Q: Hi Peter

every quarter they highlight growing sales and EBITDA, but it never translates to the bottom line

profit is flat

what is wrong with the company, that growth never comes out the bottom line?

also with 59% of revenue from the USA, why does it need to have currency hedges to protect itself from rising material costs priced in US dollars? --that should be a natural hedge

most quarters (except last one) those hedges are a drag on profits

and now they hedge interest rates too !!

thx in advance

Q: I own a small position in HLF (775 shares). Would you suggest dumping them even if at small loss to get that money working somewhere smarter or is there hope for a share price recovery in the near-term (next 12 months)? My take is that there have been some decisions made to correct the course but I am not super optimistic. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thx,
M.

Q: Hi,

Just curious about this Company with the announcement of the FOX tie up, which I believe you had mused about last year, a media company at least. Currently they only have sports betting in NJ, I believe. They could set up in Nevada, WV and PA with their partnership with Eldorado and Mount Airy. Any reason why they elected to wait? Additionally I don't think they have a licence in PA for betting. Is the stock valuation suffering as a result of the time it has taken to get sports betting to market or are there other variables? I cannot agree that the financing of the purchase of sky bet and william hill were not telegraphed and are the reason for the fall from the heights.

Thoughts?
