Forbes Believes In Avon
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Jack Adamo, writer for Forbes.com has a positive outlook for Avon, as shared in an articles today:
There are few stocks that the market thinks is uglier right now than Avon Products . But this unloved company could turn into a beautiful swan in the next couple of years, and its transformation could start showing up much sooner.
Avon’s third quarter earnings report was very encouraging in some aspects, but left a lot of questions unanswered. While revenues were down 8%, that was entirely due to the change in exchange rates caused by the very strong U.S. dollar. The company has a large South American presence. While that’s still not good news, it is at least not indicative of operational or marketing problems, though perhaps a new CFO would hedge currencies better. The search for one is currently in progress.
Elsewhere on the income statement, operating margins improved dramatically from 2.9% last year to 8.8% this year, although there’s still plenty of room for improvement there. Another positive is that third-quarter net income from continuing operations was $0.21 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.01 last year.
Analysts expect operating or adjusted earnings for full-year 2014 to come in at $0.83 and look

Rolling Stone Flops When They Discuss MLM Instead of Music
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Rolling Stone is pulling at strings when they hire an in-trouble journalist to write an opinion piece on MLM that contains dated criticism, much like their reputation.
In a post-recession era when many Americans are feeling dis-heartened by the traditional path of school,college, and a 9-5, Caleb Hanna, journalist for Rolling Stone magazine, writes an opinion piece about how a few individuals in Vemma are targeting college kids with a business opportunity, with a less-than-honest approach about the opportunity itself. It’s criticism that was common in the 80’s, when few people truly understood the network marketing opportunity. However, to hear a somewhat reputable publication write an article that questions the tactics with typical media spin techniques, it’s a wonder Rolling Stone isn’t doing so well.
International Business Times, an online publication, calls Rolling Stone ‘a gasping dinosaur’ and RS’s lack of research in having a journalist, who has — not once — but twice, been in journalistic hot water is evident that when reading an article, one should consider the source.
In 2011 public records indicate that Hannan stands accused of “failing to do any due diligence at all on the story.” (In regards to a Seattle Times article)
One thing is certain, Hannan
