The forecasts are not so bright for the gambling industry with many companies still struggling to stay afloat after being hit by the strong recessionary waves. But the picture is not quite so bleak with the business of domain names. This is because casinos rely heavily on the popularity of their brand name to attract traffic as this is a sure-shot way for any new visitor to visit their sites. Domain names like bettingexchange.us, igaming.us, picks.us, and jackpotnews.com are all up for sale by UK company Gambling Invest in an auction during the week following Jan 26, 2011. Purchasers can either develop their own sites with these domain names or employ a Buy-and-Hold strategy to profit by sale in the future.
Any Time Gold Now In Florida!
Any Time Money has just become Any Time Gold as the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, Florida, saw its first ATM dispensing gold in the form of coins and bars. Abu Dhabi and some European countries have already enjoyed the convenience of withdrawing gold at short notice, but this is the first such case in the United States.
The machine, manufactured in Germany, has the technology to incorporate the changing market value of the glittering metal as it recalculates the price at which you can purchase gold every ten minutes. When you insert your credit or debit card, you get to choose the amount and form in which you want to buy gold. The price of the precious metal in the elegant box is inclusive of packaging, certification, and markup.
Gold is a metal that is bought after meticulous scrutiny. It is a treasured commodity, both for its value as well as its beauty. It is likely that people will initially purchase it out of curiosity as it is a new idea. It is also very convenient that you no longer need to wait for store managers and pawn brokers to open shop to sell the metal to you.

Moody’s Forecast For The Strip More Upbeat!
Recession has forcibly decreased consumer spending in the United States. This has in turn also affected the gambling industry. But Moody’s has revised their earlier forecast of a flat growth rate line to a marginal improvement in the form of one to two percent growth in gaming revenue and two to four percent growth in operators’ profits. The effect of all the cost-cutting moves made in the last couple of years is likely to reflect on the companies’ bottom line now. But the unemployment figures as well as the glut of operators in the market have ensured the single-digit growth rates.
