Date of Birth
November 6, 1986
Place of Birth
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.
April 27, 2014
In a rather bold move, Stephanie McMahon took the opportunity during the opening segment of Monday Night Raw to bash CM Punk, as the show was emanating from Chicago, where the former world heavyweight champion resides. She admonished the fans for chanting for a quitter. Stephanie also appeared to have taken a jab at Punk's personal life by stating that he quit on his real life family.
September 30, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that there is a standing offer on the table for Ric Flair to make a permanent return to Monday Night Raw and be an on screen character. However, WWE officials need him to make sure that everything in his personal life is put in order before he starts going back on the road with the company. Flair is said to be interested in signing the contract.
May 4, 2014
Life has been on the upswing as of late for Eddie Edwards. Aside from the American Wolves being picked up by TNA and being featured routinely on Impact Wrestling each week, things are going rather well for Edwards in his personal life as well. He has revealed that he is now engaged to Alexxis Nevaeh, an independent wrestler. The two are doing a wedding next April.
April 24, 2014
Since he has become quite the star in WWE over the last year, fans have become quite intrigued about the personal life of Seth Rollins. One of the questions being asked is in regards to his relationship status. This is a picture of his last known girlfriend. No word yet on whether or not the Shield star is still involved with her at this point.
March 17, 2014
Now that he is featured prominently on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, a lot of fans have grown curious about the personal life of Dean Ambrose. Some believe that this picture is of the WWE star and his girlfriend, while others believe that it is simply a fan taking a picture with the US champion.
March 17, 2014
There are those within the industry that believe that CM Punk might opt to take an entire year off from professional wrestling, as opposed to signing a deal with ROH or TNA this summer. The former WWE champion has not really had much of a chance to enjoy his personal life over the last couple of years because he has constantly been on the road.
March 1, 2014
Congratulations to Mickie James and Brutus Magnus. They're now parents to a new baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis. Mickie has been on a hiatus since becoming pregnant, only making sporadic appearances during the beginning. Magnus is expected to still be on the road with TNA, but that schedule is a bit easier now that the company is taping Impact Wrestling in advance.
September 25, 2014
There's a pretty long list of wrestlers who have gotten into acting over the years. You can add Brutus Magnus to that group, as the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has been seeking out opportunities in Hollywood as of late. With his look and weekly exposure on Impact Wrestling, he has a bit of an edge over new actors in the industry.
June 12, 2014
"Why do internet fans and gossip writers always have to find an ulterior motive for decisions? It baffles and frankly irritates the hell out of me that these people always have to assume the worst, and report it as fact. More needs to be done in both companies to combat internal sources talking to these parasites. I was asked by a promoter recently if I lost the title because there was heat between me and John Gaburick, our Executive VP of Talent and Creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, 'Big' and I are able to freely express ourselves to one another, which means we get to speaks our minds properly, and we've had that relationship since he first arrived in TNA. "Furthermore, how ridiculous is that notion? Do you think if there was heat, that he would have put the title on me in the first place. On average, numbers went across the board while I had the strap. The job of the heel champion is to get the babyfaces over, and leave the place in a better state than he found it. Mission accomplished. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into my next chapter." - Brutus Magnus addressing rumors that he has backstage heat in TNA
May 28, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Rumors have been floating around for a couple of months now about Mickie James being pregnant, and the former TNA Knockout has now confirmed it during a recent interview with Totally Driven Radio. Mickie also revealed that she is due to give birth to her first baby some time in September. Former world champion Brutus Magnus is said to be the father.
May 9, 2014
A new Slammiversary 2014 poster has been released. This time, new TNA World Heavyweight CHampion Eric Young is featured instead of Brutus Magnus.
May 3, 2014

