Victory! Amazon Will Collect and Remit Sales Tax in All States With Sales Tax Laws

Victory! Amazon Will Collect and Remit Sales Tax in All States With Sales Tax Laws This story took like 9 years in the making.  Way back when it started, every independent book retailer lost sales online trying to comply with adding sales tax on every sale. This resulted on online book buyers merely going to Amazon as they did not have to pay additional sales tax adding up to the cost of each book. This finally vindicated the fact that no one is above bigger than Uncle Sam. And besides we as taxpayers benefit from paying taxes. It was years of advocacy initiatives with fellows from the American Booksellers Association. Finally, it is done and Amazon will start collecting Sales Tax by April 1, 2017. Nowadays when it's getting much and much impossible to think of profitability in selling books, when even E-Commerce platforms offering advanced website integrations and SEO's do not want to go to books as a category stating it's really so fast moving, cheap pr...

The Elections are Over, now we heal towards change and recovery

Image
We did our parts in spite of the risk even to our own self, safety and integrity. We placed everything on the line because some thing needs to be done. Yet, we were victorious, we were right and we have perservere. Today is a new world, it is time to unite, get over it and live towards the present and the future. Over the so much uncertainties, challenges and opposition beneath the odds change has come to America and soon to be the world. Change is about fundamental values. It needs to come from own individual self. Only when we start to forgive the people that had question us, attack us, mock on us because of our believes can we fully start to feel the healing of repentance. It is just a mere acknowledgement of saying it is done and we have chosen the right man to lead the change. Never before did we see a president that was not afraid of ratings, off traditional politics and most of all the giants of corporate greed. To people that have question me I say, I forgiv...

Is "risk" a friend or foe especially in investment during bullish markets

Image
As the saying goes, if you want to nurture great returns you have to take great risk. which is in the investing world is viewed as the higher the risks, then the assumption is on market volatility. For me, risks is an uncertainty for the fear of loss but it is there if we presume it as a loss then risk does not or will not exist, It is just like in the process of retail and the business model we use at Affordable Books. When buyers and competitors leverage on lower pricing to kill the smaller guy like us, the giants have the thinking that they have prevailed and created a more bigger opportunity for them. So a lot of the small independent sellers like us suffer and sometimes sadly think that the opportunity was not worth the effort all along. So the capitalistic behaviors is immediately "refocus and assess" the business risks and potentials towards viability. However, creatively speaking from an investment perspective point of view, we sometimes think that leverag...
