    There are giants in the domain, domain grabbers - sellers, etc..

    Too hard to make a fortune without a fortune to invest in research

    I think come out a proper domain name is getting harder and harder. What i suggest is to pay 120% attention on the current market. money making domain name kinda like a trend follower.
    E.g.
    - getFacebookApp.com, myFacebookFriend.com may come out after facebook effect
    So, same to the others

    It's a tough business. You have to be on top of all of the domain laws, regulations, etc. You can follow discussions on the forums and chat groups to see if it is something you want to get involved with.

    Here are some terms you might be well suited to look up -

    TM
    Typosquatting
    TM squatting
    C&D
    UDRP

    With such domains you might make *some* money but long term its a recipe for disaster.

    I've just started selling my collection that I've been gathering these last few months @ Domainholics.com. Two sold already for a healthy profit. There's no other business where you can buy something and sell it for 200% + the next day. It's hard work find good ones tho.
