Domain investor Mark Levin return to the Domain Name Wire Podcast to talk about how he's investing in 2019 and his results. The year is only 8 months old, but he's already smashed last year's sales total. Today, he explains: what he's buying, how much he pays for domains, how and where he sells them, and much more. I learned a lot from this interview and will incorporate some of Mark's ideas into my own investing. You'll learn a lot, too.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) fights for civil liberties, free speech and privacy on the internet.

On today's show, EFF Senior Staff Attorney Mitch Stoltz discusses the group's concerns.
