Domain name investors do not give up
Looking back in the domain name articles we have written we reported the fall of domain name hedgers Time to Buy?.
No investment can withstand the masses
One nice fact that comes with getting a little older is the afforded luxuries of seeing history repeat itself though never the same way twice. Looking at anything that the masses Joe consumer gets into leads to a bust or correction of that investment, real estate, gold and yes domain names.
The DailyDomainer reports a bust
There are a lot of places that report on the popular world of domain name investing like DNJournal Hype and the DailyDomainer Reality and of these two there is a vast difference between the way they report on the domain name investment world and we thought we should share ways to separate the domain name hype from the domain name reality.
Realization of domain names
What we all need to understand is that domain names are involved with technology and technology is ever changing and so are the ways that you can make money like there is no opportunity to just buy a name hold it for a few months then sale it for profit known as domain flipping or buying a domain name and using it as a parked page where you share revenue through people clicking on the advertisements on the page sharing 1/2 of the revenue with one of the top three search engines because today search engines block or hide parked pages.

Large organizations dumping domain names
One investor’s loss is another investors gain just like with the sock market one person sells a stock believing it is going to go down and the other person buys the stock believing it is going up. Ireit is rumored and confirmed to be selling over 10,000 domain names on the open market but their timing when the world is in a downturn in regards to economics and when the world is headed from a minus savings to a savings world saving more spending less puts the odds that the domain names being sold at a risk and the odds of them being dumped in the dropped domain clubs highly likely.
Making money in a down market
For the few that have been like Logic buying domain names never selling them for over 11 years at Viper Names in a great opportunity to buy some really great names but there is a problem today in order to make money with domain names today you are going to need to develop them into a real business or product like we do at Viper Logic.
What else is at issue is the amount of domain names Viper Names owns. We own more names today then we intend to develop so we are not buyers of domain names unless they are really the best of the best and fit our growth or they are developed into money making web sites already.
