Ok, that sounds better than just gloating.
It's always important to either research or have background knowledge in any item before investing... in domains or anything.
I invested a lot in AMD because background knowledge in that they bought ATI and had chips in the XBox and Wii, which would eventually undergo an upgrade eventually. However, the next 2 or so days it went from $3.94 and just plummeted to about a dollar (when I almost hopped ship, cause 1/4th is better than $0 when and if they filed bankruptcy) because of a bad financial report/CEO turnover. Glad I didn't, they're sitting above $4 now with a nice increasing trend and 2 products using their technology now.
Forecasting was unpredictable in this event, but in domaining it can be applied with ratios of end users and the name at hand and can always be put through $1 auctions to possibly get pennies on the dollar back before a drop.
