They will keep the mouth to mouth going rather than admit to the relatives that they killed their patient through incompetence.

Yep, much of America is still in denial, but that sounds like a bubble to me. The only thing that is going to pin the dollar now is much higher interest rates. That should prick it!

Just my 2 cents. |
China has no vested interest in instability, but at current exchange levels their economy is not big enough in international terms to be able to afford to keep things going. A realignment of dollar with Yuan is inevitable. The Chinese need to revalue the Yuan but that on its own is unlikely to be enough, and they won't through good money after bad.

We are in an industry that by its very nature is revolutionary and will remain so for many years to come, unfortunately many forget this and especially those who have been thus far successful become conservative in their outlook. We as domainers should constantly strive to identify new niches, small and large, to which our industry is able to grow into, whether it be IDN's or the interpretation and use of marketing psychology.
IDN's are alien to many (by the way including myself) but they are the natural language of vast market swathes around the world, if I had time and money to spare I would definately invest both in these markets, however, they are markets in which the domainer should be more than knowledgable in the selected language. |
ASCII domains have fetched good money in China. There own internal domain market is only really starting to adjust to IDN. Much trading goes down behind closed doors.
Lets put it this way. If you owned Loans.com would it matter if you did not speak English?
