If you have been into domain investing for at least 12 months are you more or less optimistic about your business today compared to when you started?
With the sales you continually make, yeah you should be!! Great stuff Brad!I am more optimistic about my own portfolio.
I went for a walk this morning and passed through a nearby park. In the parking lot facing toward a busy street corner was a large truck with an ad for a gutter service. They were using the truck to promote their business. The truck likely cost them easy $30-$40k, the 1-800 number likely costs hundreds of dollars annually and they had a three-word .Com domain. Ok I would never target gutter cleaning or installation service domains but businesses spend serious money on advertising. 25 years after the internet became mainstream most of them still see little reason to spend more than reg fee on a domain name.
I am more optimistic about my own portfolio.
I am less optimistic when it comes to new investors being able to compete with current auction prices.

I somehow missed this thread and didnt voted. I am more optimistic this year compared to last year and will most likely beat my income in 2020. I had only one enduser sale(600$) in 2020 which was my second year in domaining compared to three in my first year in 2019(799$) but I had 5 liquidation sales(410$) in 2020 compared to 0 in 2019. So I had managed to beat my income in 2019 so I am more optimistic to do better this year. I mostly did handregs or buy godaddy closeouts. This year I have different plan, No paydays for me this year, will only reinvest in better domains.
Holy cow. Gary!I voted more optimistic as I've never sold one since I started nearly 3 years and it can't get any worse for me personally. It can only get better. Had a low ball offer about 18 months ago on one name but nothing since. Just as well I don't rely on it as an income and more of just a hobby and something to do in my spare time. Everything is hand regged so not too much money spent and maybe I'll sell one next year. Hope you all have a productive 2021.

i would vote for less optimistic because no sales for the last month.
