saved me typing this out
the winners are the biggest tech players who can afford to just sit on their tech for around a month. the little guys gotta chase each other down to keep SRPs going, supers going into build, officer-pimped tengus for their directors, etc.
i think otec was a fine idea, but poorly timed. unfortunately you don;t get a lot of cracks at collusion when so much depends on trust in each other and faith in effectiveness.
that said, if goons have enough banked now, they can just manhandle tech and derivatives directly to achieve what they want, and **** the cheap price-fixing. I know PL has enough banked to **** with the market, but their extraction diffuse, and I'm pretty sure all their alliance income just goes into Shamis's wallet and sits there, plus they've never shown nearly the same interest in leveraging other forms of power beyond the political and military.

Food for thought.
Yup, a pretty pathetic attempt at "manipulation" that will be snapped up by someone very soon. That said, it doesn't change the overall downward short-term trend, which in turn won;t change the overall long-term upward trend.

i'll fix it by next weekend
and this is why you should keep your manipulations subtle, otherwise people with real power (goons) notice what you're doing and squash you

Yup. They have neither the proper organization nor the seeming desire to apply serious pressure on the tech market, even if they nominally have both the tech output and cash to do so, which leaves goons as the sole possible stewards of the tech price in my mind. |

>200k for sale at 175k pu, buys aren't rallying, amateur speculators dumping stocks
until somebody big comes by to stabilize the price with a big bet, we're well into a freefall
i appreciate the opportunity to make more money from volatility, but I will definitely miss the wailing of mentally unhinged hisec forum warriors...until it's back at 200k and beyond of course |

Really? You had trouble with grasping the temporal qualifier with each one?
Not complicated.

A hero has stepped forth to rally the market.
Who is this masked financier? Will he continue to stave off falling tech prices?
Nobody knows. |

Disappointing "crash". Not nearly enough panic.
I think my expectations were too high, and disappointment was inevitable. |
