There are many reasons domain investors may proceed cautiously this year with the knowledge that new TLDs are coming soon.

    Many domain investors are applying for new TLDs themselves, and may be reserving cash to support those ventures. Others may be putting cash on the sideline to register new TLDs when they come out. Some may be worried about what effect new TLDs will have on their existing portfolio, and are therefore treading carefully.

    On the other hand, I know some investors who are spending more this year than usual as they try to buy the .com equivalent of strings that will be released as top level domains.

    What about you? Is the imminent release of new TLDs changing how you approach your domain business right now?
