God bless you Bodhi S
I've written about this before.
The green coffee business is doing fine.
But where is the growth in the coffee roasting business?
K-cups? Sold by their distributors?
Where is the new coffee roasting business that they said they would be able to bid on, when they became SQF certified?
Results there are meager to none so far.
Mr Wallach. Mr Briskie. Can you find someone to manage the coffee roasting side, and get some revenue and profits generated there?
It's time for a change in management at CLR.
Still waiting.
Not sure why I should help someone who distorts, confuses, and is ignorant of facts.
Or maybe you're just sloppy and are not detail oriented?
Your inability to do the necessary home work is not my fault.
Discover for yourself by re-reading your post several times and you may be able to figure it out for yourself.
But I have my doubts.
You display intellectual laziness and are not worth my time.
The folks who read the SEC filings and press releases closely, and follow the company while contacting management with questions know where your errors lie. So you in effect you do not have the credibility to be taken seriously.
No reason we should take you seriously.
You're just as anonymous as the rest of us, and you're opinion does not hold any greater weight than ours.
We are perfectly happy investing in YGYI.
You on the other hand are sad.
And yes it was a major sin of ommission which you don't seem to have the depth of knowledge to figure out by yourself.
You're knowledge about YGYI is shallow and unremarkable.
At least 3 factual errors in this post alone. Pretty impressive feat on your part.
That does not even include one "sin of omission."
You are not credible.
Herbalife's recent price performance is giving me some concern over the MLM model. And it may be giving others concern also. About the only thing I can think of for the dreary volume. But coffee may be their ace-in-the-hole. I just wish the whole HLF saga was resolved one way or another so we can invest without worrying about fed regulations or enforcement actions. The whole sector is being held hostage right now.
Right. If people have a twitter or Facebook account. At least post these press releases to your followers. Use social media to help get the word out.
Good start. But since it's a partnership, isn't this really 13 million?
CVSL Letter.

Good luck to all.
A new day.
It will be interesting to see whether the bidders come back at .24 this week or drop to .23
One thing they have not done so far is hit the ask.
Let's see if they stay patient and wait for the stock to come in or become more aggressive as the new year approaches.
Off line for a while.
Merry Christmas.
Not worried about the sellers.
Watching the buyers.
Their bids are getting hit at .24 and at this point in the day they keep coming back for more.
They are being very patient and waiting for any selling to accumulate more below .25
And on another note. I follow upper management on social media and it seems the level of optimism regarding the company has reached another level.
I may be reading too much into some of their comments but I get the feeling they believe 2015 will be a break-out year for Youngevity.
Nothing specific. Just a feeling on my part.
There is a bid underneath and it's not going away.
When the bid gets hit, they keep coming back for more.
They are not chasing the stock, but waiting for any sellers at the .22 to .24 level.
Time will tell.
This stock has made a lot of people look stupid, including me.
Buyer's on the bid recently look to me, to be more than insiders or company buying back stock.
Could be some accumulation going on precipitated by all the investor conferences finally attracting some interest.
Now you're talking!
Any bold predictions for 2015?
Bold predictions serve no usefull purpose except to make the predictor look foolish.
But I am bored so being the "glass-half-full" guy mine will be on the optimistic side.
Duel SEC and FTC investigations of Herbalife will pose no threat to the industry. As a result HLF will begin to move higher as will others in the sector.
YGYI will trade between 50 cents and 1.00 a share before July 1st.
Revenues for 2015 will come in higher than analysts estimates at around 200 million dollars.
CLR roasters will expand it's K-cup operation with an announcement in July that they will be purchasing another K-Cup machine to be operational in the 1st Qtr of 2016.
The green coffee business rapidly expands and Kraft Foods and Dunkin Donuts will sign major contracts to procure green coffee from CLR's Nicaragua plantation.
Rapid international expansion in Mexico will be the most significant growth driver on the direct selling side, with even faster growth than in the United States.
Youngevity acquires a manufacturing facility to produce most of their major supplements and other nutritional products in-house greatly reducing costs.
Growth in the United states will not stand pat, with regional replenishment centers or distribution warehouses established in th midwest and east coast. Another cost saving measure to help streamline rapid growth.
A prominent investment banking firm, specializing in coverage of the direct selling industry will begin to cover the stock later in the 2nd half of the year followed by an announcement by the company that it will qualify to trade on the NYSE beginning in January of 2016.
Thanks for the updated info Lake.
I also recall Briskie saying that the coffee business alone could or would support the current market cap of Youngevity.
After thinking about it over the weekend, it seems that CLR roasters is putting everything they have into the k-cup business with one operational in Q1 of 2015 and 3 or 4 more to be put into operation as needed.
But that business will only be as good as their distributors are in selling the k-cups.
And it sounds like Youngevity has no intention of manufacturing k-cups for any other direct selling MLM in their space.
The K-cup business could be very big, but I just wish, as I've stated before, that CLR would have a few more winning bids since being SQF certified 15 months ago.
Glad you've retained your sense of humor. Holzacher Lager helps a lot.
Short interest was about zero a couple of months ago. It increased to about 74,000 shares right around the qtrly report on November 13th.
30 day average daily volume is around 83,000 shares.
They will have to cover eventually and it looks like the stock has some good support around 22 cents.
