What the heck happened to LLLL.com's?

[soggyindo]

i know there's a whole section for short domains, but just for the rest of us (who don't go into the detail of that investing area)...

what the heck happened to LLLL.com prices??

i've seen some recently for $14 and lower. I remember the talk of them being like a standard and -- in a limited supply -- would only go up in value.

i'm starting to feel glad i stayed away from them. the whole HWYQ scene never made al that much sense to me.

are people thinking it'll rebound to former highs or what?

Yeah, that is true. I always factor than in my domain buying decisions.

What some people seem to be forgetting is the bad letters in English are good in other languages like Chinese so even what seems to be bad like qzbx might be quite a good domain with potential end user sales.

From the Bible, Ecclesiastes 3 (sort of ):

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to go buy, and a time to sell
A time to go short, and a time for short covering
A time for keywords, and a time for acronyms
A time to hold, a time to take profits...

I always liked Buffet's comment below, i.e., "Don't invest in things you don't understand". Great advice from a billionaire.

warren buffett also counsels buying stocks where you understand the business (how exactly it makes money), and it has inherent brandability and audience recognition (coke, amex, etc).

for my business approach low-end LLLL's never passed these two tests.

Excellent quote. If anything this is the type of environment that will separate the people who put in the time and research and treat it like a business from the people that don't.

Words Adapted Book of Ecclesiastes (By Pete Seeger)

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

So what time is it now? If you have a handful of 4L.coms (less than 20) hold onto them. The price is still cheap to renew and you will kick yourself 10 years from now.

A time to renew :imho:

A time to drop IMO

The only consistant stream of sales i find are either Brandable/Pronouceable domains or 1 word domains.

The only way i see money in 4L domains are for company acronyms. If you cant find a company that fits your 4 letters. drop it.

Why should you let them drop if you can sell low end LLLL.COMs for at least $10-15?
