Since the end of World War II, there have many economic recessions experienced by various countries around the world. But I think this current crisis is more devastating than all the financial problems that hit in the past.

The UK is heading the same way as the US. Time to start saving and to see what opportunities become available.

I worked for a company a couple of years ago and owner (who just happened to be a billionaire – no joking) was given a talk one day, during this talk he said he built-up his business during the recession and always buys companies that are finding it difficult.

That has always stuck with me….

Very very interesting. Coincidentally this post has given me the perfect solution to a problem I’m facing with a long-time client of mine. They have a .ca domain which has #1 rankings for most of their keywords in Google.ca. But they want to start getting international traffic, and want to use a .com to do it. I’m going to recommend that we go this route, and find a quality .com for purchase!

Possibly the odd one Justin but I am more aggressively targetting companies that perhaps registered some decent domains 10 years ago and without capitalising on them have run into difficulty in this current climate, not knowing what they have. Administrators have the power to sell these domains at whatever price they can get so being pro-active and aggressive here can really pay. I have sent lots of emails and agreed a few deals on domains that were owned by companies going or gone bust.

This is a very positive post. I was kind of expecting you to recommend a… cautious approach, but this kind of ‘aggressive opportunistic’ approach really appeals to me.

Do you think we’ll be seeing some steals in the DP sites for sale forum?

Bona Vacantia used to be good for getting quality domains from bankrupt companies. Sadly, no longer possible – http://www.bonavacantia.co.uk/default.asp?pageid=1316

I know that the medias are trying to paint a picture of things going really bad, houseprices coming down and “hell on earth” but honestly I think they are overreacting.

The outcome will be the same as the media is what tells the public what to believe so your strategy will still work.

Personally I feel that this is one of the best times ever. The dollar is cheaper than ever and because people are scared (or just doesn’t know) prices of great investment opportunities are coming down.

If that isn’t a great thing I don’t know what is. I’m investing as much as I can right now