Might be a buying opportunity.
If not an investment, at least a trade.
Wallach with another 3000 shares bought Friday.
The green coffee business has taken off and I applaud CLR roasters for the great start.
But since being SQF certified in September of 2013, I could find only two announcements for coffee roasting contracts, one in August for 10.4 million dollars and the other back in January for 2.5 million.
I thought the SQF certification was supposed to expose CLR to a lot more bidding opportunities.
If it has, it sure has not produced any winning bids.
Just 2 wins in 15 months.
Not what I was hoping for.
Well you were on Andreoli's case to start buying.
Now he did.
Now we need some rich guy to to accumulate hundreds of thousands if not millions of shares now.
Hey rich guys and gals, now is the time.
The insider buying started in August, when Briskie said on Facebook that "the time is now."
And it has continued every month since then except for October when they might have been restricted from buying shares.
As a great investor once said, 'there are lots of reasons to sell, but only one reason to buy'.
I have bought and sold CVSL a few times and don't own any shares right now.
But since I am a former owner and am familiar with Rochon, I follow all the happenings since I sold.
The one thing that still sticks in my mind is when CVSL had their first conference call and Rochon said that he did not believe in reverse splits and that he would never do one because they are not usually successful.
I am not sure why he changed his mind but I will continue to watch closely to see how this stock trades when it finally lists on the NYSE MKt.
I think Rochon has a plan, but I am not sure the execution has gone smoothly lately.
It will be interesting to see how CVSL trades once the uplisted shares start trading.
I think it can do well, but we may need to see what's in the pipeline and how much they have to pay to grow.
Good luck.
Must have struck a nerve for being spot on in my analysis as my message was deleted.
Not surprising.
He should seek therapy.
Pyramid schemes eventually collapse.
Kind of hard to believe HLF is one, and is still selling product and is profitable after 30 years.
But that aside.
From what I have been told, the HLF situation is holding back some buyers of YGYI stock. And until the short attack on Herbalife is over, YGYI will continue to be held hostage just for being an MLM.
I think we will get this resolved in the not to distant future.
So maybe we have some insider buying because they see no FTC affect on their business plan?
Or they are hearing whispers that the HLF situation will be resolved favorably?
Correction. 1000 shares bought by Wallach and 8500 by Briskie
Wallach with 9500 more shares bought this week.
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/own-disp?action=getissuer&CIK=0001569329
I think the insider buying is pure symbolism.
Briskie and Wallach both do not need to buy stock, because they already have millions of shares to capitalize on, in the event of a significant event.
They believe the stock is cheap and buying shares on the open makrket is symbolic of that belief.
Not expecting any news in the near term to drive the price higher.
Thats my opinion on the insider buys.
Or then there is this...The other side of the trade.
Barclays Analyst Meredith Adler sought to address concerns over cash flow and maturing debt in her research note.
“Our conclusion is that HLF will have sufficient cash available in the U.S. to repay the debt as it matures, if it chooses not to refinance at the terms that might be available now. The company wants to keep buying back stock, however, so waiting to refinance until after a resolution of the FTC investigation -- assuming it is favorable vs. expectations -- would get it better financing terms, but the stock price is likely to have gone up a lot as well,” according to Adler.
Adler added, “Right now we think the company is looking for financing alternatives but not buying back stock in order to ensure that it has sufficient cash to make the debt payments if that becomes necessary. We do not think the company is close to violating either the leverage or fixed charge coverage covenants in its bank agreement based on our calculation of adjusted EBITDA."
Adler concluded that “HLF has contingency plans related to its costs that can be implemented if cuts become necessary; some initiatives to increase efficiency are already under way.”
Well there are folks that want Youngevity's business, and it is my understanding that CFO Dave Briskie met with a director of the NYSE when he was in New York for the last 3 investor conferences.
I don't know what was discussed but I would assume at least part of the conversation was about an eventual up listing.
What else is going on is anybody's guess.
Can't blame them for not bumping the price target a few cents higher.
It can't break or maintain 30 cents, so improbable it can break 40 cents any time soon.
Would like to see a larger more recognizable research firm take an interest in the company. But probaby can't happen yet because of where they are listed, the market cap and other reasons.
That is what I wrote about on November 12th.
MLM's are under fire right now.

More insider buying today.https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/own-disp?action=getissuer&CIK=0001569329
If international expansion is successful, that may be enough to grow the company with very few high cost acquisitions.
The coffee side could have some good growth as well, but may take even more investment to grow.
I wonder if Seethru Equity will issue a follow up research report?
Also, at today's prices Wallach owns about 67 million dollars worth of YGYI.
He just has to figure out how to generate some liquidity so he can sell some shares someday.
If he can figure out how to get some buying interest in the stock, he and his family could be super rich.
He has the incentive. 280 million shares at a buck has to be on his mind.
If I found 700 dollars in loose change in my couch I'd buy 3000 shares too.
The CEO bought a few shares yesterday.
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/own-disp?action=getissuer&CIK=0001569329
Ya. that site has been around for a while.
I wonder if he would take another shot at Blythe or another public company?
Trying to figure out if there are any small publicly traded companies he'd be interested in that he could acquire without a lot of financing.
Any guess as to the size of acquisition if it is a "big" one and how it will be funded?
