- corporateslave5 7y agoNah I worked on that credit card data. Once everyone has it the value disappears really fast. It’s a sexy way to do analysis, but within a few years it will just be another data point. The big money is made in understanding how a companies new innovative business arms are doing and where the promise of those lays. That’s where talking to the ceo tells you what’s going on. The big money is made in long term bets, not short term credit card predictions
