The numbers are and have been over the last 22 quarters stellar. The stock hit 60 before the nonsensical attacks and will undoubtedly hit it again in '08. Recessions are good for MLM - look for USNA's sales force & therefore sales to continue into ...

The company uses what's called MLM techniques to sell its products which will eventually end up being the downfall of their company. Multi Level Marketing is a pyramid scheme. Simple as that. Remember Amway, Quixtar?
