/me mumbles something about "buy Cadmium"...
/me cries about the 12 Cadmium moons he use to run and how he sold off 2M units at a fraction of their current value....

On the other hand, Clair Bear is an 1d10t and doesn't understand what market forces are at work on low end moons materials....
Welcome to Market Discussion, Mr. Alt.
Feel free to speak your mind but at least have the dignity not to hide behind an alt. If you're going to call someone an idiot, do it to their face and leave the leet-speak at the door.
By the way, you are right. The great bulk of low ends come from two sources, towers that have nothing to do with mining but that are employed in such a capacity in an effort to defray their operating cost and the reactor operators themselves who position their chains so as to directly integrate low ends. That's why their will never be a market for things like atmospheric gases and why the most common metals are likely to always sell below the fuel costs to mine them.

We seem to be getting into the realm of reactors operating at a loss, now that's a much more interesting discussion to have. There are indeed some low end complex materials being cranked out at a loss right now. In fact, there is at least one that is seemingly seeing more production the lower it goes. There have always been peculiar transients in the complex materials and the large stocks and long manufacturing chain tend to exacerbate them but I have to say I'm a bit confounded by one of the present trends. That said, I have the strongest of inclinations that there's good money to be made in it, much as there was with ice. I got called a fool then; we shall see how I fair this time.

If this coincides with increased dyspro/promethium production we could very well see a reversal of current trends.
Do keep in mind that low end complex materials are not completely coupled to high end complex materials. A lot of T2 does not actually require dysprosium/promethium and as such it is possible to have independent and even conflicting movement. We saw that around last summer, a good share of the T2 mods were dropping in price while the T2 ships were climbing. Then throw in the racial carbides and it's a real mess. Just thinking about all the annoying little quarks and complexities makes me remember why I stopped producing the stuff.
