So much for online sales recession.
(all bark... no teeth)

Past 3 years I have done 50% plus online for the holidays. Seems every year there is a new factor for the increase.

- Stores low on stock.
- New release not in yet.
- Prices.
- Gas prices
- Return policy becoming better.
- More competition.

And finally

- Shopping rage.

Patience, Domo...we're just getting started.

Today marked a 10% drop--a technical market correction--in the Dow Jones from its year-high for the second time this year..

We'll all feel the teeth soon enough.

What on Earth has a "Healthy Mkt correction" to do ?
with tremendous better than expected "good for Direct Navigation domains" ' online USA sales?
(Double digit growth across the board)

I think there is already a "Doom and Gloom end of the times " thread at the "casual chat".

Methinks "someone" has a vested interest in thee doom y gloom...

Good news! and this is also reflected in Mondays DS income. RPC for the first time in many months showed a positive movement which resulted in higher income.

Just trying to steer my fellow domainers away from Pollyannaish financial red herrings. The crash hurts a little less if you're ready for it.

P.S. To Domo: you're the one who brought up the word "recession" in this thread.

I confess.
The word "recession" found it's intended target.
(with a Smart Missile Precission)

The crash if it happens (I mean you been crying wolf for years one day eventually it will happen), It could be good for some , here is sound financial advice:

1)" buy low sell high"
2) Crisis equals opportunity.

That applies to domains to, it seems we are going thru a "flight to quality" period.
Peace.
