Herbalife p.r. flurry 'smells of desperation,' Seeking Alpha contributor says

Herbalife, in an effort to inform investors that 21 independent members are traveling to Washington D.C. in support of the company, released six nearly identical press releases this morning, as noted by Seeking Alpha contributor "Quoth the Raven." Putting the news out in this way, via six press releases instead of "one, concise release is unprofessional and farcical - it smells of desperation for positive press," according to the author, who disclosed a short position in the stock.
