Whats going on with BEAUTY? I have 50000 shares and the December rev numbers for Beauty are astonishingly bad. Should I hang in there until this China trade deal has time to take hold? Seems like they get a lot of sales from Chinese buyers.
By the way…you guys are AWESOME!! You are the only way I can get current info on my Thai stocks.

Not a recommendation as I haven’t done a valuation on them for a while, however thoughts are 1) Trade deal doesn’t directly impact BEAUTY 2) Yes a lot of purchases made at their stores in Thailand were/are chinese buyers. 3) The issue is the growth potential going forward for BEAUTY given its high base of sales in 2017.
