You're right about improving a portfolio and taking advice and hints from successful domainer from news and trends etc. But you have to be conservative in your selections. Most of the domains you registered may not prove such a smart purchase. but some are ok (the net/org) although too bad the .com is taken.

SmartGlasses.co.com (Your purchase here is not a domain, it is a subdomain) so almost useless for resale.

Nothing easier than going nuts with domain registration when you hear of a sale, worse when it is done due to an April's fool prank. You have to be more careful unless you have money to burn.

I was actually surprised HDSmartGlasses.com was even available...definitely the best one on the list that i picked up in my opinion. Don't care if it was an April Fool's joke or not...in my opinion it was gift from the "King"...thanks "King"!
