Adding .com Adds Value

from the silly-silly-investors dept

If you're one of those folks who laughed at all the companies adding ".com" to the end of their name (and I've laughed at them too), turns out we're the stupid ones. A new study shows that companies adding .com to their name had their stock price increase significantly. Unfortunately, this probably means that more companies that have little to nothing to do with the internet will soon be .com's as well.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
