hughes claimed that Herbalife had over 700,000 distributors and an annual income approaching half a billion dollars a year. But trouble was brewing. In May 1985, Senator William V. Roth, Jr. (R-DE) held two days of hearings on weight-reduction programs, during which he grilled Hughes about the "research and testing" done prior to marketing Herbalife's products [2,3]. Hughes said, "We have a lot of scientific data on the herbs," but Roth ascertained that no actual testing of Herbalife products had taken place. The hearing also brought to light a study done by Herbalife of 428 users of its products. About 40% had experienced headache, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, lightheadedness, palpitations, and/or other transient symptoms that might be attributable to Herbalife products. The occurrence of side effects came as no surprise because several ingredients in Herbalife products were potent laxatives and one product (N.R.G.) contained guarana, which is high in caffeine.
In March 1985, the California Attorney General had charged Herbalife with violating California's consumer protection laws. The suit charged that early editions of the Herbalife Official Career Handbook made illegal claims that various herbal ingredients were effective against more than seventy diseases and conditions. Although most of these claims were deleted in subsequent editions of the handbook, the company had not replaced the original pages sent to distributors with the revised pages or asked these distributors to destroy them. Similar testimonial claims had been made in the company's cable television broadcasts. The suit also charged that Herbalife had been operating an illegal pyramid scheme. The case was settled in 1986 when Hughes and the company agreed to pay $850,000 and to abide by a long list of court-ordered restrictions on claims and marketing practices.
Just before the Senate hearings, Cable News Network aired a four-part report which revealed that Herbalife's supposed "research laboratory" was a conference room that housed a large table and books on herbs, located at one of Marconi's factories. Marconi told a CNN interviewer, "We employed hundreds . . . even thousands of Ph.D.s in the research program for our products." But when asked who they were, he replied, "Why, the research papers that are published and printed that we have access to on our computer."
The adverse publicity caused Herbalife's income to drop sharply, but the company survived, expanded into many foreign countries, and is now a publicly held corporation. The claims have toned down and several potentially toxic ingredients have been removed.

What can you tell me about Don Grenough? Why can't I find anything that links him to Herbalife? Also, I came accross a blog last night and from the looks of things the arrangement for content with Costafilma took place back in June or July of 07. What's the deal with releasing a pr now? Does Henning have content or not? Also, during the cc yesterday, it was mentioned that they anticipate 1 million downloads within the next 12 months. Wasn't the initial plan for 1 million by launch? Do you know where he's at with downloads? Thanks in advance for your time.
Warning to anyone new.
This company is a POS. If you buy this stock, which I would not advise, do not hold more than a day or two. It will go down and you will be left holding a bunch of worthless stock. Don't take my word for it. Go to post number 1 and start reading. You will be sick to your stomach after a few pages and keep in mind it goes on for 9000 plus posts. They just did a rs 6 months ago and now another and will do another as soon as they dilute back to .0001, don't get caught!
3/13/2007 JKXJ became EWDC and started trading at .10, from then to 7/13/2007 they diluted the stock all the way to .0001, without ever going higher than the open of trading on 3/13.
7/13/2007 EWDC changes symbol to EWDI and does a rs. New issue starts trading at .015, from then to present they diluted the stock all the way to .0001, without ever going higher than the open of trading 7/13
1/17/2007 EWDI does another rs. ANYONE CARE TO GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
WHY WON'T YOU ADDRESS MY QUESTIONS?
So you think there is a way of playing this and not taking a loss? Please share. And also what makes you think things will be any different this time than past rs? Please answer these quetions. It's not the first time I've asked. It seems your only response has been, you know things that no one else does. Again, please share. Keep in mind, my average is .0001
looks like they are going to continue to dump shares all the way to the end.
Almost forgot yes I have. HCPC. NO bid, that is.
Here's the thing. Although you may be right, it's still not the only probable outcome and for you to say that that is what and how something is going to happen is just a very bold statement in my opinion. I asked a question and you kindly answered, I appreciate your response and do not wish to argue about what's going to happen next. I'm pretty sure I understand all the risks.
That's quite a bold statement and says a lot or should I say a little about your credibility, thanks. EOM

Are you saying this stock will continue to have no bid until a rs and there isn't a chance to make a profit? Is that what you are saying?
Seriously. When was the last time the content was updated? How old are those movie trailers now? You enjoy that the tool bar obstucts a portion of your screen when referring you to other websites, that aren't even relevant to your search? My home page has a link to all the stuff you listed in your post. Guess what? I didn't have to download anything or give out my email address for it either. And BTW - I use the google toolbar, it doesn't look ridiculous and it works. Please enlighten me if you believe there is some sort of method to making the Boomerang work properly. I've been under the impression this whole time that if I click on something, I should get an action. Is that the wrong way?
And again what's the purpose of the "official launch" and in your estimation how is it going to impact the pps?
