Anyone want to buy WallStreet.com?

Moniker.com released a preliminary list of domain names up for auction on October 12th at the upcoming Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C conference in Miami, FL.

Partial list is here. Full list available for download here.

The auction will include such financial gems as WallStreet.com and StockQuotes.com, plus some killer generic domain names like Computer.com.

The recent winner of the TechCrunch40 was a startup know by the generic domain name Mint.com. Many of the other companies presenting had made-up names that were difficult to say/spell/remember. Perhaps this is saying something towards the benefit of a strong generic domain name for a new financial website.

Not like I could afford it, but do you have an idea of what is the initial going rate for Wallstreet.com?

Moniker curiously does not list an opening bid range for wallstreet.com. In my opinion, I think it would be at least $5 million. To the right buyer a domain like this is priceless.
