XR is still in speculation territory. There's no market for it.... but that hasn't stopped me from buying names (reg fee and a backorder here and there). I'm big on aesthetics when it comes to how I invest in names. It has to look right, sound right, feel right. But feelings don't translate to domain sales- Market indicators do and right now there isn't much there for a buy out. But there is clear indication that XR is moving in the right direction but it's not enough to go reggin en masse imo. I bought some solid hand regges early and 2 or so premium back orders. Even as things are looking up now though- I'm not buying anymore. I rather wait, let a market establish (if it ever does) and buy from the aftermarket but that's just one strategy.
Anyways, I think there's a very small opportunity here as it stands but I personally wouldn't give the advice to newbies to go down this road. Especially when VR is a better investment and AR is right around the corner. Still room to make profit but expectations should be tempered and realistic. This will be no VR. Especially as AR is next at bat. (I'll be writing a a post on movement I'm seeing in AR from my software soon) But a few XR names won't kill ya.
Therein lies the conundrum. Email offers are not sales. If no one is selling then there is no sales data floating around hence no real market being established. A thriving market involves active buyers and sellers. There's already sales data floating around for AR. People have a sense of what to target. It's starting to emerge. Until XR reaches that basic level it's a big gamble.
But I believe a particular subsection of names will do especially well in it. Hence why I bought a handful of names.
