Recent results of the Chinese stock exchange 4.cn. indicate that a large part of the highest ranked transactions involve the sale of numeric domain names. However, they often fail to be included in the officially published global transaction rankings.
The people of China seem to have a special liking for domains containing strings of digits, which translates into the high-amount transactions. Interestingly, it’s not only the .CN domain but also primarily .COM. And while the meaning of these “domain names” is virtually incomprehensible to the Western reader, providing they actually have a specific reference, it is the Chinese’ love for numerology that probably affects the value of numeric sequences.
The following is a sampling of recent transactions involving numerics at 4.cn:
