All and Amy Nash (concerns ),
Your questions and concerns are legitimate, but they do not make sense. How would CVSL plan on buying BTH without a large cash offer. If BTH accepted the offer and then it was found CVSL could not come up with cash, CVSL stock would crash. The BTH Georgen family can keep they're sinking company now. Checked into Thomas Wittenborg on LinkedIn, he has had previous positions that speak to his ability to obtain large amounts of capital. I also searched for a link between CFO of CVSL and Wittenborg. They both worked for Bank of America at one time or another.
One interesting thing about CVSL is its ability to handle international networking companies. This strength will allow CVSL to immediately turn successful companies located in a single country into international successes.
Most successful networking companies have tremendous growth, followed by saturation and slow growth or decline when they are large enough. By buying a large company CVSL would show tremendous revenue increase and would only have to focus on the turnaround of one company. This would cause share prices to skyrocket and bring much legitimacy to CVSL.
I would rather see long term focus. By buying many small and promising networking companies at a much lower price and taking them full their full growth cycles, CVSL can get the most bang for its buck over the long term. This is why I believe CVSL is using 500 million cash instead of shares to buy its next round of small companies. Stock prices will only rise slowly with these acquisitions, but with strong increases in revenue in profit, this model is much stronger than trying to turn around a large sinking ship. Diversification in different networking companies also provides security.
After many successful small companies are acquired, the stock price should be at sufficient levels to start using it to purchase more networking companies.
