There are a lot of discussion about the long term future of mineral supply and prices after the patch. However there is another thing to consider:
The volatility of the mineral market is going to be much much higher. The lack of price floor obviously means mineral prices can fall out of the bottom. What one can also expect is a scaling down of production with falling prices.
However, demand is not stable on the upward side, as pvp in the form of major wars can consume significant amounts of minerals. In the insurance fraud world, it means diverting from existing fraud operations, however mineral supply is likely inelastic with low spare capacity without fraud, as miners need to realize the price change and organize efficient logistics for mining, which has a real time lag. (let alone things like training a hulk alt) We might have to go back to reprocessing civilian afterburners one day. The end of warfare or other heavy mineral consuming activity would probably result in a major price drop in the medium term in the inverse.
Now, mineral prices is unlikely to reach reactions levels of instability as it is relatively easy to switch products or start production from the current super surplus (until all the mining alt accounts go inactive) but it is never going to be like the days before. ---------- The floating mineral price probably means all industry related activities just became a lot more excel heavy......

In case that went over your head, a distinct possibility, if you scroll down the first page of threads you'll find this topic already in discussion. If you scan the next page the count will go up to about four (4) distinct threads discussing this same topic.
So, woohoo, you are special. You be needing your own private thread. Woohoo, you roxorz.