May 2, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of Brutus Magnus going crazy and assaulting Abyss and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young.
April 26, 2014
"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
A video of Eric Young winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Brutus Magnus on Impact Wrestling this week.
April 13, 2014
In an extremely shocking bit of news, Eric Young has defeated Brutus Magnus to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He had earned himself a title shot at the beginning of Impact Wrestling, where Young won a gauntlet match. Instead of waiting for the title shot, he demanded it on the same night. A piledriver sealed the pin fall victory for Young.
April 10, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made his return to TNA, some felt that it might have been a temporary appearance. However, that was squashed when it was revealed that was back for an extended period of time. There are rumors floating around right now that TNA could use his name value to give some credibility to Brutus Magnus in a title program.
March 27, 2014
A picture of the official Slammiversary 2014 poster, which features Brutus Magnus as the centerpiece attraction. Behind him are Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, MVP and Kurt Angle, which has led to speculations that TNA could be doing a big world heavyweight championship match featuring all five of the performers.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
During a recent interview, Mickie James revealed that she is back in a relationship with Brutus Magnus. The former WWE diva and the current TNA heavyweight champion went through a breakup last year, but it looks like they have reconciled their differences.
March 14, 2014
It is now being reported that Mickie James is pregnant. She has been telling independent wrestling promoters that she is willing to make appearances, but she can no longer take a bump in the ring. The former TNA star recently revealed that she is back with Brutus Magnus again. The two had split up for a period of time.
March 13, 2014
A video preview of the big world heavyweight championship match between Samoa Joe and Brutus Magnus that will be taking place at TNA Lockdown 2014 this weekend.
March 9, 2014
While he is not officially booked for an event, you can expect to see Rockstar Spud being involved in the main event TNA championship match between Brutus Magnus and Samoa Joe. On Impact Wrestling, Dixie Carter was selling the fact that Magnus would be out there alone. That is simply a set up for some interference from Spud.
March 8, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

There are good cramps too! Especially with my oldest I thought for sure AF was going to show and was not even going to bother testing (I was 17 DPO) but the good ladies on here badgered me into it.
I just read your news Kelly! Hoping you hear from the dr soon!! Praying for great results!!
Now I'm trying to wait to test :-/ lol been really crampy and feel like my sense of smell is alot stronger and have been having headaches almost daily soo idk lol but only 7 DPO so I'm trying to wait till the 30th and if AF hasn't showed by then I ima test! Hoping it doesn't show! This waiting is hard lol
Getting darker! It was lighter this morning and it is darker in person than it shows here so I *think* it might be positive tomorrow. That combined with my temp drop this morning I am super hopeful. Looking back on past charts I always have a temp dip, small rise, than a large rise and FF always puts my O date on the day of the slow rise so it will be interesting to see what my temp does in the morning!
Yay for darker lines Rach. You should get a pos tomorrow.
My Hpt was completely neg this morning . So the ovidrel is gone. Now for the lines to reappear. :/ If they don't, it's ok. There's always next month, right?!? I'm gonna TRY not to test tomorrow and see what Monday's test looks like.
Rach, I'm on my cell and can't edit but I meant to say with the line already that dark, you may get a pos tonight. Good luck. I'm cheering for you!!!!
Sooo I'm new to this whole charting thing... Can someone look at my chart and tell me if you think I ovulated yesterday based on my temp this morning? I still never got a solid smile on my opk just the flashing one but I am wondering if I would have gotten the day I didn't test?
Cookie - have you tested again?
Rach - I'm excited to see your tests get positive!!
Kay - hang in there! I'm hoping your patience will pay off and you will get a BFP!!
BabyPayne - yay for the trigger being gone!!
Jessie -- I think you would get a neg 48 hours after a pos, not a blinkie...so maybe you're not there yet?
Kay -- That like the cramps I had and thought were weird. Not that you should read into it, just saying, I thought I'd only get cramps at certain time and...apparently it's a cramp free for all down there LOL! Get some pg safe dye, just in case!!!
Cookie -- Lets see some lines!
Cait -- Losing weight is totally possible, you can do it!!! I lost a bunch of weight and seemingly put it all back on without really noticing...oops.
Rach -- Come on O!
Natalie [31] DH [40] 9/01, 1/06 NaturallyNatalie's Hair Accessories!
Thanks ladies! I know it will be hard during surgery but I am going to try and hold fast to my plan and so far I eat 540 calories before dinner so I figure I can eat 500 calories at dinner because that is the hardest to cut with DH not wanting to diet with me. I gotta do this, I know I can if I get as determined with it as I am at getting pregnant

