I'm not a portfolio player as I am really playing to my strengths. I play Japan almost exclusively because of language/cultural familiarity and because it is the world's second largest economy by GDP (if looking at market exchange rates, #3 if looking at PPP). Japan also is highly networked, decently tech savvy, and already has an online advertising industry (Yahoo, Google, and MSN and others). in other words, Japanese traffic is readily monetizable with Japanese language advertising and it is pure gold. My developed Japanese domains are performing slightly above breakeven today and thus pay for my entire IDN portfolio.

I also dabble in other languages. I have a good quality collection of Thai (50+) and a small okay quality collection of Hindi (20+) and a few Vietnamese cities and provinces (10+)
