How Do You Play The Domain Name Game

One of the things I plan on doing more of in 2006 is buying domain names, I figure .com Domain Names are like Ocean Front Property and can only go up in value if you sit on them long enough.
I have over 100 now and want to at least double that in 2006. One of my strategies is buying domains with the same word or phrase in them
for example I have 45 domains with the name of my favorite Mexican city in them, 15 with RSS in the name and 6 with XXX in the name. I'm also buying 9 letter and under domains to put adsense sites on for now but would be of real value to the right person down the road
like LawGab, HearingMD and GutBets.
Now my questions, is this a good strategy?
am I right in not worrying about a domains history because this is a long term plan?
what's the best way to find expired domain names?
I'm using Sedo.com for parking but am thinking about trying http://www.fabulous.com anyone using them?
The best tool I know of for finding domain names is http://www.domainsbot.com/ is there anything better?
