snoop, I'm happily still purchasing mobi's, I'm not alone. I welcome price drops as a result.

Why are you unhappy about this thread being created then?

scandiman said:

labrocca, I'm curious what is the point of this thread exactly? Did you post another thread somewhere else at NP about the 20% drop in LLL.com? If not, I'd categorize this thread as more flame bait.

Judging by the thread title I would think it would be obvious.

We are discussing the latest valuations for LLL.mobi's since the update of 3character.com yesterday. Sorry if this thread isn't happy news about mobi.

If there is flame bait here it's your post. I don't have to justify what I post or where I post it to you. If I feel like discussing mobi till my fingers bled I will. Got that!

I will buy all I can while the market is down and hold for better days!

I don't see any exceptions there...ALL I CAN doesn't mean ...all the premiums I can. No one here buys it. You are a staunch mobi buyer and supporter. The recent evaluations should have you pulling away from buying and SHOULD have you worried about your investment portfolio that you have claimed to be 100% mobi.

judging by the fact I don't recall you posting much if anything about the increases for mobi I sense an ulterior motive, ongoing discrediting of .mobi whenever and wherever you can.

I'm neither happy or unhappy about this "news" since I don't invest in commodity LLL .anything.

I feel a bit silly having to state something so obvious, but it is the exact opposite of your situation,

Some people are .mobi cheerleaders (yourself, keithmt etc).
Some are .mobi naysayers (labrocca, myself etc).

Not much point complaining some people don't like the extension and discredit it, that is obvious.

what do i qualify as?

a realist :imho:

Seriously, I don't get this whole 3character thing at all... The guide is royally off on many values it gives. The guide on .mobi has been messed up for months...

edit: Just took a look at the new guide... Much better than it's been in awhile.

Well if you have read all my comments about .mobi and mTLD in the various domain forums you'd know I'm fairly critical about a lot of things related to .mobi. But nor do I ignore the positives either. I see both the opportunities and the problems related to .mobi. For now the opportunities far outweigh the problems IMO. Maybe at some point that will change, never know.

If someone recognizes the value proposition of .mobi and it's relation to the growing mobile web, AND they are interested in commodity LLL domains then this report is showing good news IMO. That's assuming such a person sees buying opportunities as good news.

I can't get enough investment advice from Warren Buffet, I read a recent quote from him: "If a stock [I own] goes down 50%, I'd look forward to it. In fact, I would offer you a significant sum of money if you could give me the opportunity for all of my stocks to go down 50% over the next month."

Why on earth would he say such a thing? Because he wants to own more of the companies he is invested in and lower pricing makes that easier for him to do. He flocks to what scares other people away.

Time will prove if .mobi can be what I think it can be. No guarantees.

I'm glad to see an admission that people are out to discredit .mobi. Thanks for being honest about it. Still confused why people want to spend their time doing that, there are lots of extensions out there I don't have any interest in but I don't go around beating them up whenever possible. But I respect how you spend your time is your prerogative.

Not sure what you're trying to keep score of but I hope you enjoy yourself doing it.

labrocca said:

How about right here at NP? These sold at the auction just 2 days ago for $1050. That's $65 each as the highest bid. Unfortuanetly seems like seller is pulling out of the deal but that's not the important part. The important part is that mobi enthusiasts weren't all that willing to bid it up higher.

Click to expand...

Well, I'd say that the fact that these LLL.mobi's didn't actually sell for $65 each is an important point...

The seller didn't sell at that price...And, he's posted that he had a higher offer...So, the $65 sale level is not a basis for putting a case about .mobi LLL value...

It also apparently means that some other 'mobi enthusiast' was willing to bid it up higher (albeit after auction), after all.


Another way to look a price fluctuations and value, is to recognise that all markets, in everything, go up and down....Is the fact that the sharemarket is currently down in value mean that investing in shares is a waste of money?....Many would say when the market is down is precisely the time to invest in shares - because they are very likely to recover in value - and profits are to be made...Its only a matter of investment price-timing.


Similarly, with .mobi...

No one argues that prices are not down for .mobi...The real issue is whether you believe that prices for .mobi will recover - and, if so, when - and by how much...

...The rest is just noting passing price fluctuations....Interesting - but not the main game, imo.

...Not much point in complaining about something that belongs to the future, just 'cos you can't see it in your rear-view mirror, either...

I can't get enough investment advice from Warren Buffet, I read a recent quote from him: "If a stock [I own] goes down 50%, I'd look forward to it. In fact, I would offer you a significant sum of money if you could give me the opportunity for all of my stocks to go down 50% over the next month."

Click to expand...

I am not sure Buffet is a good example to base from. He does incredible research before any purchase. Just his investment alone usually will prop a company up. He can also afford to be on any board of directors, take controlling interest, and run the company himself. So..unless one of you can usurp mTLD I don't think that quote does very well for us. And on a side note to this..I think some of you could run mobi better than mTLD.

judging by the fact I don't recall you posting much if anything about the increases for mobi I sense an ulterior motive, ongoing discrediting of .mobi whenever and wherever you can.

My motives are simple. I like to argue. I don't gain monetarily from my argument...I just like to do it. However it's obvious that some here are trying to prop up mobi since they do have a motive...to keep the market alive and save their portfolio's.

Time will prove if .mobi can be what I think it can be. No guarantees.

Click to expand...

Care to go on the record for when that might be? Don't think I won't dig up 5 year old threads to make my points. In years to come when mobi does shake out (one way or another) we have a complete history here of the arguments. I think that's GREAT. We learn from history, our experience and from each other. You can't imho get more fun than that.

I wouldnt exactly call him a cheerleader, Scandi is heavily involved, and a great asset to .mobi....

if anything....I would call Scandiman a team player or captain of a team.

Here is a simple test, look at the sig.

You don't have a link to Why.mobi in your sig so that is a good sign for starters, though you do have something that appears to be reference to .mobi. I'd say about half way between the center and cheerleader.

Definition of Cheer Leader http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cheerleader

Now does this qualify Mjnels? especialy since Mjnels doesn' t have why.mobi in his sig? Or are you assuming Mjnells is a cheerleader.....?

Now could you be a cheerleader yourself for the opposing team? (since we are talking sport terms now, I guess we will call .mobi a sport)....... Are you activly involved with .mobi snoop? (This means owning names...and list the names that you own to confirm Please)

Let me know if I am wrong...but does a cheerleader particpate in the actual game? or does a cheerleader just get the crowd all hyped up?

From my knowledge Mjnels has been been a teamplayer and heavily involved in this (Sport/Game)

The other option is.... are you (snoop) trying to be like Buffet and waiting to buy the names after your cheerleading is done?

Probably a more appropriate definition,

What am I cheerleading for? I'd describe myself as a .mobi naysayer myself,

"someone with an aggressively negative attitude "

"To oppose, deny, or take a pessimistic or negative view of: They will naysay any policy that raises taxes."
