Herbalife First Soars Then Dumps After FTC Settlement Report Is Denied

Update: According to CNBC, there will be no imminent settlement report, which just confirms that as we warned in the original post, the NY Post continues to be mostly a source of disinformation and hedge funds peddling their own positions.
The market may be surging again, but that will hardly comfort Bill Ackman who later today is expected to report later today that his hedge fund remains roughly 20% YTD, or perhaps even worse following news from the NY Post, that his most hated stock ever, Herbalife, has reached “an agreement in principle with the Federal Trade Commission to settle a years-long probe into whether it was a pyramid scheme”, as a result of which the stock is soaring.
This follows the company’s announcement earlier this month that it was close to a settlement with the FTC.
