Donald Trump, Anthony Robbins and the CEO/Founder of Protrada are all going to be appearing on stage at the National Achievers Congress 2012 in San Jose.
Protrada CEO and Founder Troy Rushton will be headlining the domain name investing session of the three day conference starting April 10th and concluding April 12th to an audience of around 8,000.
“This is the beginning of a program being rolled out by Protrada to take domain name investing to a new mass audience of qualified investors across the entire spectrum of asset classes from real estate to options trading.”
According to a press release by the company.
The focus of Troy’s presentation will surround the myriad of benefits domain name trading offers investors; the ease of using Protrada as the primary platform for domain buying, selling, management and development as well as teaching the tactics and strategies employed by the most successful domain name traders.
“”Troy will be presenting a program which has been a collaboration of many key influencers in the domaining space including; Morgan Linton (morganlinton.com), Adam Dicker (DNForum), Paul Nicks (Go Daddy), Braden Pollock (Legal Brand Marketing), Paul Goldstone (igoldrush.com), Shane Cultra (domainshane.com) and many more. They have all played an important role in providing content, ideas and commentary for this seminal presentation.”
“Introducing domaining to a new audience will greatly benefit the industry as a whole,” said Troy Rushton, CEO and founder of Protrada. “Every time I attend industry conferences, domainers tell me the greatest barrier to industry growth is a lack of liquidity which would be remedied by new investors. We have an opportunity to help solve that problem for the benefit of all stakeholders and that’s exactly what I’ll be doing at NAC 2012 in San Jose.”
A small number of tickets to the event are still available in both the General and VIP areas. Diamond Tickets are strictly limited as purchasers enjoy extraordinary benefits including lunch each day of the Congress with Messrs Trump, Robbins and Kiyosaki and a special ‘Power Talk’ Q&A session with ‘The Donald’.

Robbins doesn’t come cheap to speak at live events, neither does Trump for that matter – wish I could be there.
K says
How did Morgan make it? He’s a good guy but I’d rather see someone of higher calibre such as Mr. Silver…
RaTHeaD says
maybe tony robbins can get donald trump to walk over hot coals and roasted bones and turn his hair back red. i’d pay to see that.
Dean says
I once had dinner at Mar-a-Lago seated next to Donald Trump, I suppose that makes me a celebrity of sorts, lol..
Back in the real World says
Liquidity can be created on an asset class that is income generating however domainers will not like or accept the multiple that an investor would place upon that asset if its a domain.
When looking at domains that do not generate an income, or so low as to be of no consequence, how do you judge a market price? This is where domaining and property are at totally opposite ends of the spectrum, there is no physical asset to redeem against should you wish to cash in that has ten of the exact same assets on the same street that have been sold in the last 12 months. Having a smaller garden, having no cinema room, having no pool may change the price of a million dollar house by $10,000, having an S on the end of it can change the price of a domain by 90%. How much did meet.me make parked? yet its a $450,000 domain.
I have seen people post about this before on this very blog about creating a market for domains in this way, IMHO it wont happen anytime soon.
Liquidity is not just about having money available to buy assets whenever those assets are available (when a domainer gets the offer he wants), liquidity is a double edged sword, it requires that there are enough assets available for the market to set what IT considers to be a fair price. Imagine buying gold for a grand and waiting for someone to offer you $25,000 for that same gold, thats what people do on Namejet everyday.
Either way, domainers will not like the market price and/or at some point investors will be left holding, compared to other commodities, a worthless bag.
My ten cents, I could be wrong, it happened once before.
Ron says
ProTrada seems to have been a huge failure, if they had to do it again, I am sure they would never have launched it.
Back to the real Squirrel says
err…umm.. sorry wrong thread..
Goran Duskic says
Huge fan of Tony Robbins, read his book Awaken The Giant Within, and love his CANI concept! Watched almost every episode of Trumps apprentice! Read Kiyosakis Rich Dad, Poor Dad in one single day! Why am I on the wrong side of the planet?!
Back in the real world says
Squirrel lol
Give me another pov mate. There only opinions, theyre like a***holes everyone has one.
Carlos says
I’m a fan of Tony Robbins and Donald Trump fan I have no doubt it will be a fantastic event.
John Berryhill says
Is Trump still hot on the trail of mystery, trying to figure out where the President of the US was born?
A mental giant, that one is.
Trump This says
John Berryhill, ‘your fired’
BrianWick says
@John Berryhill –
“A mental giant, that one is.”
I assume you are referring to Obama 🙂
Yes Obama is quite a mental giant and a genius – so I agree – who cares where the guy was born
owen frager says
Did you know Donald Trump, Domain Tools and I all have something in common? A fifth avenue address. Cocoran says: “Does it make sense to you that a Picasso could be worth the same as a six bedroom on Fifth Avenue?”
Meanwhile in the search for this info I discovered: http://www.nyc.com/best-of-new-york/best_of_fifth_avenue.s1903/
NYC.com what a concept!
