At $98 a barrel I shorted OIL and covered at $90 decent profit. I had a friend who was short gold I was not angry, Come short my commodity what are you doing, I could care less about Gold because I was not trading it. No money at risk why would I care what he does with his money ? I understand people with a vested interest but unless there is a short .mobi ETF coming out who cares what other people do with their money? IMO |
xnx, great question and wonderful analogy....
I believe, that perhaps, several don't want to see this new popular kid, MOBI, further interfere and mitigate their future 2008, 2009, 2010, ... non-dotcom sales.
Certain people under the disguise of "constructive criticism" have the motive to make MOBI look bad because they consider MOBI an increasing threat to their already established domain investments and PPC income. They certainly don’t want to lose any visitors/income/attention to MOBI and the more a new extension, like .mobi becomes successful, the more it will be the subject of their constant libelous attacks.
Case in point, do you see dotMobi naysayers and others consistently hyperventilate, and bad mouth .us, .org, .eu, .info, .tv .biz or the other 250 domain extensions?
Answer: No.
Why the attacks on .mobi?
Because 13 month old Mobi is one of the most accomplished domain extensions to enter the marketplace.
