Look what the NY Times had to say 10 years ago

Found this article posted on the NY Times website roughly 10 years ago. It's about domains, the prices and the auctions. It's a great read about the good old days :P

Straightforward names are the most valuable, Mr. Schwartz said. ''It should be easy to spell, easy to remember and have a direct association with product you are trying to sell,'' said Mr. Schwartz, who decided to forgo marshmallow.com because there is little money to be made with the confection.

That's what deserves to be called an investment!
