As one of the ‘Western-friendly’ countries in the Middle East, many of the companies setting up a base there are from the UK, the US and Canada. However, just because the Dubai government welcomes foreign businesses doesn’t mean that a new company is going to be an instant success. One of the best ways to break into a new market is through B2B networking and believe it or not, this is relatively strong in Dubai.

By: Investment_U
Zachary Scheidt writes: Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) is one of the best growth stocks of our generation. Over the last 10 years alone, revenues have grown from $6.3 billion to more than $80 billion per year. Yet despite all the revenue, profits have been absent.

Antiquated Retail Sales Reports
It is obvious that retail sales numbers are going to be awful for eternity because they are antiquated reports that fail to adequately capture the changing consumer trend of shopping online. Practically nobody is going to waste their leisure time going to a physical store when they can save time, gasoline, and easily search for the best price in a matter of minutes versus spending hours driving all over town in search of the best price or deal with mall parking. The Physical store business is dead, unless one needs to get a haircut, or a good grocery delivery business hasn`t yet arrived in your area.

By: Submissions
Ted Baumann writes: It’s been a busy month on the privacy front.
For starters, word got out on August 5 that Russian hackers stole 1.2 billion user names and passwords across several kinds of websites.

And the European Union is poised to counter a U.S. court order demanding Microsoft hand over data stored inside its Irish servers.