The cramps have subsided and I feel fine today. Temp was the same as yesterday, so that's good. I'm sure I won't be able to wait much longer. Ill probably see what my temp does tomorrow and if its still up, I *might* test. Dont get your hopes up though! I might chicken out! Lol
Popping in to say Kay needs to test today because I am like 99.9% sure it'll be positive
AHH! You 2 are freaking me out!!!! I'm REALLLY hoping you're right, but I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that it really might be. The longer I wait though, the more I get my hopes up, and then the bigger the let down if it's a bfn. It's a catch 22. Last month, I got a pos OPK on March 5th and didn't start AF til the 23rd... and even though I wasn't charting, it seems as if I have a long LP. We'll see what happens with my temp tomorrow. DH has been pressuring me as well.
Kay you are so much stronger than I am!!! I'm hoping and praying you get that BFP!!
Just test. Seriously. If it's negative today it'll be negative tomorrow. It is VERY rare to have an LP be that long without a positive test, especially with the high temps.
Wow... ok. Like I said, I'll see what my temp is like tomorrow morning and decide. DH isn't home, it's evening, and Ive drank probably 8 bottles of water. No use in wasting a test. Also, you may have missed it, but a few ladies here (myself included) think it's possible I may have O'd on CD15 instead of 14... that would only put my LP at 14 days, which is totally average. In fact, 14-16 is, and I'm only on 15 if FF is right. So I don't think I'm really holding out too much. I'm sorry if me not wanting to be disappointed is upsetting to you... but my DH and I will decide tomorrow what we want to do...
Sorry if my wording upset you, I wasn't meaning for it to. I was honestly being playful with you not trying to harass you. I'll stay out of it! It's your choice whether you want to test or not, no one elses.
Ok. Sometimes it's hard to know how to take people through text. I read it as crappy, but if that wasn't your intention, then no hard feelings!
ETA - I'm a red head now... i'm not sure how I feel about it, but i think I like it. it's fun! I sent a pic to DH and he just said "i'll have to see it when I get home." I really hope he likes it!

Kay...getting super excited for you !!! Thinking of you and praying with everything in me you get a bfp when you test !! Stay away AF!!!
Currently on the phone listening to my mom ramble on about issues that happen back in August. I was just about to take a nap too! UGH! An hour of rambling and listening to it, aw well. I had so many temptations today with chocolate glazed doughnuts, which I am still drooling over and then DH wanted chocolate chip muffins and I resisted them too! Pretty excited about that! Filled my prescriptions for my surgery today, it's getting more real now. Blah! I want this next month to just get over with, I want to try again so bad!
Kay - Your doing so great, hang in there, only a few more days to go!
Rach - Get to it girl!
Kelly - I am stalking your other threads as well!!

Need advice... called RE's office today to let them know that today was CD1. The IUI nurse said it had to be full flow by 6pm for me to count it. Starting this morning around 10am, when I wipe there is bright red blood and a little in the toilet just now (5:30ish pm) after using the bathroom (sorry TMI). But there has been just a little brown spotting on my pad all day. It's 5:45pm. I don't know what to call this, and I need to figure if today is CD1 or tomorrow since it affects when I start my Clomid. Thoughts?
Thanks! Jen
Sorry Jen! I have no idea!
I know I need to stay out of this NET but since you ask questions I want to answer I hope it's OK that I'm replying I would also count tomorrow as CD1 and today as just spotting.
Omg so I always read this thread and stalk all of y'all and your charts!!! And Karen seriously, geez, use more smilies so people know what you mean gawd!

Hartnell College Diversity Conference to Feature Little Rock Student of 1957
April 22nd, 2003
Terrance Roberts, one of the students involved in the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in 1957, will be the keynote speaker at Hartnell College's third diversity conference, "Mastering the Maze," which will be held Wednesday, April 30, and Thursday, May 1.
His keynote address, "Lessons from Little Rock," will be presented at 12:30 p.m. April 30 in Steinbeck Hall in the College Center.
Roberts, who also is the conference facilitator, was a 15-year-old 11th grader when he joined eight other students to become one of the first nine black students to go to a formerly segregated public high school in Little Rock.
A dozen workshops and forums will be held during the two-day event. Several speakers will address such topics as "Racial Profiling - Myth or Method," "Pulling Up the Root of Racism," "What Does It Mean to be Gay in America Today," "El Teatro Campesino - Theater as Social Action," and "Behind the Scenes in Palestine and Israel: Current Realities in the Middle East."
The conference ends with a May 1 dinner that will feature Taiko drummers, the Men's Black Gospel Choir from Mt. Nebo Church of Salinas, and Brazilian music and dancing.
Workshops, forums and the keynote address are free and open to the pubic.
A conference package - which includes lunch on April 30 and the May 1 dinner - costs $20.
The conference is sponsored by the college's Associated Students, faculty and staff in association with the The Californian.
For more information, call Irene Rasmussen, Hartnell's activities coordinator, at (831) 755-6825.

