For CCP to state in the dev blogs that they are trying to make moon mining less valuable and then to only rearrange the values so that technetium becomes the new dyspro seems extremely unlikely.
Whether it is through wormholes, comets, planets, or alchemy I imagine they will wind up adding to the supply.
Full disclosure - I am heavily invested in the Technetium to Microprocessor line, but suspect in the end the phrase "tulip bulbs" will be popping up in a couple of weeks.

Quote: However the price has also been fluctuating lately (between 8-30k it seems)
Someone cleared all the levels between 9k and 30k the other day and it came down fast and hard afterwards. Although I did get a few sold at 25k , I dont think many others did. In less than 24 hours it was down to 16k. So best not to think that it really traded at 30 because there could not have been many "prints" between 30 and 20 on the way down.

This may be slightly off topic, but does anyone know what the hell is up with pyerite?

Someone went on a spree
Technetium - 27k neodymium - 20k
High volume on carbides |

sorry, I'm a little confused. Was I supposed to enter data and where? I'm getting mostly "#NAME?" in almost every field.

I am looking forward to Dominion day, and was wondering what I should be looking for when it hits.
If there are any last minute nerfs/buffs will these definately be listed in the patch notes?
Other than the obvious (Micro-processor bps), what items should I check up on?

Science and Industry
* The Tech 2 ship component composition has been changed. Full details can be found in the blog by CCP Chronotis The streams must flow. * Manufacture time for some construction components (armor plates and microprocessors) has been reduced. * The volume of carbides (advanced materials) has been reduced to 0.01m3 from 0.05m3. * The quantity of Sylramic Fibers required to produce the armor plate construction material has been reduced to 10 per unit.

I hope you weren't too rash

Ive still have what I consider quite a bit of PT, but I'm still half hoping the rumor will be confirmed just to see this thing go to 20 pages by patchtime

Also depends on the increase in Microprocessor production. Patch notes said they would not take as long to build, but that could be half the time or one-fifth the time. The faster they are to build the sooner the nanotransistor stocks dwindle.
BTW - Quantum Microprocessor are still selling at under 14K. If nothing changes, the nanotransistors in the microprocessors are worth 25K.

Quote: Tech and Plat and all their products are crashing now, they're following Neo down into oblivion. We were wrong, so... so wrong...
At this point I think it would be best if we all tried to sell our stocks. In fact, because of our faulty advice, I feel it is only fair if Akita, me, and others involved in this massive market deception take responsibility, bite the bullet and offer to buy Tech from you at 5k/unit. It's a lot more than you'll get by the end of the week, and you likely won't be able to offload much by then, just look how quickly Neo went south.
Damn decent of you..... damn decent. Btw it takes 3 nano reaction poses to keep a single component assembly array pumping out microprocessors.

Warning Re: signal to noise ratio on this one - also postorder=desc made me think I was looking my mind.

There is not many nanotransistors left to buy this side of 5k, but when people notice they've gone up 35% in 48 hours that may very well change.

This is an odd situation where the raw materials are leading the charge so far ahead of the finished product. I had assumed that the rise from the dominion changes would be felt in the finished products and work their way back (the doubling of the microprocessor output didn't help). Instead Technetium is now way out front and with all those stockpiles of tech sitting there people will naturally figure (as I am) why not go ahead and react it into pt - into nano or ful- into mp's. The profits in mp's are good now, but it would not surprise me if they start slipping dramatically.
The fact that technetium has been going up like a bat outa hell while nanotransistors are fairly stable tells the tale.
BTW I just added nanotransistors to my spell check dictionary- that's one of the warning signs you are playing eve WAY too much.

Quote: Nanotransistors have been leading tech for ages now, for each 1K that nanotrans cost their raw materials should be 30K put together, or put another way 1/30th of tech price + 1/30th of neo price + 1/30th of plat price should be the rough nanotrans price... except its been way higher than that. Tech is moving up to close the profitability gap of producing them a bit.
Microprocessors have been selling fine at ~35k/unit, which indicates that a nanotransistor price of 5k+ is sustainable. Work out from there where most of the isk-flow should go to its raw materials.
That was a bad point I made re tech to nano, I was buying nano yesterday so dunno why I said that, wish I had bought more, but my point was rather that the feedback will move in the opposite direction as it would in a market without so much speculation.
If I'm right, the scarcity is in tower time, not raw materials.
If Photon mp's stay this thin through the weekend people will really be complaining about hulk prices. When all else is the same photon mps at 40k push hulks over 200m. Full diclosure those are my photons at 40k.

Out of tech myself, but it will be interesting to see if we can tell when TornSoul fills that 100B bond by watching moongoo.

Quote: From what I've seen it is speculation and speculation alone holding the price as high as it is: the sellers would be happy with it to be under 40k. Once or twice a day large (10-30b) positions are being assumed with buy order support, after which throat-cutting by station traders drives the price down rapidly to the minimum margin over outstanding buys while buys trend down until the next large movement.
Further, intermediate and advanced reactions don't reflect the Technetium demand at all. Prices on reaction products have been trailing technetium movement for hours if not days until speculation reached them. If in fact the pressure on technetium was in any way indicative of manufacturing demand, we would expect to see movement in the reaction products leading or closely following technetium. This implies those who are purchasing the Technetium must not be using it: if they were rational and making use of it, they would favor the cheaper reaction products.
I agree. Tech to adv. mats have been pushed higher rather than pulled higher.
When Ptechnite is selling at a 10-20% premium to its parts I might be interested, but thats not to say that the people who are buying are wrong either. Many of the really big wallets had to be happy with small percentages whereas tech is something you could still put 100b into and do much better than cap blueprint research.

To Akita T:
Please stop posting in this thread. This thread along with the others on the same subject jumped the shark a while back. This is a vampire thread and needs a stake in its heart.
Although it was fun while it lasted, and I know your forumFU is strong, your skills are needed elsewhere ------anywhere but here.
This is starting to look like the scrapheap thread.
Thank you for your time.

So far -No flood of dyspro coming to the rescue. Low volume in the move from 29k -55k it is suggests that dysprosium was thin rather than a manipulation. Although if a group owns enough dyspro moons they could manipulate by withholding.

Quote: Is everyone not seeing the BIG white elephant in the room?
It is simply impossible in the casual sandbox that is EVE to organize a cartel on the scale of all of NC inhabitants... Even though it would only involve the sub-set of people having tech moons.
Another BIG white elephant that I'm a bit surprised no one has noticed is: *I* am NC (and have tech moons)
Pull up a three month chart of tech. Nothing in eve that trades in volume looks like that except dyspro which is thoroughly mobbed up.

bought a quarter mil after tornsoul said there was no price fixing and stocks were crazy deep. Remains to be seen whether this is just an attempt to move pt or nanotrasistors though.
