I guess buying domain names has become a hobby of mine. Well, an expensive one to enjoy right now but hopefully bringing generous ROI (return On Investment) in the future.

In other words, investing in good domains is like investing in the property market, with the difference that domain names only go up in value and not down. With the fast paces the Internet is running ahead and new websites jumping into the wild every day, I don’t see a logical reason why the graphic trajectory of domains prices should change its upward direction.

If you have a reason to believe domain names will start going down in value, I would love to hear it. I’d bee surprised if I received any reply about that.

My advice – buy, buy, buy! Now! Domains I thought were too long or ugly sounding years ago, now command prices I’ve never imagined one could ask …and get.

What is a good domain? Ideally a 4-5 letter .com domain. Well, these are long gone and the prices are just too much for an individual to access. Large corporate sharks normally operate in these cyberwaters where domains fetch prices in the region of tens of millions.

See my point? Go get some domains now.

Много хубав празник. Дори и когато не съм имал повод за празнуване, Гергьовден си е бил приятен ден пълен с емоции (вечерта най-вече). Сега когато си имаме малко именниче този хубав ден се осмисля напълно и дава прекрасен повод за “зацапване на свещите” .

Window Cleaning and Carpet Cleaning

All the best to everyone! Keep on rockin’, rollin and carpet cleanin’.

I cabbie told me of a professor in finance who was talking on TV the other day. The guy had calculated that if the Government had given £100,000 to every legally working UK taxpayer 2 years ago (when small amounts of shit started to hit the US fans) the following results would have been achieved:

• No recession – imagine what a boost – everybody with a £100k in his bank account!!!
• No financial crisis – banks would have had tons of money to lend to whoever needed it
• Unprecedented economy growth
• £27b saving to the kind of money the Government had already spent to help the UK economy

If they could only had crystal balls…
