It's a great time to get those valuable domains and ya might wanna be quick -- the recession might end by the end of the year

Underline: MIGHT

 

[Steven]

oh... Bernanke

:S

Might be the opposite. Invest wise, recession is going nowhere this year. US in deeper economic trouble.

-B of Bank of America. Stocks<hit bottom low> yet to come.

recession MIGHT end this year?
hahaha.......................
I don't think I will bet on the possibility that it MIGHT happen.
but who knows.............

I don't see the recession ending this year. This is not some normal recession, there are deep fundamental issues at the heart of this one. This however is a time when long term you can find the best deals. Invest wisely is always a good motto in good or bad times.

For whatever reason, i've always been better with the stock market as opposed to making money in or through domaining.
I just bought Citigroup shares last week, and so far, have made more with them, as i've made through domaining since arbitrage was outlawed.
Is the market poised to come back? Yes, the question is just when. I think that any euphoria is premature, we're far away from what i'd call an end to the recession. At the same time though, the current administration cannot afford any more large corporations to fail, or the administration itself becomes untrustworthy based on their promises.
Bottom line, if chosen wisely, the stock market holds, at current, more potential than any domain.
Reason: For end users/advertisers to regain the funds needed to continue to invest in their own branding (i.e domains) or increase their advertising budgets, would mean that their share values increase alongside and thus, provide an earlier/quicker profit than when counting on the possibility that the target company would invest in a domain or advertising keyword.

This may be a bit twisted to read, but i think that the fiscal logic behind it, would be easy to follow?

Eh, I don't think the recession has even begun yet. Our government has made no effort to actually cover all of the money they just threw down the toilet. All they have done is temporarily propped up bankrupt companies that are built around broken business models with virtual money, funds they have not actually had to produce.

Given that tax revenue will decrease this year and next, they will have to generate new funds by 1) Printing money, which drives inflation 2) Increasing taxes, which will result in decreased production and layoffs as companies shift jobs oversees or oversees based companies squeeze out American based companies.

This is going to get brutal, IMO. JMO, though, and I could be hugely off target!!

I disagree with this. I also have a lot of stock market experience and know the long term value of these oversold stocks is obvious. However, unlike stocks I can routinely get 20-50x what I paid for a domain on an end user sale.

Domains have a higher upside if you have a system that works. But that will not work for everyone.

Completely agree. Would rep you, but it won't let me.

I agree - hence i said, "At Present"

Once we're (the USA) back on track, domains will be the way to go again. Right now, domains of high(er) value are a long term investment that's inevitably bound to the fiscal performance of the end user. During this time, the PPC values are down, advertising spending is limited/reduced and there's simply a "faster buck" in stocks, if played correctly.

However, Brad is inherently right. Domains yield higher returns under normal circumstances. At the same time though, I believe we can all agree on that these are anything but normal times right now.

Or you could be exactly on point.

Some of you Obama domain opportunists may want to look into keywords like "depression" and "greatcrash".

The current uptick has SUCKER RALLY posted on all the stock charts.

In case anybody is interested, SRS ($65) is a stock symbol you may want to become familiar with. Immediately familiar with.

Here's hoping it does end this year. Then we can party like it's 1999!

I agree 100%. We ain't seen nothing yet.

 

[nrmillions]

i think it could last for several more years. bernanke is most likely telling people it will end this year to get people investing in the stock market again to drive up the stock market. investors always listen carefully to everything he says and each word he says can have a major impact on the markets.

 

[jeffoverman]

imo things are going get worse before they get better.

cash is king and yes its great to be a buyer on things but dont chase things. worldwide recession worries imo and im not buying into this fake market rally, i know a lot of people shorting things and bad news on credit card topics today.

tread carefully imo and come out with a game plan.

 

[Traveler]

tread carefully imo and come out with a game plan.

Great advice! I'm not putting any stock in the market "rally" either. There were rallies during the great depression and back then the fundamentals were more sound than they are today imho. :yell: There is a bottom to this stock market, but I for one don't think we have seen it just yet.

Bernanke was talking about the eastern hemisphere, China and the like- they will be on the up by the end of the year. :gl:- the US is down the toilet for some time to come.

Yuan/Renminbi- the currency of choice. :wave:

Yuan/Renminbi- the currency of choice. :wave:

I sure would take the yuan over the dollar any day of the week. It is a sad day for America when that is the reality.

There have been a lotta things swarming around the US since the year 2000 -- the wars, the bailouts, the national budget -- and now we're stuck where we are. Yeah, we could print more money but... what good would that do? Each bill will lose in value since there wouldn't be as much gold etc. backing the other notes up. Yes, we are in a recession and the idea that it'll end anytime remotely soon is but a grand illusion. It sucks for just about everyone but I think it pays off for a selected few -- namely domain investors. Eh that's not much for compensation but nevertheless, it's a good time to buy if you're smart on your purchases. I've seen LLL.com's sell for around $3,000 lately. A year or 2 back, they'd have sold for $6-8k each easily. I plan on making at least one or 2 good purchases (possibly LLL.net's) and holding them for awhile. It can't rain all the time; the sky won't fall forever. We'll clear this hurdle and some of us will have something good just waiting to happen

You do realize there is no gold standard and there has not been one for a long time. Dollars are not backed by gold at all, not even a little bit. That is why the government can't print all the money they want. Every time in history that a government is able to print money as they want without any backing that money or currency very quickly becomes worthless. Fiat currencies have never stood the test of time.
