Will Pettifogging be the New Covfefe? Impeachment Word of the Day

Posted on by 2 Comments

In last nights late, late, late closing of the first day of the US Impeachment Trial of President Trump, a squabble ensued between the two groups of counsels.  The presiding officer, John Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court – in his only real insertion into any of the days events beyond process – reminded both groups of counsels to “remember where you are”.

Decorum is to be upheld in the Senate, meaning at its core, respectful behavior towards to and in between Senators, Witnesses, Council and Staff. The guideline is Senators avoid speaking in a manner, and using language … Read the rest

Domain Investing on the Margin. Available doesn’t mean flip-able.

Posted on by Leave a Comment0

How to know if the name you’ve picked is best name available. Registered Does Not Mean Valuable, And Available Doesn’t Mean Flip-able.

How does a customer tell what the best name available is for their website. How do investors decide what they can buy and flip. Right now you have to guess. As an investor or a business or website owner, you simply can guess a good name, and see if its available. That can lead to some wrong conclusions.

As an investor, we are up over 150,000,000 domain names but the domain name market is not a perfect market, … Read the rest

Zelle, Godaddy Logo, Misc Domain Notes from Page Howe

Posted on by 1 Comment

Zelle is the Paypal/Bitcoin killer.

For the past 4 years I’ve watched as improvements have been made to the ACH payment system.   Transfers from Paypal moved to 1 day in the few years, a great improvement. So one of the benefits of Paypal and Bitcoin are the fast transfer (well not so much with BTC anymore). But you knew the banks would have an answer. The answer is Zelle.  I’ve used it for personal transfers where I knew the other side of a domain transaction… now I use it with my business account.

And, like Paypal at the start, there … Read the rest

Big Name Hunting – City Domain Names

Posted on by 1 Comment

Some investors apply the term GEO domains to anything with a city name in it. For me pure Geodomains are the names of states, cities and counties and places.

Here is some work we have done recently on the Pure US City Domain Names you can buy right now.

Domain Name Investing Tips

As we begin a new year, I’d ask you what are you trying to with your portfolio? What are you intentionally trying to accomplish?  If your not operating with some plan, I feel you may have an uphill climb in being successful in domain names.

Before I address diversification versus focus or theme investing; lets take a look at what happens if you don’t have a plan.  My summation after being around the industry for 20 years, is that without a plan, you can end up buying higher than you should, selling low and at the … Read the rest
