Several newsletter and blog readers have requested daily links to sites, articles or thoughts I come across. Therefore I will start a "Worth A Click" post of similar themes to my newsletter: retail, tech and finance. I can't promise this daily and can't promise the amount of content. I won't waste your time if something isn't worth a click and do promise to give you my view. Without further ado, here is the "Worth A Click" for 4/7/16:
