Are 5L domains worth investing into?

[Tarabasa Domains Ltd]

Are 5L domains bound to sell, even if they don't spell out a particular word? What is it that makes them valuable
Or would it be a waste of money to invest
All opinions appreciated
Thanks

I got 4 words for you. "The hype is over."

Some are brandable. Most are ugly and useless. And of course the best were registered long ago.

Well, if you talk about JHFSK.com and sh*t like this, they're useless and a waste of money.
But there are many 5L.com with a pronounceable and catchy pattern which are brandable and, somehow, valuable. However, it's quite rare, as karjren stated, the hype is over.
