Yep, some of us are now going to have to actually publish content on our sites! OK, I’ll agree that parking has -for now- lost its glitter, but don’t confuse that to mean that domaining has.

The current economic uncertianty is exactly WHY you bought domains to begin with! You wanted an investment that is not subject to property tax, vandals, trespassers, zoning ordinances and/or leaky toilets, didn't you? As a reminder, you wanted to sleep better knowing that demand is guarantted to go up while supply is guaranteed to go down. You wanted an investment that will continue to make money long after you die. What does the current economic situation have to do with any of this? All points are still true and your domain is still worth more than the $10 you invest annually. If so, then what's the fuss? I strongly suspect that your sudden feeling of uncomfort is originating elsewhere in your financial portfolio -- not from your domain collection.

Menius - certainly a lot more people looking. Will the companies still be paying a lot for clicks though? Hard to tell. Personally, I don't think job losses will get out of hand. M.

Panic never got anyone anywhere. last week you could buy wachovia for 15 cents, today it's $6.50! Best deals are in stocks right now. Those that buy underpriced stocks and assets today will be laughing in 5 years time. Your plan is a good one. Good luck to you, and anyone else who shares a winning mindset.
