Introduction
Donal Trump's talk of tariffs caused USA investors initially to sell anything connected with China particularly hard yesterday. One bright spot was Secoo Holdings (USA Chinese listed ADS stock), its share price was up on a terrible day for world market indices.
Last September, Secoo raised $144 million in an IPO with the shares priced at $13. The first trading day saw the share price finish nearer to $10. A few weeks later the shares fell even further to $7. IPO maybe was overpriced or not simply not believing management's rhethoric.
