Domain investment strategies - Portfolio diversification vs specialization

[Venga]

Portfolio diversification being the golden rule of investment, how much specialization is advisable when it comes to domain names? Beside that knowing your sector helps, do you feel having a theme-based portfolio is an advantage or rather a potential handicap?

 

[Jeff]

I feel that there are certain "themes" in which the deviation from the standard practice of diversification MAY be acceptable (after thoroughly researching all aspects) ... and that is concentrated in the arena of Geo and centralized around the .COM's (with an added emphasis on developments), IMHO. :gl:

All the best,
Jeff

Of course it helps to know the industry your domains are related to. I think it is an advantage to own a portfolio of keyword domains where you were extremely knowledgeable of the keywords. But:

I think what's most important is that you have keywords that are featured in hundreds of developed domains.

There is a disease here with people arbitrarily hand-regging domains in bad extensions that don't get search volume.