Bill Sweetman says
Bringing more “domain investors” into the market doesn’t increase liquidity; it just increases the lowball offers. Domainers selling to domainers is not a viable, long-term solution. But good luck to Troy anyway. He is a sharp dude.
Seb says
ProTrada is garbage compared to DomainFace, imo.
John Berryhill says
“John Berryhill, ‘your fired’”
It’s “you’re”, pinhead.
And I see that Mr. Trump is off on another winner:
“Business mogul Donald Trump chose the fifth annual World Autism Awareness Day to reveal that he “strongly” believes that autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are linked to exposure to vaccines.”
Sooner or later, he’ll get around to “what really happened on 9/11”.
Rob says
Congrats to Troy for arranging this congress with high profile entrepreneurs. The additional exposure of domains can’t hurt but can only increase awareness and future growth for the industry as a whole.
Ash Anderson says
@Seb I used to be a fan of DomainFace too but have switched to Protrada. They’ve rolled out some new features recently which has improved it considerably. Bottom line, I get more bang for my buck.
Troy Rushton says
Hey Mike, thank you for posting, we really appreciate the support
@Las Vegas, i have some free VIP tickets if you want any
@Ron, we had some unforeseen challenges early days, but we’re on the rise
@Bill, thank you, we are certainly trying to increase the overall participation rate
@Seb we’ve made lots of improvements recently, would really value your feedback
@Rob, thank you
@Ash, glad things are getting better, thank you for supporting us
Pinhead says
@ John berryhill
“you’re” fired
Btw the Donald is not the only person to suspect a link exists between vaccines and autism. The belief is like you rather common. I suspect its the democrat in you that makes u a hater, either that or you are jealous of trumps success
Pinhead says
If you trust drug companies more than a man the “you’re” the pinhead
John Berryhill says
“If you trust drug companies”
Yeah, it’s all a big conspiracy. Those people selling “alternative” treatments on the back of this kind of stuff are doing it for free. Sure…
“In early 2010, a spike in cases appeared at Kaiser Permanente in San Rafael, and it was soon determined to be an outbreak of whooping cough — the largest seen in California in more than 50 years.”
One of the problems with vaccinations is that they’ve been so successful for so long that I’m probably among the youngest folks I know who can remember kids who had polio.
This type of misinformation can have devastating consequences:
“In August 2003, rumors spread in some states in Nigeria, especially Kano, that the vaccine caused sterility in girls. This resulted in the suspension of immunization efforts in the state, causing a dramatic rise in polio rates in the already endemic country. On June 30, 2004, the WHO announced that after a 10-month ban on polio vaccinations, Kano had pledged to restart the campaign in early July. During the ban the virus spread across Nigeria and into 12 neighboring countries that had previously been polio-free. By 2006, this ban would be blamed for 1,500 children being paralyzed and had cost $450 million for emergency activities.”
1500 paralyzed kids, all because of an unfounded rumor. That’s the cost of modern voodoo.
Fitting says
Guess there is always an argument is support of any position, right John?
– In September of 2009 Pfizer settled civil and criminal charges in the amount of 2.3 billion dollars with the federal government for illegally marketing four types of drugs. The Pfizer corporation made over 180 billion dollars selling twelve twelve kinds of drugs and only paid 2.3 billion dollars in fines
– Avandia used to be the worlds best selling diabetes drug for years. It earned its maker Glaxo Smith Kline billions of dollars, but now it is linked to over 100,000 heart attacks in the United States. Glaxo Smith Kline was aware of the possible cardiac risks associated with Avandia years before the evidence became public. Glaxo Smith Kline also tried to prevent heart attack warnings from being printed on their products box.
– The Vioxx scandal widened this week as new research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine reveals that Vioxx maker Merck held data for three years that proved Vioxx caused an alarming increase in the risk of heart attacks and strokes. And yet Merck chose not to release that data. In fact, it took three more years of patients dying from heart attacks before Vioxx was pulled off the market
Like a knife, misinformation cuts both ways
John Berryhill says
None of which have anything to do with the question of Donald Trump’s expertise in immunology, and all of which resulted in legal and financial repercussions.
Omigosh! Do profit-seeking companies do things for which they may be held liable? Yes. Of course they do.
The supposed link between autism and vaccines has been exhaustively investigated by independent researchers. There is no “there” there. The fact that one can find wrongdoing in those instances you cited, and many more like them, does not render some other random assertion to be true. It was, in fact, independent scientific investigations which got to the bottom of those things you mention, and not the rantings of a pontificating egomaniac.
BrianWick says
Trumps TV Shows do nothing more than promote mediocrity as an unachievable dream to the 8-5 corporate lifer who sits and the couch at nite waiting for some politician or someone else to fix his life – as a result, it is understandable that Trump thinks he is a politician and can be a spokesperson for anything and everything.
Although autism and other illnesses deserve much discussion – Trump needs to leave that alone and continue to find new ways to be productive, make dough and MOST IMPORTANTLYA get laid – and then I will be a big fan of his again.
