  Not always, no.  But sometimes yes.  This would depend on whether the
particular commodity is scarce, or not, whether the commodity is one of
great value, like oil, gold, silver, ect,ect,ect...  But we already in this
global economy have speculation in Oil, gold, silver, and yes, Domain Names.

How about those apples, eh!?

  What people?  How many?   Is it a majority of these "People" to