VPX N.O. SyntheSize Stimulant Creatine Matrix Exotic Fruit - 1.3 lbs. (589g)
VPX N.O. SyntheSize Stimulant Free is the world's most hardcore creatine matrix. Growth Maximizing POST-WORKOUT Formula Contains all 8 EAA's (Essential Amino Acids) including BCAA's proven to increase nitrogen retention and protein synthesis -- vital for muscle growth and repair! Designer Creatines - both di-Na Creatine PhosphateTetrahydrate and COP (Creatinol-O-Phosphate) are literally sucked up by hungry post-workout muscles due to advanced molecular structure. Beta-Alanine Ethyl Ester HCI is a hyper-performance ingredient patented to increase whole body creatine retention of CPT and COP to stay cock-diesel-pumped all day long!
GBB (Gamma-Butyrobetaine Ethyl Ester) and MTB Pump (Magnesium Tanshinoate B) for Nitric Oxide induced lean muscle accrual and repair. Infused with research proven PeptoPro and BPOV for maximum insulin secretion and insulin receptor site sensitivity. Insulin is the most anabolic of all hormones! No carbs, waxy maize starch or sugars needed. 40,000 milligrams of anabolic PROTEIN FRACTIONS in just one serving! Free of cheap carbs, starch and sugar fillers.
NO-Synthesize Highlights:
Satellite Cell Activators for maximal new Muscle Cell Division Hyperplasia! This means larger existing muscle fibers and spliting of these fibers to create totally new muscle. If you're searching for skin-tearing pumps and mind blowing workouts, it's time to step your game up with the NO Shotgun/ NO Synthesize stack. To further capitalize on the incredible muscle pumping, anabolic environment created by NO-Shotgun V3; VPX has formulated NO-Synthesize to enhance post workout recovery and muscle building, thereby fully taking advantage of the hyper-critical post-workout anabolic window.
Synthesize was formulated as the "post-workout" synergist to NO-Shotgun V3. The most notable difference between (pre-workout) Shotgun V3 and Synthesize is, Synthesize does not contain "REDLINE Energy Technology." Because Synthesize contains zero energetic compounds (ie, REDLINE Technology) it can be taken any time of day, even before bed. However, to obtain the greatest possible anabolic gains, VPX highly recommends stacking pre-workout Shotgun V3 with post-workout Synthesize.
This stack contains super potent ingredients that other companies couldn't use because of their lack of scientific sophistication. NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize are the absolute best pre-and-post workout supplements to ever be invented in VPX's state of the art laboratories. Here are just a few revolutionary anabolic-boosting and cell-swelling ingredients that you'll find in the next evolution of pre-and-post workout products – NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize:
While these ingredients are only a fraction of the best vascular-inducing, muscle-building ingredients found in NO Shotgun and NO Synthesize, once you experience the insane episodes of physical intensity, sets that seem like they can go on forever, and muscular pumps that are so powerful you'll think your skin was ready to peel away, you're going to wonder how you ever trained without this stack before. Promotes MASSIVE increases in Insulin without High Glycemic Carbs!

