Return on Investment. It’s a term I use now more than I used to. Because the market is moving so fast that its the only way to measure how and when to invest in a name. The goal of domain name investing is making money. You can measure it in profit dollars generated or you can measure it in how much money you invested and how much you got in return with that money.
Do you buy 1000 names at $8 reg fee and sell for $15 or do you buy a safer $8K name and sell for $12K? Those are your opportunities. I don’t claim to say one is better than another but I know which one I feel comfortable with. And in today’s market its both. The portfolio now contains big batch purchases and some larger one word dot com investments. And its paying off. But you have to find what works for you. But do me a favor, don’t pretend like the person that is doing it the opposite of you is not as smart as you. Because you may very well be wrong.
PS. Not one person offered me a domain to buy. I won’t bite. Give me a shot. I have cash. Here are today’s names. Click for current prices.
PS: Good luck to all you East Coasters. One hell of a storm. Call me if you need me to bring my snow plow across the country and plow you out

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. (if you have trouble with the contact form its shane@ this domain name) I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good investments
Good creativity “CHiPestern”.
Are you still buying 5N .com?
Abdul,
Yes. I probably should be working the bottom but I have started looking for more expensive good patterns, buying just a few
Thanks for the update. That’s great and I can see all 5Ns getting into five figs easily by the end of this year.
You are right Shane, the goal of Domaining is to make money. Period. Everyone has different methods to achieve this end goal. The Economy is not a zero sum game, working smart and doing the legwork will yield good results. Liquity has dramatically improved recently for good Domains, but you still have to make it dead-simple easy for potential buyers to contact you.
LOL – “Backdoor.me Worst license plate ever”
All about pinyin babyyyy. Nice list today shane.
