Do This Now:
Travel:
- A new trans-atlantic route – Hartford, Connecticut’s Bradley Airport to Dublin.
- Qatar introduces 96 hour free transit visa.
Miles and Points:
- Doctor of Credit reports on a rumor that American Express may try to compete with the Chase Sapphire Reserve. It could be as early as Q4 (which starts in 3 days..). This could turn into a very lucrative year for folks in the miles and points game!
- MJ on Travel is making a change. We wish him well, and will certainly look for him on Travel Update.
Reselling
- Matt’s got a great post on ROI and when you should and shouldn’t use it for decision making.
- Matt had another post income tax, of particular interest is the impact inventory does (or rather does not) have on it.
- A discussion on long tail products. Oren shows how he made a significant return, and he only had to hold the product for 7 months. Its not bad for a subset of products, but too much would tie up capital for too long.
Thanks for the mention. It’s been a journey. Now, on to a new one.