Dan Loeb Isn't Just Betting on Herbalife
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) has had a wild ride over the past three weeks. On the afternoon of Dec. 19, news surfaced that Bill Ackman, manager of Pershing Square Capital, was short selling close to 20% of the stock's outstanding shares. In the next three and a half days of trading, HLF lost a little over 38% of its value as investors learned more of Ackman's allegations that the company was a "pyramid scheme." The stock has, however, bounced back from a Christmas Eve low under $25 a share and now trades just 2.5 percentage points off its Dec. 18 closing price.
Keeping this in mind, much of the positive momentum in Herbalife's stock price can be attributed to two things: new support from other key players in the hedge fund industry, and serious efforts by the company itself to combat Ackman's allegations. Regarding the latter, Herbalife has hired notable investment bank Moelis & Co. to serve as an advisor, and it has also put prominent law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner in its corner.
In terms of support from the smart money, Robert Chapman, manager of Chapman Capital, announced on Dec. 29 that he had close to 35% of his portfolio in the stock. The NYPost also reports that Carl Icahn is "believed to have taken a long position in Herbalife."
Yesterday (Jan. 9), Daniel Loeb and Third Point revealed that they hold "about 8% of Herbalife outstanding stock," adding that it was "acquired mostly during the panicked selling that followed the short seller's dramatic claims" (Here's a full look at Loeb's Q4 investment letter).
Moreover, Loeb explained his bullish thesis on Herbalife, mentioning that the company has "consistent top-line growth," is a market leader, and sports generally attractive earnings growth. It's worth noting that over the past five years, Herbalife has grown its EPS by an average of 28% a year, and over the next half-decade, the sell-side expects annual growth of 15-16%.
From a valuation standpoint, shares currently trade at a forward P/E of 8.7x, and Loeb mentions that "applying a modest 10-12x earnings multiple suggests Herbalife's shares are worth $55-$68." At the time of this writing, shares are trading close to the $41 mark. While there's no telling where this stock will go in the short run--with a bevy of drama to still play out between the company's legal team and Ackman--Loeb's reasoning is sound.
In addition to Herbalife, the fund manager's Q4 letter also mentioned three other companies in particular: Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO). Let's take a brief run through each position, shall we?
Murphy Oil, the oil and gas E&P, was a big position for Loeb at the end of the third quarter, taking the No. 5 spot in his 13F portfolio. All in all, MUR comprises a little over 5% of the money manager's 13F, which is filed with the SEC quarterly (Check out all of Dan Loeb's stock picks here).
Loeb mentioned that in his Q3 letter, he had said Murphy "had many routes to unlock latent, meaningful value, among them -- and most significantly -- a highly accretive spin-off of its retail business." In the time since, the company has announced that it will spin off its U.S. downstream segment, called Murphy USA, which should be finished by the middle of this year.
Moreover, Loeb mentions that "a $1 billion share repurchase program and a $2.50 per share special dividend" are strides in the right direction for Murphy, adding "we expect the company to announce further moves to address its still-depressed valuation, including sales of its Montney asset and 5% stake in Syncrude."
Speaking of the valuation, Murphy Oil currently trades at a forward P/E below 11x and a PEG of 1.05, despite the fact that analysts expect its five-year annual EPS growth (12.0%) to trump chief competitor ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) (2.6%) significantly. Conoco trades at an earnings growth multiple close to 4.0, and is also far more expensive than Murphy on a sales (1.1x) and cash (55.7x) basis. MUR sports P/S and P/C ratios of 0.4x and 8.9x respectively.
Moving on to Morgan Stanley, a financial services company that Loeb says "currently trades at a 20% discount to tangible book," there's a lot to like about it from an investment standpoint. Loeb mentions that Morgan Stanley's investment banking, trading and equity operations "are impressively positioned," and in his opinion, "leadership currently is focused on growing its good businesses."
Earlier this month, we discussed the bank and mentioned that it is "one of the top value plays in the industry." In addition to an attractive book valuation, MS also trades at a forward earnings multiple below 10.0x, and the Street is expecting EPS growth to come in at 14% a year over the next half-decade. This growth rate is above both JPMorgan and Citigroup by a large margin. Joining Loeb in Morgan Stanley are a number of key hedge fund players, including Boykin Curry, Ken Griffin, Steven Cohen and David Tepper, to name a few (see David Tepper's favorite stock picks here).
Last but certainly not least, Tesoro was a new position for Loeb during the fourth quarter, according to his investment letter. While shares of the petroleum refiner are up over 50% since last last August, Loeb says that "Tesoro remains misunderstood by the market [...] current sell-side analyst price targets range from $35 to $84!" The stock currently trades in the $41 range, and sports significantly depressed forward earnings (7.0x) and trailing sales (0.2x) multiples.
In terms of bottom-line growth, which is expected to average 14-15% a year through 2017, a PEG near 0.7 indicates that investors are still undervaluing these prospects. A projected dividend yield of 1.45% is a nice cherry on top as well.

They stood, staring, together for the first time in what felt like centuries. Sansa remembered very clearly the last time she had seen Bran, a thousand years ago. He had been sleeping still, his fall fresh, and she hadn't had the heart to kiss him goodbye. She'd squeezed his hand and whispered her love, then escaped before Arya could see her cry. But he was different now, colder. He was not the curious, excited little brother he had been, but a dark man, with heavy eyes and bad habits. A dark heart.
Rickon was strange as ever, but there was wisdom in his eyes. He looked through Sansa, through the steel exterior and into her lionheart. It made her shiver; every secret she had ever had was plunged by his gaze, every depth was fathomed. She might as well have confessed every sin to him, the way he looked at her. He was strong, and wise and wild.
And Arya? She kept hands tightly to her sides, her face a mask of indifference, so much so that Sansa could have sworn she was as likely to kill them as to kiss them. The woman who stood before her - my sister, Sansa reminded herself - had a countenance that was darker than Bran's, who was more of a curmudgeon than a villain, and the same wild nature as Rickon, but it ran deeper. She spoke with the voice of one who knew her own mind; moved in such a way that every action seemed premeditated. There was something in her step, in her presence, that set Sansa's teeth on edge. The only other time she remembered feeling similarly was when she was alone with the Hound: Fear, but more than that: affection. Arya was her sister, but if Sansa was a lionheart, Bran a darkheart and Rickon a wildheart, it seemed Arya had no heart at all. There was no love in her eyes, no mirth in her smile and no gentleness in her touch. She simply was and was nothing.
