    Domain hacks are such a giant waste of time and money.

    I have to ask who'd buy a domain like this for such a huge chunk of money. I mean, I can see loan.com or something being worth $1m+ but who'd buy invest.com? An investment firm? Why would they pay so much when they could just get into the top 3 Google results for the term "invest" for a LOT less? That would be way more cost-effective.

    Don't even bother looking until closer to the end time of the auction, nobody with a clue wastes their time bidding this early on. I'd be shocked if it didn't fell more than a million dollars.

    Type in traffic and branding, it's worth well more than that in the long run.

    They don't care about getting into the top three for one search term, a well branded, easy to remember site based on high dollar items related to investing would pay for itself in no time based on the long-tail alone much less if it was purchased by a major bank.

    Banks make billions in profits, they could easily justify tens of millions for a domain like this one.

    If cowboys.com goes for 375k, this will go for a great deal more than that.
