So I was reading the report from T.R.A.F.F.I.C on DNJournal and I did a double take. Read the paragraphs below:
Gardner told me he was a fan of small cap stocks (which have returned 18% annually in recent years) and that he was going to close his speech by making a prediction of success for a domain world equivalent of a small cap stock. Just before he got up to to go to the podium, he told me that because of the explosion of video on the Internet .tv would be his pick for future price appreciation. I didn’t get a chance to tell him that the .tv registry keeps most of the potential profit from .tv domains by charging extremely high annual renewal prices for what they classify as “premium” domains.
When Gardner closed his speech with the prediction of stardom for .tv and started taking questions from the audience I got up and asked him if he knew about .tv’s unique pricing structure. Without skipping a beat, Gardner looked out at the audience and said, “Did I tell you how much I like .info!?” That drew a raucous round of laughter, one of many he earned with the charm and wit he displayed throughout the evening.
Tom is correct and the fact that their is a premium cost to some of the key word .tv, that doesn't take away what he sees as the pick for future price appreciation.
We have spoken about this on other posts so we don't need to go into detail here, but for example I just registered fur.tv for $225.00, How much would Fur.com cost me today? The fact that I will have to pay a renewel fee every year of $375.00 does not lessen it's value! So if I were to sell the domain for $20,000 I can subtract 10 years of registration and still make a very nice profit.
In any case I would Quote Tom Gardner and send out a press release. .TV is the biggest secret to internet gold on the market today!
