StockTradingAlert.com is not terrible.

It's not good but it's not terrible. I could see some limited development potential with this rule breaker. After all, rules WERE made to be broken. Reg fee on this and zero on the others. IMO.

Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that this is a FREE appraisal. This is a guess at quick flip resale value not an unrealistic end-user price. Often times my appraisals are rushed, too low, or too high. Sometimes my advice is totally wrong and occasionally downright dumb. If the post stamp is after 5:00pm EST, the chances are even greater that inaccuracies will occur due to blood alcohol levels.

The best advice a newbie can get is simple.
Try to buy domains that are the same as terms people actually search for.
The more people searching for a given term, the more likely a domain with exactly those keywords is to have value to other people. Obviously, the best terms are gone, the second best terms are gone, the third best terms are gone... But with diligence, you will stumble across decent names for reg fee.

DO NOT look around at the sort of names others are buying and say "Gee, if someone is buying names like that, maybe I should too!" In "domaining", 90% of participants haven't a clue. Tey codify their 'big ideas' with an $8 domain purchase, only to eventually let it lapse when reality sets in.

Of the 10% who do have a clue, maybe half of them are actually making any money on 'domains' alone.

Once you've mastered this, you can 'get a bigger net' and start snagging brandable type names that might have resale value, but to be honest, most people never even arrive at step one to eventually progress on to step 2. They're stuck at Step 0, continually pumping their money into Godaddy to purchase garbage that does nothing other than to allow Bob Parsons to buy really expensive wristwatches.
