Hey no problem I can FEDEX some over to you for tonight........ D17 ---------- originally tungsten, has been transformed into something that turns out to be plutonium 186—an isotope that cannot occur naturally in our universe. As this is investigated, Hallam makes the crucial suggestion that the matter has been swapped by beings in a parallel universe. This turns out to be correct and leads to the development of a cheap, clean, and apparently endless source of energy: the "Electron Pump", which trades matter between our universe (where plutonium 186 decays into tungsten 186) and a parallel one governed by slightly different physical laws (where tungsten 186 turns into plutonium 186), yielding a nuclear reaction in the process. The development process inextricably ties Hallam to the Pump in the minds of the people, vaulting him into an incredibly high position in public opinion and winning him power, position, and a Nobel Prize to boot.

I love that Icahn smoked Ackman (so far).

Has Ackman visited China lately? Nu Skin: Time to Throw in the Towel? Shares of Nu Skin ( NUS) continue to plunge after the Wall Street Journal reported that China would investigate allegations that the multi-level marketer is a pyramid scheme. Reuters Yesterday, the People’s Daily ran a story accusing the company of using sales techniques that bordered on brainwashing. While the story can be easily dismissed– and was–the fact that China is investigating cannot. So says Canaccord Genuity’s Scott Van Winkle and Mark Sigal, who downgraded Nu Skin to Hold from Buy today. They write: While we found yesterday’s article to be the type of complaint multi-level marketers often face, we believe that any government investigation in China opens questions that we can’t forecast. Even with laws to provide a path, we don’t believe that anyone can predict the Chinese government in this instance. Lowering rating to HOLD from Buy to reflect a new level of risk in China, which at roughly one-third of our 2013 revenue forecast is a large enough market to significantly impact not only the financial results but also the valuation. Nu Skin has plunged 20% to $92.52 today at 10:51 a.m., and has dragged down other multi-level marketers with it. Herbalife ( HLF) has dropped 5.9% to $74.74, while Usana Health Sciences ( USNA) has fallen 9.1% to $59.77. Maybe it’s because China is a heck of a lot bigger than Belgium? Remember, back in December, a Beligian court ruled that Herbalife was not a pyramid scheme, which had some bulls acting as if the debate was decided. China, however, is a much bigger beast, and if it come to the conclusion that Nu Skin is indeed a pyramid scheme, it’s not impossible that the issue will become front and center for other multi-level markers again. I’ll leave you with a piece of a Citron Research report on Nu Skin from Oct 2013, that reminded investors that China’s newspapers were already looking into the case of Nu Skin even as the company was in the midst of a 275% rally.
