As some of you know - I do occasionally invest is some domains (usually generic domains) - sometimes to develop into websites and sometimes just as an “investment”

3. You own your own personal name as a .com. (thats me!)
4. You own your own personal name as multiple extensions.
5. You don’t know what GOOG is trading at, but you know the highest reported domain sale of last week.
6. You were involved in the highest reported domain sale of last week.
7. You have more domains than friends.
8. You purposely leave the .net available for registration so some sucker will develop it and indirectly send traffic to your .com of the same name.

10. You have spent enough money on domains to buy a nice house. (Or two)
