| The US economy looks like it's in recession, or close, and it will touch a lot of areas that it hasn't yet. Hard to say when it will end, but it might not even be half way done.
It's weird, prices are going up, but interest rates are heading down.
Anyone with a lot of cash stored up, or liquid assets of value, won't have any problems.
Anyone who has built up a good cash generating portfolio will be fine, but the recession might affect smaller domainers, or more domainers entering the market, if they don't have the funds to purchase names or renew their portfolios.
Companies will still advertise online if it makes them a buck. Online advertising will still grow which helps the domain market.
The internet isn't going anywhere. If anything, people will surf the net more in a recession because they can't afford to take trips, shop, etc. So being invested in domains and the internet are some of the best places to be. Stocks like Google, Marchex, Kaboose, Microsoft are starting to look pretty cheap too. |
