A couple of weeks ago I wrote a follow-up to my original article about Blyth (NYSE: BTH) and why I thought the stock could make a parabolic move higher. When I wrote this article, it was my belief then as it is now that Blyth shares could make a parabolic move higher if the right catalyst materialized. I listed some potential catalysts, but each one I listed involved factors that made it hard to know if they (company stock buyback, shadow insiders/MLM reps purchasing shares) were actually occurring. In that article I used the Porsche/Volkswagen saga as an example of what can happen, but I did not discuss the potential of that exact scenario of a strategic/institutional buyer entering the picture as the catalyst for the move higher because I had no reason to think of that as a likely occurrence with Blyth. In the days since that article was published I have learned otherwise, as it appears that the company CVSL (OTCBB: CVSL) is making open market purchases of BTH stock and that they have indicated an interest in building that into a "substantial" stake in Blyth. Below is an excerpt from a Columbus Dispatch writer's interview with Mr. Rochon (click here to read the full CVSL article) that was posted to the CVSL website:
