| Only an absolute newbie would lose an LLL.com in a UDRP unless they're really out of luck and end up with a horribly biased panelist...
Simple as this:
1. Don't park it (LLL.us, .org, etc make zero parked anyway, so not really a downside if we're comparing here)
2. Develop it. You're sitting on a $7000+ domain here, treat it with the respect it deserves! I'm in the process of developing my 2 LLL.coms and not just because it insulates me from potential UDRPs ("legitimate use"), but also because it allows me to profit from my investments, which is why we all invest now isn't it?
3. Don't be stupid enough to go and make it obvious you registered (and/or are using) the name in bad faith... "Hello Ryerson International, I am writing to you because I own RYI dotcom and was wondering if you'd be interested in making an offer on this domain name which I noticed happens to be your stock ticker. <<< NO NO NO NO NO >>> So yes, a bit of a disadvantage there because you could probably get away with (eg. not worth paying the UDRP over) making that same email and getting a few sales that way with the .net, .org, .etc.
I prefer LLLL.coms to LLL.coms for the main reason that I can solicit offers with no risk of repercussions, however LLL.coms do have their place in my portfolio and should have a place in any serious domain name investors portfolio, imho. We can say what we want about LLL.us, LLL.org, LLL.net, etc but the bottom line is that when shit hits the fan, an LLL.com is there, ready to be cashed in almost immediately at 100% market value... Try falling on tough times with a portfolio of LLL.net, LLL.org, LLL.us, etc and I think you'll realize the very important role LLL.coms play in this market.
