There have been many discussions surrounding a possible Chip crash this week, with some investors suggesting that four-letter Chinese premium .COMs will continue to decline in price, a move that could produce ripples throughout the rest of the Chinese domain investment market.
Although I have personally noticed a change in investment style among Chinese investors, I think that this could just be a temporary dip. Ultimately, however, opinions are fairly worthless. Gather data, analyze it, and make your decisions based upon the available data.
Garbage In, Garbage Out. Are Chips Crashing?
@Recons.Com suggests that after buying tens of thousands of Chinese premium four-letter .COM domains at a low cost, Chinese investors have now lost interest in this category and will turn their attention to new "pump and dump" schemes using domains, such as five-letter and seven-number .COMs.
Could this analysis be true? Have your say in the discussion.

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
Shane Bellone has shared the news that he had the opportunity to buy 200 premium three-letter .IN domain names at $90 per name, but he ultimately passed on the deal.
Other investors have shared similar stories. @tomcarl told of his opportunity to buy between 20 and 30 four-letter .COMs at a GoDaddy Closeout price of $10 each. Today, this investment would have been worth around $60,000 according to recent sales data.

What Should I Do With $1,500?
If you had a budget of $1,500 to spend on domain names, what would you buy? This discussion, started by @Insha010, has many different opinions on what to purchase: Chinese premium domains, one-word .COMs, and two-word .COMs have all been recommended.
There are also many members advocating spending $500 as a "test" to see which domain names could be acquired. @Insha010 gave an update stating that he has now acquired several two-word .COMs and "geo" .COMs.

Has The Bubble Burst?
Another discussion this week is asking whether the Chinese bubble has burst. This discussion references recent domain name auctions from 4.CN for three four-letter .COMs that ended at sales prices between $1,542 and $1,631. Will this signify a further downturn in the short domain name market?
Many investors have had their say on this matter. Blogger @Domain Shane gave his opinion, telling fellow members that this will be the transition of money into the next big push.

A Domainer's Good Deed
With domain investors often being mistaken for cybersquatters in the media, it is always healthy for the industry as a whole to share stories such as this one.
@LarryDomain noticed that a company was using a misspelled domain name for their main website. After looking up the domain name using the correct spelling, he noticed it was available for registration.
He registered the domain name and gave the name to the company with the misspelled domain name. His nice gesture was rewarded with a lifetime subscription to their service.
