>I am not sure L'Oreal and Unilever would fit.

I would have to agree, not the best fits.

As I stated, that was an unfounded rumor. However, As I did state below, UL does now have an AVP connection and they do have the leverage, although chances are just fair maybe. The China story might be like the one I saw for selling COKE products in Africa. Someone takes the product to where the people can get it. Not at a retail store.

Herbalife Ltd. would also be a good fit, but once again they are small. IMO- They would have to issue stock and get funding if interested.

AJ from what I've seen, has always a big seller of AVP stock. That doesn't show to much confidence in the company your leading.

Now we know the offer has been withdrawn. It puts extra pressure on AVP. It certainly will be Interesting to see what their response will be. I'm fairly certain the lawsuits will be forthcoming if they don't give a bear hug back.
