You might find this of interest from the “domain king”. Interesting perhaps if you aren’t into following the domain market.

We are about to see a rash of retailers go under. Some very big ones. I think one of the the biggest will be Sears. They are already hanging on for dear life from what it looks like to me. Same with restaurants, jewelry stores, spas etc. Main St and the malls are about to look a lot different. Malls going out of business? Yup!

The beneficiary to all this will be the Internet in general and domains in particular. Especially income producing domains as banks and TBills start paying 0% interest.

A domain making $10,000 a year is like having $1 Million in the bank at 1%, $500k at 2%, $250k at 4%. The safest places to put your money are likely paying close to 0%! So a domain making just $27.40 a day with a history really is an attractive investment today and one that should be exploited. Domains ARE a great long term investment. Something we as an industry have known for many years. Now others are going to be looking for safety and domain names are in their direct path.
