Forbes Magazine once again rates Nu Skin a buy!

Nu Skin Enterprises ( NUS - news - people ) uses independent representatives to sell premium cosmetics, personal-care products and nutritional supplements. Already established in North Asia, the company continues to penetrate other markets, including South Asia, Europe and North America, which collectively represented 18% of 2008 sales. Most of Nu Skin's revenue comes from direct sales, a form of social networking that Nu Skin claims performs well when consumer spending contracts.

Recent strong operating results suggest Nu Skin's claims have merit. Per-share earnings were up 16% in the first half of 2009. Operating cash flow has risen in each of the past six quarters to support the annual dividend, currently at $0.46 per share. Shares have surged 70% this year, well above the 13% gain registered by the S&P 1500 Index.

But the stock is reasonably valued and could reach $20 over the next 12 months. At 15 times trailing earnings, the shares trade 21% below the industry average and 15% below the company's three-year average. With a performance score of 82 and overall score of 93, Nu Skin is a buy.

Dear Cisco, when criticizing Nu Skin's products to be carcinogenic, etc. you should study your sources http://bit.ly/VExq4 and see what they exactly write - I know exactly what Nu Skin's ingredients are. Thats why I and many other have chosen this company and their products.
