Investors who are familiar with the conditions of the economy and stock market of the bubble days of the late 90's and 2000 are probably also familiar with the term "domain speculation." According to the AP, those days seem to be back in the domain world.
The underlying premise behind the domain speculation game is that you can find domains that are undervalued or under-appreciated and sell them to someone when they become in-demand or needed. While this theme does make sense in many cases, such as purchasing a domain name that is unclaimed for a few dollars, I think that the average investor should steer far away from the purchase of already-expensive domain names with the hopes of selling them later.
