Domain Investing Stats and Tips

Many ordinary Chinese citizens remain enthusiastic about investing in domain names

March 5, 2016 by Raymond Hackney

The topic of domain names was covered on CRIEnglish.com China Radio International’s English Service is one of CRI’s most important divisions.

The article looks at how the average citizen is getting interested in domain names.

Colin Campbell of Dot Club was quoted

From an insider’s perspective, Colin Campbell thinks Chinese investor’s preference for short, numeric names is very reasonable.

“I have seen in China a number of the short-character letters “nn” or “LLL”; they’ve been trading very well in the marketplace. In fact they are almost liquid to the point where you can put them for an auction: One day, you buy for 100 dollars, a three-character letter, and then another day, sell it for 300 dollars. You know there’s a lot of liquidity for those certain types of names. I think when you get into longer words, there’s slightly less liquidity for those particular names. But over time I think that will improve.”

The article goes on to talk about how important research is for Chinese investors, many who might be novices.

The worry is will there be another bubble.

    When short is sweet in a mobile World it seems odd that a 4 character extension or anything longer seems like a good option when .com, .cn, .cc and many more open 2 character cctld’s fit the short and sweet theory much better. While there are obviously some great word.club combo”s 4n,5n,6n.club and letter combo’s seem like a stretch. Good marketing will sell just about anything these days if you spend enough cash. Pass the coolaid and open your wallet.
