The stock market plunge in august, the credit crunch in september didn't derail sentiments, but why has sentiments plunged in october? Christmas blues or the weather??

Or is it because of Halloween? Or was it because of the domain rate hike - maxed us out. :o

Ah, you talking about domains?

Well if you are that depressed just chuck a few of your Chinese Cities on Auction cheap and watch them walk out of the door.

Domains is due to google price keeps going up while the PPC they give out drop - frustration.

I'm talking about general us sentiments. There has been a change sometime in october.

Chinese cities are about the best long term idn investments around. Most major chinese cities got their own language (dialect), culture, and ethicity.

I don't know what happened in the past 8 hours, but I got an amazing amount of traffic across my entire portfolio at ND. In 8 hours, I got 30% of the amount of clicks I got for the entire month of October. It was spread out, too, so I don't really suspect any type of bogus activity.

Someone was moving something around in the ND server room, and disconnected the fudge box by mistake?

There's probably more truth in that than we know...

If this keeps up, sentiment will be changing abruptly in November!

Much of it could be down to the Christmas Advertising budgets kicking in. Good but perhaps largely seasonal.

I am still wondering what the heck you were talking about when you started this thread. Did you mean the one day downturn in stocks? Traffic is tail-kicking right now.
