Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. New domain extentions are a terrible investment with plenty of precedence. Look at .info, .biz, .pro, .travel, .mobi and .tel. All of these sunrise launches were marketed by greedy registries with money making hype and propaganda about huge potential opportunities. Everyone is looking for information on the Internet. (.info) There are millions of small businesses that aren't online and need their own sites. (.biz) Business professionals need to stand out from the crowd with their own sites. (.pro) Travel is a major industry with $billions in annual revenue. (.travel) Use of mobile devices is surging and everyone will need to access the Internet with their phones or tablets. (.mobi & .tel)

This new wave of TLDs is going to have the same result, but on a much larger scale with more people getting burned and losing their investment money. It's going to end as well as the
Dutch tulip mania bubble from the 1600s. Charles Mackay's
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is essential reading for any investor.
