I think over the last few years many large inverstors diversified the portfolio and some invested in domains early.
As far as on the domaining side...if your domains are realted to sub prime lending its not such a good think now.
However I have seen a big increase in my "foreclosure" related names. I suspected this incident would happen when the housing market bubbled and I bought a lot names with "city"+foreclosures . net / org.
I also went after some names related to "foreclosure auctions" because they are going to start auctioning off the foreclosed properties.
