How Often Do You Change Your Opinion?

Posted on 28 October 2013 by Andrei

I often hear people say things like “once I make up my mind about something, nobody can stand in my way” as if it’s somehow a good thing. As a domainer, it’s not. Quite the opposite.

If you’re never willing to change your opinion (not even when confronted with overwhelming evidence), you’ll inevitably end up losing money for one simple reason: because you’re not allowing yourself to think rationally and, instead, are letting emotions take over.

You Can Be Right and Still Lose Money

Posted on 27 October 2013 by Andrei

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that as a domainer or let’s say as an investor in general, all you have to do is “be right” or in other words, figure out what will happen. Unfortunately for them, they forgot to take one very important thing into consideration: timing.

Understanding the World’s Current Financial Situation

Posted on 25 October 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, I can’t stress this enough: it’s in your best interest to understand the world we’re living in so that you can position yourself accordingly.

Most countries made huge mistakes, they spent money they didn’t have on things they didn’t need. Countries, citizens, almost everyone wanted to live beyond his/her means.

Posted on 22 October 2013 by Andrei

In my opinion, there are three important possibilities when it comes to the worldwide economy. We might have economic prosperity (positive scenario), deflation (negative scenario) or inflation (negative scenario).

Murphy’s Laws and Domaining

Posted on 20 October 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, it makes sense to be prepared liquidity-wise. In other words, to always have at least a little bit of capital ready in case unexpected opportunities arise.

Why?

Negativity = Bad Idea

Posted on 18 October 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, I honestly doubt everything will always happen the way you want it to.

Some sales materialize, some don’t.

Some business relationships work out, some don’t.

Some investments end up being profitable, some don’t.

Most Investments Aside from Domains Aren’t Attractive

Posted on 17 October 2013 by Andrei

I know the title is kind of harsh but think about it:

Stocks are ridiculously overpriced. I’m not saying they can’t go up for another year or two but that’s hardly what I’d call a decent investment. A short-term speculative opportunity perhaps but nothing more.

Sedo GreatDomains October Starting Tomorrow

Posted on 16 October 2013 by Andrei

I’d say this month’s inventory is average, nothing special.

A few excellent domains but with reserves on the high side, a few reruns (domains they auctioned in the past but which didn’t sell), a few reasonably priced domains and so on.

Not bad but not impressive either.

Someone who works in the construction industry should always pay attention to hazards which are specific to that line of work.

The same thing goes for athletes, health professionals, you name it.

Why Do Some Domainers Use Private Whois?

Posted on 14 October 2013 by Andrei

Never quite understood this.

Their domain is listed as for sale at one venue at the very least, so it’s clear they want to sell and not develop, yet they use private whois.
