Hello,

You can just call me Pete.
I'm a domain aficionado, and my main goal, as the majority here, is to get money, or at least a good long term investment. Of course, being new to this place I have tons of questions, such as:
- What tools do you usually use to probe trends?
- Did you already have any trademark problems? And did it result in lawsuits?
- Did you already invested in a domain name from a cultural niche perspective, ie, the numeric domains chinese investors love? And if so, were you able to sold it? How long did you hold it?

Thanks

Hello!

I tended to acquire domain names years ago in niche areas that were of personal interests, not necessarily investment interests.

Also occasionally acquire a name that intrigues me in a perceived emerging type marketplace or, the always present common rookie urge to just " buy a name " surfaces and takes $8.95 out of my wallet in exchange for another new name to list at a BIN price.


Trademarks - always on the watch for infringements prior to acquiring a domain name, precisely because am fundamentally honest and also want to avoid unnecessary legal entanglements and have done so for over 23 years or so.

Hello Pete, and welcome to NamePros. You can find answers to your questions by reading through the threads here on the site. Also, DN Journal http://dnjournal.com and Domain Name Wire https://domainnamewire.com are good sources of information about trends in the industry.

Best of luck in your new venture.

Hi Pete .. and welcome to NamePros! :)

I can't say I actively search for new trends .. every now and then I see something on the news about a potential future-tech and I jump to handreg related term(s) .. never really panned out, although from the start I consider those lotto tickets (happens maybe 2-3 times a year though)

Never had trademark issues .. although I've read up quite a bit on the subject and actually don't even feel it's right at all so I just avoid it. A couple of times I grabbed one with the intent of giving it to the obvious enduser .. but I never have the time and end up just dropping it a year later! lol

Good luck moving forward in the world of domains! :)
