[James Webb <James.Webb@xtra.co.nz>]

I agree that beauty direct is fatally flawed and no concealer can cover the
blemish.

E-commerce is the 21st Century equivalent of a gold rush, and back last century
(and earlier) in general it wasn't the gold-diggers who got rich.  It was the
guys selling spades and sifts and booze and women.  Beauty direct and other
small-time etailers are the equivalent of the diggers and sifters trying to
scrape for gold.  For my money I'd go with the guys selling the spades.

Cheers, James

Disclaimer: I hold no ecommerce shares, but I'm looking for a spade seller.
