#12One thing is certain, you got a great domain name.
Not necessarily. Perhaps it's easy to remember and it more easily found in search, but it's harder to build a brand around a generic name like markets.com. Bloomberg, The Street, and The Motley Fool have the advantage in this space.
Well done on securing this very valuable name.

You've been sitting on this name for a while?

That's a moot point. When you have an AAA generic like markets.com you don't need to brand it; the whole sector is yours to own! Well done on securing this very valuable name.

#17there doesn't really appear to be anything there that provides anything there that isn't already readily available in other places.
Aggregating market information is good, but there is so much out there that does it already that it'd be better to have even ONE thing that gives someone a unique reason to go to markets.com
