If I can the inclination to speculate on real estate I'd do it in a
heartbeat, with no worries.
I follow your reasoning on domains, and I have already justified it to
myself pretty well. I have come across no ethical or moral problems with
it. But I'll only get into that market if and when I can make the
nagging feeling go away.
I think it may stem from something you said about the housing market.
You got angry because of speculators driving the prices up. This is
probably what feels wrong to me about domains: making someone angry. Yet
it wouldn't bother me in real estate, so why should it in virtual
estate?
Perhaps you've helped me with my problem. :)
