As if .guitars was ever going to be a high demand gTLD? Too focussed.

Funny read. Everyone is trying to suck out the most they can before the end. Last one out switch off the lights.

FS is probably in new gtld's to the tune of $10 mil for the 185 K per, and op EX.
Squeezing coal to make diamonds isn't a very good strategy.

Invested around $3K in ngtlds, lots of research and trying to make sure keyword.Whatever made sense.

Sold one for $10K, one for $3.4K and a couple of others in mid $xxx so well in to profit but I think luck more than judgement.

Dropped most but retained a few where the renewal fees are acceptable versus potential resale.That applies across the board with my dwindling portfolio.

Looking at recent figures on new releases it looks like in general ngtlds are going belly up rapidly, maybe hang on to your IDN a bit longer! :-p

I think the dot brands will be fine.
dot ibm , dot bmw.

I guess dot xyz and dot club are registry successes, but weird as investments ..
