How Long Should You Keep a Brandable Domain?
For some domain name investors, brandable domains can be very lucrative. The popularity of brandable names among investors has helped create marketplaces such as BrandBucket, BrandPa, and SquadHelp, which cater to brandable names.

In this discussion, an investor is wondering how long brandable investors should consider holding specific brandable names before allowing them to expire, given the accumulatively large holding costs of brandable names.
