Well, having a business doesn't prove you're making any money.

So, I'd rather just make money and have you call it what ever you want.

I see your :1orglaugh:1orglaugh and raise you :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Totally humorous thread.

Funny stuff

Quote of the day.

Wasn't so hard now, was it :)

Go for it! Those that don't know this pic, on the Costa Rica show I did the horseback riding thing, got a horse with a burr up it's ass to do nothing but gallop full speed, wound up with a LOVELY case of saddle sores up and down my ass cheeks.

Frankly the pic would be perfectly appropriate. Pretty much sums up this fluffer in my book: annoying and irritating pain in the ass but if you don't give it any attention it'll go away soon enough :)

There is nothing more irritating than stupid person with a small amount of education. Clearly you've either taken 1 course in economics that you don't actually understand, read a bunch of books written by other stupid people who think they're smart - or maybe you even have a degree from some back-woods college (cracker-jack box, whatever).

You have said several times that you think people in this thread have trouble differentiating between 'creating wealth' and 'making money' - what is truly pathetic is that you've demonstrated that you are not able to distinguish between the ability to read and regurgitate the words from a text book and the ability to correctly analyze real-world situations and apply knowledge by creating valid, coherent arguments. You mask your lack of real understanding with a talent for the written word.

Your attempts to use metaphors and 'fables' to make your point is a prime example of a stupid person trying to be smart. Please continue to enlighten us with some more apt stories that capture the essence on the domain business.

P.S. - your site is a piece of shit, I hope you got paid by me going there or you really are an idiot.

Why thank you. I wish there was something nice I could say about you in return, but sadly, 2000 or so posts fail to produce anything whatsoever I could cling to. Do stop by again.

your lack of comprehension is what leaves you with nothing to say...

Mikey baby, you've made half a dozen or so content-free posts in this thread, I still don't give a shit about your bloated head, but here's a reply to you so maybe you're finally satisfied and stfu. Thanks.

you start an investment analysis thread only to end with an unoriginal pic of a girl doing a handstand. good job fuckface.

Hahaha. I own some insertion domains that get type-in traffic. I don't even bother with a landing page. I simply send the traffic directly to a sponsor and yield 14 cents per click with it. I pay about 100 dollars per year in reg fees for those domains and they make me over 2 thousand dollars per year.

Yes, that's a pissy little amount, but when you've got the domain portfolios that some of the people in this thread have, then it amounts to a very significant amount indeed.

Sounds about right.

Certainly not. It ammounts to a pissy poor ammount on a different scale. If you put 10M in the lap of the government, they're going to pay you half a million a year. 40k a month, that is.

Calling something an "investment" that barely keeps up with federal bonds, just because you've heard some stories about pies falling from the sky... hehehe. God they crack me up.

wrong I knew those guys and they got $5 million for it.

we owned a small domain called webtv.com eventually that also got bought for big big bucks.

Not many people have 10 mil to invest, and some people who claim to have such money to invest use it as more of a way to get responses than anything else. How much is the government going to give you for $100 or even $1000 investment?

Anyways, while you've got it all figured out and have the domaining world at its knees, how much money are you making doing whatever it is your doing?

We wish you luck :). However, you've been at it for couple decades now almost, haventcha. Much longer ?

Isn't this verbiage strikingly reminescent of each and every Ponzi scheme since Ponzi himself ?

O boy, just hang on in there, and o boy aren't you bothered you didn't get in early.

I'm sure some of the people that got in real early made some money. Not the sort of money they claimed AT THE TIME, but maybe not far off. Nowhere near the sort of money people claim today.

The entire "business"/scam depends on there being more and more and ever more idiots with tons of cash that buy into this scarcity theory. While there's always plenty of idiots, there's not always plenty of idiots with arbitrary ammounts of cash falling off of them.

And as the "smart investors" that took credit to dump the money into imaginary "real estate" start getting the interests squeezed out of them, more and more incredibly great deals are going to pop up, and for incredibly low prices. Which will keep halving every month till all the puff is squeezed out of this play-pretend market.

About five to ten times more than what you will get out of parking the very valuable domain name those dollars would buy you.

Apparently, enough.
